Advanced Metal Detectors

Built for serious detectorists, these high-performance Garrett metal detectors deliver the control, technology, and capability needed for demanding relic, coin, jewelry, beach, and gold-prospecting hunts.

Advanced Detecting

Choose Technology for the Ground and the Target.

Advanced detectorists often choose a machine around the specific demands of a hunt: target separation, mineralization, salt conditions, target information, specialized gold prospecting, or the ability to tune detector behavior more precisely.

Choosing the Right Detector for Advanced Hunting

Don't Forget Your Pinpointer.

On difficult sites and high-value targets, precise recovery helps reduce unnecessary digging and gets your detector back over the ground faster.

Quick Answers

Advanced Metal Detector FAQ

What's the difference between the Axiom and Axiom Lite?
Axiom Lite provides the Axiom pulse-induction platform in a more economical package with fewer included accessories. Choose the package based on the field equipment and accessories you already own or expect to need.
Is pulse induction or multi-frequency better for gold prospecting?
It depends on the ground conditions and the gold you are targeting. Pulse induction can be especially valuable in severe mineralization and dedicated prospecting environments, while multi-frequency technology offers greater versatility for mixed-use detecting.
How does ground mineralization affect advanced detectors?
Mineralized soil can create its own response and make targets harder to interpret. Advanced ground-handling tools help the detector remain stable and preserve useful target information as conditions change.
What's an eddy current, and why does it matter for target ID?
A detector's electromagnetic field induces electrical currents in a conductive target. The response created by those currents contributes to the information the detector uses to signal and identify a target beneath the searchcoil.
