Thanks for posting this Ralph. There are few videos out there right now on this machine and it is nice to see it in the hands of someone who, will give an unbiased honest opinion on the machine. I already have one on order, and am looking forward to trying it out myself.
You bet. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Thank you Chris for showing the metal detector I Like the program updates that is central for patches and repairs on running software.🤠⛏
It is a good feature.
I love the review on the Axiom! I can’t wait to get one!
Hope you enjoy it!
Your a man of your word. And it does sound pretty good.
Its a good detector. Not cheap, but a good product.
I would love to get one of those detectors. Digging up hot rocks is maddening! I can't wait to start my adventure!!
Good luck in your efforts.
Thank you so much! I plan to head out by my cousins one day in Arizona! How much are these detectors? I have been in love with rockhounding for many years. It's my dream to have an RV and travel the country detecting and crystal hunting! I would love this detector because of the hotrock elimination and the wireless rechargeable detector.I think it's the best thing since ice cream!I love. Ice cream!I wonder how hard it would be to have a company like this sponsor me.I really want to start my own channel doing all of this too!
Looking forward to your next two Axiom Video's. Still waiting to get these Axioms in stock.

Thanks, they are coming soon!
I love your book!
Thanks much.
Nice video! Keep it coming. I’m dying to try stuff I’ve learned from you.
Glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Still waiting for our axiom to be delivered 🙏 It will definitely get me out detecting more being so comfortable and light well balanced, we sold our sdc2300 to put the $ twords this purchase. The sdc gets tough to swing after not very long in the field and it's external speaker is weak.
OK.
I picked mine up Saturday our local Prospecting store ordered it for me A&B Prospecting in Prescott Valley
Lol I just realized that it was you I replied to. I stay up way too late watching youtube

I enjoyed this white board episode of an introduction to Garrett's new Axiom Pulse Induction nugget detector, a state of the art detector. Normally with other products the price increases after a pre order window closes. The pre order price is usually less by 20%-30%. This is what I have experienced.
The 4K price is 100% of the dealer recommended price range. I do expect that eventually it will come down but that is my guess.
@@ChrisRalph I have an Axiom on order, my understanding of the price is the $3995 is the MAP price (the lowest a dealer is allowed to advertise the product) the MSRP price is $4700. Some retailers are already charging $4500 for pre order so it pays to shop around. The price very well might go down in a year, especially if a person negotiates in person with a dealer. As for now though, $3995 is the best price available. It is a good package for the price with 2 coils included, and in my opinion is the best value for money out there at the moment, for what appears to be a very capable PI machine.
That LCD screwen is very similar to my Garrett Apex also has the same charging system and headphones.
I knew the headphones were the same....
The screen is similar im sure this detecter has alot more features buiklt into the screen.@@ChrisRalph
Hi Chris, loved the video.
I just contacted garret and they don't know when they'll have the Axiom. No one has it for sale.
Here's my story, and I hope you or anyone reading can help.
Over 30 years ago I hit gold with my dozer putting in my road to the creek. I blew it off at the time thinking it was pyrite, it was not I found out a year later.
We had extremely heavy rains here on the Georgetown divide above Garden valley Ca near Bear Creek, the creek directly below the spot where I hit gold, had several raw pieces of gold, these were new and unwashed because I had just mined the creek.
Years went by and I finally bought a new 580N backhoe to dig up the vein, but it could be down as deep as 5' or more, but I know the exact spot to this day.
In the mean time I've been diagnosed with cancer and time is quickly running out, I have maybe a few months of good days left, so I'd really like to move on this.
I think this would make for a great video in a real world test of the Axiom.
I'm Tom, so if you, or anyone wants to take a crack at this and you have the right equipment, let me know
Sorry I can't help with your project, just too much going on in my life. They are still fiddling with the programming on the Axiom, but that is good, its becoming a better detector in the process.
@@ChrisRalph
Thanks Chris.
I'd buy it but I won't be around by the time they release it.
I'm hoping others in my area might be interested in taking a shot at it.
I started digging it out, but I'll have to wait for rain, the road is like solid rock after 3 decades. Kind of surprised me.🙂
What coil was used on the Axiom that got more depth on larger targets than the GPX6000? Is this detector also more sensitive than the ATX with its great ground handling capabilities?
Thank You Chris for doing great job on the Axiom video!
If you will listen to the video, I was comparing the Axiom to the SDC 2300, not the 6000.
In a year I paid for my Gold Monster 1000, I wonder if that's possible with this machine. BTW, I find you book most helpful, thanks.
It depends on how often you prospect.....
Hello Chris, Nice introduction to the Axiom. I have found a 1 dwt nugget down about 12" or better with the 7k using the stock coil. At what depth do you think the Axiom would be able to hear the same size. I know ground conditions and settings are all viable variables to consider. Just with what you've seen... a best guess would work. Guess I can't wait for the field tests you mentioned 🙂 Been using the 7k and the GM1k .. Thinking of adding something between the 2 and the Axiom might fit the bill. Thanks
Its not going to punch deeper than the 7000, but its a heck of a lot cheaper. There are so many variables, to give a number is almost meaningless. If you let me choose all the variables, I can get whatever results you like.
@@ChrisRalph Understandable.... Thank you for the response. A while back I picked up a NF Z-Search coil for the 7000 which helps on the overall weight and I still got a few good years in me to handle it.
Looks good !!!!
Thanks much. Back from your trip?
@@ChrisRalph not yet
looks like a good detector !!!!!
Thanks Chris for another well detailed video I appreciate it, so I just got the axiom on Saturday haven't taken it out yet and I'm not finding much information about if it's waterproof. I did see that it's rainproof. So that being said Obviously you don't want to dunk the head unit underwater but how much rain can it take if it's pouring out is that gonna be OK you know I wish I could get a clear answer on that and what about the coils are they waterproof or only rainproof thanks for any info you can get me
The coils are waterproof. In a super heavy rain (if that is how you want to work) most guys will put a clear plastic bag over the control box to keep the bulk of the rain off the box.
@@ChrisRalph OK same as I've done with my Gold Monster1000, And yes who doesn't work in that kind of rain come on, Rain sleet snow AZ summer, lol I can't get enough. I started prospecting last January so going on a year I love this hobby. With great video by yourself and a few select others I've learned so much. Thanks for your great knowledge and honest insight. Reason I say a few select others it's because unlike yourself most of what I find online is like watching the news fabricated for monetary gain.
Overall how does this detector compare with the 6000? Great review looking forward to the next one.
In tiny gold it will not see the tiniest stuff the 6000 can see. On bits a bit bigger, it will detect down deeper than the 6000 can see.
Woow!
Gold in the midwest? Is it possible to purchase 1 trial issue of the ICM Prospecting and Mining magazine? If so, where can we purchase a copy? Thanks for your intro to the Axiom. Loos like a great tool.Thank you.
Look up the ICMJ with Google and give them a call.

This quote was in the comments not in the video.
No, I was talking about the 2300 - listen to the video.
Hi Chris, thank you for sharing and covering the new Axiom detector.
Chris, I do have a question for you, will the Axiom detector come with a spare replaceable battery battery. Respectfully, dd
No the Lithium battery is internal and not user replaceable. However, there is an attachment that will allow you to run the detector off AA batteries. The lithium batteries also run for a couple days off a charge.
@@ChrisRalph Thank you Chris for your quick reply.
I remembered in your video that you mention that the lithium batteries would run for a couple of days which I though was pretty awesome, and I got to thinking if a person is prospecting and camping out in the wilds for several days that an extra battery or two would come in pretty handy if you forgot and left your battery charging cable home. Thank you again for sharing and will be looking forward for your next 2 videos on the Axiom detector. Respectfully, dd
@@dewfew1 The option to run off the AA booster pack is a nice feature. The Axiom also comes with an alligator setup to recharge off your vehicle battery if you need to, and I know I will be keeping that setup in my truck, just in case... no reason to keep it anywhere else.
@@joetuktyyuktuk8635 Thank you Joe, that is a very good idea. I had no idea that you could even do that. Thank you for sharing a great idea. Respectfully dd
Do you think that Garrett utilized Whites TDI technology to develop this machine? And if so, do you think that those other mono pulse coils would properly work with it?
No, its not the same as the TDI or even similar to it. And no, the TDI coils wont work with it.
Hello Chris! In your opinion do you like the mine lab gold monster or the Garrett Axiom?
They are two very different detectors. Its like asking which is better a hammer or a screwdriver. I like and use both detectors the same way I use both screwdrivers and hammers depending on what I am trying to do..
Hi, I was hoping for some advice. I've been asked to bring some gold detectors to some people in the jungle. They want it mainly for nuggets and lost treasure in the form of gold bars. I was thinking of getting the Axiom and maybe one other less expensive variety, like a Gold Bug 2 maybe. Water resistance is really important, I understand that the Axiom is rainproof but not the Gold Bug 2. It's a remote location so durability is key. Do you have any suggestions? Any help would be much appreciated.
There is a lot to that question and a lot more information than you gave me to decide. I'd suggest you watch this video I did on choosing a detector: ua-cam.com/video/EF4oFvSHbJo/v-deo.html
beautiful, thanks...will do!
Hi Chris how does the garret axiom compare to gpx6000 and gpz7000
Leigh
I don't own a 6000, so I cant talk about that. The Axiom is different from the 7000, the Axiom does not go as deep on small stuff, but has some discrimination and is half the cost of the 7000.
Thank you for the info video! If i was a good prospector meaning if went often and found gold , im sure id purchase one. I love the 24k i have but you cant find gold if you dont go. Mabe im more of armchair adventurist?
Hang in there and keep trying. Nugget detecting is difficult and takes awhile to get the hang of it. Stick with the 24K and keep working at it.
@@ChrisRalph thanks Chris . I'll keep your words forfront abd center as best i can. Getting older now (63) and have time for self evaluation. More time to get out . Its different.
How does this machine compare to the ATX?.. Would you please make a video comparing the two?.. Thanks!
Two totally different machines. ATX is huge and heavy. ATX has issues with ground and hot rocks if you use the smaller coil. ATX is designed for treasure hunting and secondarily it can be used for gold, but its not a good choice based on my experience. Very few prospectors use the ATX, I expect that in the future, many will use the Axiom. I no longer have access to the ATX, so no video is coming.
What is your opinion of the garrett atx and comparison to the axiom
They are two very different machines - like comparing apples to donuts.
Three weeks ago you said the Axiom will see bigger gold deeper than the 6000, what coil size on the Axiom is it that goes deeper than the 6000?
Listen carefully to the video and you will hear that I NEVER mention the 6000. I was talking about the 2300.
How is it vs the atx .. I have atx for hunting deeper ground but always looking for upgraded versions
The Axiom is way more resistant to hot rocks and mineralization. The ATX is a general machine and not really focused on gold. The Axiom is a much, much better gold nugget detector. The axiom is light, the ATX is heavy but also water proof.
Can u give an opinion about using the Axiom in southern Oregon?
Look, southern Oregon is a big place and I have not taken the detector to Oregon, plus I have no idea of your level of experience. SO its impossible for me to say if it will work for you. Talk with you local detector dealer.
Do you think the Fisher Pulse AQ would work looking for gold and meteorites in Gold Basin AZ?
The impulse AQ is a fine beach machine for coins and jewelry. Its not really a good detector for gold.
@@ChrisRalph Okay, I can either use a Whites TDI Beach Hunter Pulse machine or an XP Deus. Which would you recommend for Gold Basin?
Does it have a GPS mapping feature? Depth indicator?
Coins are all standard sizes so depth indication is no problem. Gold comes in all different shapes and sizes from tiny to gigantic, so no gold oriented detector has a depth indication. it does not have a GPS mapping feature.
It’s already on sale at serious detecting
OK, I knew that would change after the filming.
A lot of the features on the Axiom are also on The Equinox 800 I just bought. Wireless headphones USB charger And it's PI . I still haven't had time to take it and learn how to use it yet. Your book is great .
The Equinox is not a PI - it is a VLF machine. Excellent discrimination, but much more sensitive to hot rocks and mineralized ground.
The Equinox 800 used to be a VLF type not PI. Did something change?
@@ChrisRalph Well now I really feel dumb, I could sworn I read it was PI and that's why I bought it but thanks for setting me straight.
@@leeskillings2172 The Equinox 800 is still a very good machine, and is my choice for a multipurpose, multi-frequency detector.
@@joetuktyyuktuk8635 Thank you I'm still looking forward to getting out there.
me and some friends think that we found gold close to north branch michigan, is it possible sir, we tried all of the you tube texts we could find, it is all in ore form if I am correct, there used to be a creek through the property, is it possible?
I have no idea.
when I find gold consistently with my gold monster I will get a PI been looking at the 6000 have a good day
Makes sense that when you can consistently find gold with the GM that you set up to a PI.
Could the make a vlf that turn off and on automaticly.
not sure what you mean.
Thanks for the info. I'd like to buy a couple of natural gold nuggets. Where is the best place to buy a couple small ~1 gram nuggets?
Thanks,
Mik
Look at Goldbay.com
@@ChrisRalph Thank you!
Hi everybody!
I am looking for a PI machine, because it would be deeper than a VLF machine, Right?.
But the Problem is, it should be „light“ and good balanced and for a General purpose (because I think there is not a lot gold to be prospected in Spain).
Could please anyone recommend me a PI detector for this purpose?.
Thx 🙏 in Advance!
Health & Luck
They are also more expensive. VLF are generally best for general purpose. Look at my video on how deep will your detector go.
@@ChrisRalph Thx!
Hi Chris, Is this detector waterproof? Thanks
The coil and shaft are waterproof, but the control box and the electronics are not.
Nothing beats my Garrett ATX…
So you are saying that the Garrett engineers are incapable of designing better and better products as time goes by? I bet they'd be offended by that.
The suns active with large sunspots with active CMEs earthwards I wonder how much this would interfere with gold detecting
Not at all.
Has this been tested ?
I wonder
Given its price tag, I'll have to find a couple of ounces or so with my GM1000 before I could even consider this one.
Th GM1000 is a good detector to learn with. Keep at it.
Is this device like monster gold in raw gold or gold veins
In what sense do you mean?
@@ChrisRalph I mean is the Garrett device a gold beast in the tool
@@karimrazak3798 If you are asking, if it will detect gold in a quartz material, if it is in the machines detection range... size of gold, distance to target etc. Then yes it can. But, then again lots of machines can do that, the difference with this machine is it is loaded with features and represents in my opinion a good value for the money for those looking for a PI machine.
Weight and foldable size as opposed to the 6000?
Neither detector "folds" (the SDC 2300 does fold). The collapsed length of the 6000 is 26.5 inches, the collapsed length of the Axiom is 25 inches. Both weigh about 4.6 pounds. Virtually the same for both.
@@ChrisRalph Thanks for the info.
I love all three of my Axioms. They've found over 3x their price in gold. Far more... They beat the GPX6000 and SDC2300 by a large margin.. From sensitivity and depth, to very impressive ground balance.
And for nuggets under an ounce, beats the the GPZ7000. Over an ounce, GPZ might sense deeper. But only if the ground chaos has been controlled. 😉
The Axiom is a good detector.
@@ChrisRalph it really is. With that said, I'd still love a GPZ7000 and a modded GPX5000 with a 32" coil in my arsenal though 😈. I have a few ranches I lease with quartz float that is scattered everywhere. One of them right by the Harvard mine has some of it over 6' deep according to what we found with a dozer cut, so it probably runs quite a bit deeper.
I got an Equinox 900 a couple weeks ago and it's a nice companion to the Axiom for trashy tailing piles. I definitely like the 900 better than my gold monster 1000 & it finds gold about as small.
I also run a couple 24ks but I'm about to pull the trigger on a gold bug 2 now that they dropped the price.
I was warned about this when I first got into detecting, but I didn't get why I'd need multiple (not counting my carrot & Falcon pointers). But I get it now 😆.
If you're ever down in Calaveras County feel free to shoot me a message on IG VelliosInnovations or FB Nikko Vellios & I'll show you some bedrock you'll chain yourself to like an environmentalist extremist saving a tree, you'll never want to leave, so many hiding spots for gold 😍. Maybe we can film a how to hunt bedrock show together. Sniffing out the smallest hiding bedrock gold & tertiary / bench gravels are my bread & butter techniques. Trashy tailings & open pastures of large float are still something I'm learning how to efficiently work. Anyways, the bedrock spot is my private property. But we can also take my sled upriver & hit some unclaimed spots most people can't easily access.
Keep posting content, I definitely learned a lot from your channel when I was getting my feet wet. 🤙
Which one is better ..?
Garrett axiom..
Minelab Gpz 7000
GPZ 7000, but the 7000 is almost twice as expensive.
Would a metal detector be useful in Colorado
Yes, in some places nuggets are found with metal detectors.
For fun tell us when it would have paid for itself. 6 Months, Year, etc.
I understand hobbies cost money, (I have about 20 detectors already).
If I bought gold instead of detectors, I would have quite a stash of yellow stuff instead of a closet full of machines.
I will try to do that - I have a number of detectors and I use most of them regularly. So it would be different if I used my Axiom all the time, vs using it as one of several. The more hours of use the sooner it would be paid off.
Now released in Australia. Bet you can't find one!
Minelab is also that way in the first weeks after a new release in the US.
Will it be able to find coins also
Technically, it can find coins or other metal, but its designed for nuggets and there are other detectors better designed with detecting coins in mind.
@@ChrisRalph dam .. I ordered it hoping it could find deep coins .. in gold area where there was history in truckee Ca
Dear sir come to northen area pakistan we have lots of mining sides but lake of information and advance machines
Too many of your fellow countrymen hate Americans. Sorry, too dangerous.
@@ChrisRalph no dear sir we love Americans there are some bad people are in everywhere
@@ChrisRalph 😔
😍
Thanks.
@@ChrisRalph welcome dear sir god bless you
Garrett makes good detectors. But what use is the best detector if the gold is finely distributed inside the mountain. Even if there are 10 g/1000 kg in the rock, I need real mining to do it. 🤔
Its useful because gold nuggets exist. Places with tiny gold particles distributed through the rock as no good, but places with nuggets are good.
@@ChrisRalph Thanks for the answer. At my advanced age, I will probably never leave the gold-poor zone in which I live. :-( Good luck.
Sort of reminds me of the 5000 minelab smooth timings in a lighter box if it ignores hot rocks it will be a winner .i think its to expensive in Australia just under the gpx 6000 price i was told its around 7300 aussie dollars .needs to be around 5000 australian dollars , to get good sales.the gold is getting thin on the ground in Australia detector holes everywhere hundreds of gpx 4500 5000 on the used market lately and very cheap ,, imagine having that garrett in the 80,s and being the only guy ,you would make more money than a guy on wall street.
Yeah, I have heard that the Axiom in Australia is very close in price to a GPX 6000, which is too bad. It will have a hard time breaking into the market there, for that reason and the fact that Minelabs are definately the preferred option there anyway. I suspect the higher price might have more to do with import duties than anything else.
There were loads of dig holes in Australia when I was there 11 years ago..... I'm sure now only more.
@@ChrisRalph yes that's problem and every thing is under native title or the heritage act or on private land under a lease hold i just brought a cheap gold bug pro for coins i might give the gold away, i've found my far share but for the price of gas and little .2 gram finds are not worth the hassle,better to talk on the ham radio bands for my other hobby.if i see council works zip over it with the gold bug 2 jump back in the car after hours.All the state forests are getting closed of into national parks it's a big fight to keep them open .The green army are footloose.
Is it water proof??
It is rain proof, but cannot be submerged... the coils can be submerged but from what I have heard they are quite buoyant and only the smaller coils can be submerged in practice.
Joe is right - its not really waterproof - making a detector water proof adds a lot of weight. The coil and lower shaft can be submerged, but the control electronics cannot.
With a $4,000.00 price tag, I think it'll be a while before I can afford one!!!! 😭
Yep, they are not cheap...
Saleeban ahmed orshe my dear teacher will you tell me a price a wireless I ove that
You must find someone who sells these in your country.
why are PI machines $3,000 or $4,000 or more ???
Lots of Research and Engineering to develop, and not as many machines sold.
Hi garrett i will show practically find gold
What???
you can make a video in portuguese
Sorry, I do not speak Portuguese.
Is this a sponsored video?
no. Garrett paid me nothing.
$4,000.00 🤔
Yes, I said that in the video.
I must got a dud axiom cause it's the noisiest machine I've ever used. And the fine mode is unusable with noise. Can ground balance over a hot rock and in half swing it's screaming it's head off again. Not impressed as it's a 7k machine in Australia should went a gpx6000
I'd go back to the dealer and discuss it with him and see what the problem is. It should not do that.
lol "Thirty nine-ninety-five." No: that's FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS PLUS TAX
Just sayin....
Sure.
Hello, where can i possibly reach out. I am from Philippine's and found some unique stones. I think its nice to be done privately. Do you have email or other social media platforms could i go possibly? Pls.. Thanks
I get many requests everyday. Sorry, I cannot help.
@@ChrisRalph how about emails? Can i have ?
Garrett is a joke ! haha
You've not even touched this detector - I'm telling you its a good detector.
