Garrett Axiom vs Axiom Lite — Which to Buy?

Both run the same Ultra-Pulse engine. The KES 140,000 price difference comes down to coils and accessories. Here’s what you actually get for the extra.

What’s identical

• Same Pulse Induction control box
• Same 21 PI modes
• Same ground balance algorithm
• Same depth performance on identical targets

What’s different

Buy Lite if…

• You already own a different DD coil from another detector
• You’re prospecting one specific area
• You want to spend the savings on a generator or pickup

Buy Axiom if…

• You’re moving between sites (the DD coil covers more ground)
• You want zero-cable freedom from wireless headphones
• You’ll be carrying it in vehicles — the hard case justifies itself in 6 months of dust + rain

The real answer

For 80% of buyers we ship to: Axiom. The 2-coil setup pays for itself the first time you switch from open-field detecting (DD) to confirming a small target (Mono) without packing up to swap.
