Metal Detecting Civil War Relics With The New Garrett Vortex VX9

- This is not an instructional video on how to use the Vortex. It is just an adventure
On this adventure, we go metal detecting with the prototype Garrett Vortex VX9 for the first time in the water. This is one of my spots where I have found Civil War Relics, coins, buttons and other interesting artifacts. This is my second test hunt with this new Garrett metal detector. I have detected this battle site many times and I found even more artifacts on this trip. Although this is a prototype of the Garrett Vortex VX9, I think it is already a great detector.

I hope you enjoy this new detection. I was happy with the finds and the time spent on the water. I don't go into too much detail about the Vortex because I don't know exactly how the finished product will be set up. Plus, I'm still really green with it and this was only the second time I have ever used it. I hope you enjoy the video!

Is it lighter than the AT max?
What’s the battery situation with this new one… clearly they did away with the antiquated battery sleeve that was designed so poorly on the AT max.
Thank you
Looks like make a bath tub faucet from a mobile home bathroom
Chigg! You should do a collaboration with NuggetNoggin!
I don’t watch for the finds, but the adventure and education. Plus, you’re so entertaining! And I must say I appreciate how much you love your wife!! Good man!
You always hqd a greqt style..
The brass piece you found is either a back mount lavatory faucet or a leg tub faucet. If it measures 3-3/8” between the stems, it’s for the tub. If it measures 4” it’s a lavatory faucet.
Enjoyed the video alot
@16:09 that's a brass faucet someone adapted...broke outlet. Really long before regular dimensional faucet standards...that's vintage 1910 to 1930...wall-mount...not for a sink.
Thanks Chigg
Bathtub fixture
Good thing Garrett allowed 1 if the best to test it first hope they put something in that hand to help that part float a bit better and even a spot to attach the teather and lastly a slight bit of moisture protection for the speaker
Love the excitement of every treasure find! esp detector, !! Thanku
Your video is so sharp and clear. Nice!
(Scarse?) nice, I shall use that one, a mix of sparse and scarce, awesome 😂.
Always enjoy another Aquachigger Adventure. Thanks for sharing a bit about the Vortex.
These are my favorite videos from you!
The last brass object was a set of wall mounted bath or basin taps. The spout was in tact , the spout and the hot and cold controls would be mounted horizontally, I would say from a more wealthy house owner/property. I'm a gas engineer/plumber in the UK. I fit taps like that all the time.
Thanks for sharing. Enjoy watching your videos.
Beau you could fit a float onto the area between the screen and wrist grip.
I am looking at my fishing landing net, and it has a green wrap around float on the pole to stop it sinking, which would fit perfectly.
They are on Ebay UK so i imagine available in the US as well for less than £10.
That and a tether would work well together.
Just a thought and an option 👍
Great to watch your excitement!
Have FUN Beau!!
Nice water hunt nice machine nice finds thanks for posting.
I really enjoyed the video...I started watching you when you were in the UK River Hunting...😄
I havent heard of a votex until now. Def have to check it out.
Great man ! Always good . 👍🏻
Love your work Bo keep up the great work!
I'm 71 and have been trying to save up for one so I can get more exercise but it seems like when I get some saved something or someone comes up needing donations, such as family needs & the flooded areas after Helene. Maybe next year. Great finds, keep up the good work!
Plenty of nice used machines for sale. I’ve found a Teknetics T2 for $200 and a Garrett AT Max for $350. Both used and both fantastic machines.
@@JohnTraeKing WHERE?
@@JohnTraeKing I might be able to handle 200.00 but Christmas is coming soon and I have 12 grand children, lol.
Best wishes out there. Good selection of finds coming up. Happy hunting!
Nother good one Chigg,Thanks.
Fun video
Thanks so much for the very generous donation!
Nice finds today.
Enjoyed today's adventure, thanks❤
Awesome hunt , I don't think I rem ever seeing that one really large bullet . nice new detector
You're awesome.
Thanks.
Cut a Pool Noodle and put it on the stem between the arm cuff and handle and a short length below.. Good finds with the new Vortex.
I've heard a lot of good reports about the Vortex from the UK folks.
Nice bullet finds!
Would it be worth suggesting a high density foam sleeve for either below or even above the head unit, that should make the Vortex more buoyant, it could also double as padding for the arm section.
Done great the detector that is
Good evening from Southeast South Dakota
It is a faucet bathtub or vintage sink
Seems weird watching Chigg swing a blue detector. Tot Lots rule😁👍🏼
I have been wanting to get one of the new Garrett detectors!
Chigg that is a wall-mount bath tub faucet with the hot and cold valve on both sides @16:09
17:17 Spider!!!!!
That is indeed 100% an old faucet. I have found a few 69 cal round balls but never have been fortunate enough to find a 69 cal Minie ball. Awesome hunt !!!
16:22 Faucet Beau 100% old
The last piece is 100% bathtub fill spout with hot and cold valves and water line still attached. Hold it horizontally
How is the vortexcompared to the at pro/ atmax?
Hose spigot and set of taps were those two things.
Vortex 👍
6th like, it rained here, but not heavy rain, more like light rain
If you put a piece of foam pipe insulation that about 4 inches long on the shaft at the top it won't sink
Checking in. Adult beverage was already waiting! Show/Beau Time!
I hope you enjoy!
@@aquachigger As always. Thanks.
Hiya Chigg!
Hiya
Got to be careful and look carefully because it might be really SKARS. 😅😂 sorry you made me crack up laughing I talk like that, trying too make up new words as I go along
👊🤩👍
If that Vortex is a prototype then have them mold a loop on the shaft or the handle or the head to attach a bungee cord to keep it from sinking or floating away.
Impressive discrimination on that Vortex prototype, most detectors would blend the pocket knife and wheat penny.

Enlarge the speaker holes and provide a non glare display.
If you ever back in the UK Chigg, I have access to 4 permissions that have yeald hammered roman, even roman silver, the local area had a castle in the 1700s, it's in East Anglia, look it up Chigg, the Roman's the vikings, the Norman's, the civil war between the Nor and the Su factions, these permissions are on the border of north and south, also the oldest concrete bridge in the UK, i suspect the remains of a much older brige have been omitted from the information plaque on the existing bridge. River underneath, 1-2ft deep in the summer. Love the channel, not your caving videos though 😂, they give me the heebee jeebees 😂
I believe it's another one of them candle wick thingy things that you spit on that never works cause you spit on it... Where's my Chill Bill when I need him... God Bless you Bradley..
It's not going to be the same without You!!! But you'll be back before we know it...🙏
Looks like an old bath mixer tap (faucet in Americano)
Not 1st!
but here... thanks for watching
You really make Garret Detectors proud!
Yes he does! We love Chigg
If It Has a Good Beep It Comeing Out 😁👌👍✌
Nice job with the Vortex Beau 6 x three ringers👍 How do you like it? I had a play with it at the RCM that you weren't at 😅Maybe next year?
Hey Chigg
Faucet fitting
chigg that was a vannatiy water line faucest
part of a flame thrower lol
It’s about time an American reviews this machine other then foreigners
to me it looked like a bath tub faucet with flare fittings
I think Garrett may have cracked the code with that machine and the price is right. I used to be a Garrett guy but switched years ago to XP and Minelab but I think I’ll give it a try once they get the bugs out
38th! Oh wait.
Thanks Chig
♥
Bath tub faucet?
Fork spring for a bike?
That metal detector looks really cool
Tub spout
Could that wheat penny be a tie bar?
Bathtub faucet
Fitting to a bathtub
Wanted to know which headphones you’re using, and are they submersible?
They are fully submersible and come with the detector.
Thanks for your reply, I recently bought the VX nine, and unfortunately it did not come with any headphones. Thanks again.
Slap sink faucet
Cut a kid floaty and install on the shaft, and it will float, the cuff will float, and coil will hold it down in the water.
2nd
Both commented at the same second. We will see
@CHAD-RYAN You show up as my first comment. It was very close though!
@@raynin its was extemely close. But i have a new techinque that shaves half a second off my comment. Its top secret
Donnie Village
Be cool to know the history of what went on there
Love your videos. New Garrett is nice, I want one.
That was a bathtub spigit.
Bo Burgs
Looks like an old faucet for a tub
First!!
Oh forgot! Semper FI
Bath tub taps...
Your neck of the woods will have all these civil war bullets.
Another gift from Asia,,, Spotted Lantern Flies..👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼
why are they so bad?
They're EVERYWHERE right now where I am.
Everyone believes they are getting us through espionage operations and tech intelligence...but really it is spotted fly.
Yes, and very invasive. not native to USA
@@Lornharding..They kill the trees….We have loads of them here in PA…..
You've told us more than once that you would do update videos on Bobby Wobs... It's been so long.... Does Bobby Wobs still exist?!?
She is fine and I have showed her in videos from time to time. thanks
He's showed him quite a few times when he shows any kittens they get. He's a mature cat now.
Nice video, very clear but the Vortex tones are ABSOLUTELY HORRIFYING
Not very impressed with what I’ve seen on the Vortex so far. When they get the finished product into the hands of more non Garret loyal users and there are significant finds in difficult iron situations , with finds in greater depths. Then I might change my opinion. With all that said, I still enjoy your videos. 😊
old faucet.
