Frequently asked

Field-tested answers from our engineering team.

What is the price of the Garrett Gold Master 24K in Kenya?

KES 135,000 from Garrett Africa, the official authorised distributor. Includes warranty and free Nairobi delivery.

What is the difference between Garrett Axiom Lite and Garrett Axiom?

Both run the identical Ultra-Pulse PI engine — same depth, same ground balance. The Axiom Lite (KES 550,000) ships with one 11×7″ Mono coil. The Axiom (KES 690,000) adds a 13×11″ DD coil and MS-3 Z-Lynk wireless headphones.

Where can I buy a Garrett gold detector in Zambia?

Garrett Africa is the official Garrett distributor in Zambia. Contact us on WhatsApp +260 974 309 875 or email garrettafrica@gmail.com.

Which Garrett detector is best for Kenyan soils?

For Kenya's iron-rich clay soils, the Garrett Gold Master 24K (48 kHz VLF) excels at finding fine alluvial gold common in Western Kenya. For deep lode targets the Axiom (PI) is recommended.

Is the Garrett Axiom good for Zambia gold mining?

Yes. The Garrett Axiom is the top choice for Zambia's Copperbelt and North-Western goldfields. Its Pulse Induction technology handles heavy mineralisation that VLF detectors can't cope with.

How long does the Garrett Axiom battery last?

Built-in Li-Ion battery lasting 16+ hours per charge via USB-C. The included AA backup pack adds 6 hours, giving 22 hours total field time.

Do you ship internationally?

Yes — primary coverage is Kenya, Zambia and Tanzania with 1-5 day delivery. We also ship to Uganda, Rwanda, Ethiopia, Somalia, and DR Congo on request.

What payment methods do you accept?

M-Pesa, Airtel Money, bank transfer, Visa/Mastercard, and cash on collection. All Kenya orders can pay via M-Pesa STK Push.
