New metal detectors Garrett Vortex 5, Vortex 7, Vortex 9. Novelty 2024
When there was a pandemic (do you still remember that time?), one of Garrett’s top managers was being interviewed. He was asked – Which internet messenger do you prefer? He answered -. Phone.

All three of these units can be submerged in water, are relatively new (fresh models) and have won definite recognition from treasure hunters.
