Matt thanks for putting all those together 👍 Bit of knowledge / experience amongst the group out at Tib Ba Booo Roo 😂🤣🤣🤣 Can't say I agree on the iron check and walking away guaranteed that it's not a gold nugget. For my money at best it possibly means a gold nugget that is giving same signal as previous ferrous target that iron check was set on :rolleyes: I'd like to follow along behind and dig them ;)
Unit looks promising. For me a few cons I have are the inbuilt battery and also feel that the lead going to back of screen being very exposed to catching and damage may become an issue in long term use. Dealer network in Oz hopefully also will increase if popularity of this machine takes off👍

There is a lot of very useful information on the DP forum.
Yes but that is US based I believe ? No problem finding details on features and specs on machine, but more interested in how they go being used in Oz conditions. I believe previous model Garrett go pretty well in US but did not have same results here in Oz?

There are quite a few Australians on DP too, some of them members here as well.

Do not know what result previous Garrett PI prospecting detectors had in US.
I purchased a used Infinium LS from a bloke in Kalgoorlie and used it at a do in Coolgardie in 2007.
Infinium LS is also waterproof, used it a lot at TNQ beaches.

It's rather difficult to take Mr Paxton's opinions seriously when he leads off his description of the Axiom with this overblown nonsense:

"A complete from the ground up redesign of pure pulse induction technology in a package unlike anything that had ever been seen before in the gold prospecting niche of our hobby. Gone were the bulky rigs that required harnesses to swing them and car-size batteries to supply power. No more annoying knobs and confusing settings. What Garrett delivered was a genuinely new and yes, I’m going to say it, exciting metal detector. The first pictures of the Axiom looked like something out of the space age."

I agree that the Axiom looks great, but his claim that it's, "a complete ground up redesign of pure pulse induction technology in a package unlike anything that had ever been seen before in the gold prospecting niche of our hobby", is simply untrue. Has Mr Paxton never seen Garrett's own decade-old ATX or Minelab's SDC and GPX6000? It certainly seems that way when he goes on to say, "Gone were the bulky rigs that required harnesses to swing them and car-size batteries to supply power. No more annoying knobs and confusing settings".
 
Yes I think it's more of catch up rather than unprecedented would be more honest a statement. Will certainly be watching it's results achieved in Oz. There close but just not got my dollars as yet 🤔

If you have any friends with an Axiom, perhaps you could ask if you could have a go with it.
Or if you visit my neighbourhood, you can have a go with mine.
Nothing better than first hand experience.

We are Slowly selling them , its going to take a while to get more reports of how good this detector is. So far utube clips show indicate its very sensitive to tiny bits of gold. Now we just need a few big finds with it.

Have you considered a demo day somewhere like Wattle Flat/Hill End or similar.
I think there'd be some good interest if it was planned with good notice.
 
Being in Wollongong its not so easy(all we have is the beach), but we have Been there done that,(With Garrett and Minelab back near 10 years now), things have changed somewhat these days. With this detector, Garrett is busy getting as much video footage of it in use and what it finds. We need things to change before we can go do another demo day. Its a big health and financial investment on our part to do this these days. For the moment the best we can do is offer discounts. Always hopeful tho. Cheers. Lee.
