Our proprietary goldfields database — soil profiles, depth data, and the recommended Garrett detector for every region. Click any pin.
East and Southern Africa hold some of the world's most productive gold belts. Kenya's Western Province (Vihiga, Narok), Zambia's Copperbelt & North-Western Province, and Tanzania's Lake Victoria fields all share a single defining characteristic: heavy mineralisation. The Garrett Axiom Pulse Induction detector is engineered specifically for this terrain — the only realistic option for serious depth on Africa's mineralised soils.
For shallow fine alluvial flake — primarily in Kenya's western creek beds — the Garrett Goldmaster 24K (48 kHz VLF) is the budget-friendly companion tool. Most professional prospectors run both detectors in rotation depending on the day's terrain.
