Garrett Metal Detectors

After years of success with his trusty AT Max, Troy A. picked up the VX9 and has made it his primary machine. On a recent hunt at an 1882 home, the VX9 hit a deep, repeating 75 signals. Seven inches down was his oldest silver coin yet... an 1854 Seated Liberty dime!

He writes, “The surprises didn’t stop there. A 1943-P silver war nickel also came out of the same yard that had already produced silver dimes, Indian Head pennies, tokens, and relics over the years. The VX9 is proving to be an absolute silver magnet, and if this hunt is any indication, 2026 is going to be a great year for silver.”
