Popular Post Gerry in Idaho Posted January 3 Popular Post Share Posted January 3 Sorry for the long read, but I have a passion and those who have been on here for years know. You've probably heard the fantastic and smart news by now about Garrett Metal Detectors # 1 performing Prosecting Detector, the Axiom Garrett just made a high stakes poker move in the Pulse Induction detector market (very wise move in my opinion) and we the general public get to benefit. We get NEW pricing on the high performance pulse induction gold Prospecting - Beach detector from Garrett Electronics, the Axiom. Yes, it's true, Garrett just played the Axiom Lite $1000 (from $2999 to $1999) to help folks get started for 2025 Prospecting Season. They also set the value of the deluxe package from $3999 to $2999. This provided us two different package options and investment points to stay withing different folks budget. This new improved advanced technology detector is more than just a housing redo of the popular but heavy ATX. It's really a completely new detector. Some of what I'm impressed with., the Axiom comes with features and capabilities my GPX-6000 and GPZ-7000 do not provide. Garrett Electronics, an American company providing products with Service Center and Customer Support right here in USA. Most Americans have values and know what they stand for. It sure is nice to see the American flag on a detector since the last 20 yrs has seen so many companies coming into US from outside. I'm not knocking any of the technologies from the other manufactures, since I use them. But when issues do arise, I can tell you for a fact, some of the outside US companies have more issues via maybe repairs delays, parts are not available, and my biggest complaint, getting someone to answer their phone. I'm not going to go into fine details of all the capabilities as there's plenty of info on their site and also videos out there. You have many options of where to purchase an Axiom detector, but I will give you a heads up, not all options have the same Customer Service after the sale. One of the biggest things you will find out about most Sellers, is that they have not actually found any gold with an Axiom and then a few dealers have found s few. To me, that's the old saying "they can talk the talk, but can't walk the talk" of how their success in varying situations and soils and states with an Axiom. I was one of the original Field Testers (when it comes to dealers) who had hands on early prototypes in the Field. Since then, my different Field Staff members have been using the Axiom with great success in 5 different US states (NV, ID, CA, AZ, and OR.), with me personally being successful swinging an Axiom in 4 states. Now that may not mean much to you, but it tells you that we're trying our best to known as much as we can with the Axiom to answer our customers questions if they're in the field and also to help them become Successful with their Axiom purchase. As a US Veteran myself, I also take price in offering a Military Discount to those who have served our great country. I want to make another point clear about where to purchase from. I've been a multi line detector dealer for 30 years of my near 50 yrs of swinging detectors. I have build relationships with some of my dealer friends over that time and in fact, a few of my own customers in those 30 years have become dealers. So, if you already have your favorite dealer, then reach out to them 1st. But if you're new to the Gold Nugget game, or like working with a Veteran who offers Military Discount, or realizing the importance of a potential 3 Days Field Training (optional), then I'm here. Heck, you're last detector purchase, you may not have been happy with the dealer after the sale? Then why not give me a try. As mentioned above, one of the other benefits here at Gerry's Detectors is the option for the 3 Days of Field Training at Rye Patch NV. Sure, there is a cost, but my customers can sign up to attend a 3 day camping trip with like minded people to share knowledge, learn from others, build confidence in ones detector and listen to targets with a variety of detector models, all while being with Professional Nugget Hunters., at a substantial discount. Our next class will be April 18th. - 20th., so please be sure to mention getting your name on the list as the slots are limited. The good thing is that my Field Staff own their own Axioms and we know them well at finding gold. You may have seen posted on DP and or other social media platforms, some of my Field Team and I recently at the Garrett Gold Challenge in California recently (Nov. 2024) and the shining success. We know gold detector and not just Garrett. Heck, I personally own Minelab GPZ-7000, GPX-6000 and many other detectors as do my Field Staff. We treat the detectors as tools to help us learn which models can do what. This allows my Team/I to know which machine will provide us best Success at the task as each model out there has their Pros/Cons. Thats were the knowledge starts to shine through with more gold going home in not just our, but also my customers pockets. See the pics of Success below to get an idea of the Axioms capabilities. With the price of gold at $2600+ an ounce and a recent $2800, getting one of these detectors for $1999 (no sales tax or shipping) is a bargain of a way to start your new passion and step up from that VLF detector or old PI. Again, if Veteran, you are eligible for an additional savings discount. Contact Gerry's Detectors today at 208-345-8898 (yes this is my 25+ yr old landline business number. Sorry, no text). 17 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/27406-garrett-axiom-lite-1999-authorized-dealer-who-tested-it-pictures-of-recovered-ounces-of-gold/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lead Detector Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 My question is.... is this a temporary sale price, or the new regular price?

As the full notice in the main thread on the subject indicates, it is a price decrease, not a sale. https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/27397-wow-axiom-drops-1000-for-2025/ "Effective immediately, both the Axiom and Axiom Lite detector packages have reduced MSRP and MAP for 2025." 6 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/27406-garrett-axiom-lite-1999-authorized-dealer-who-tested-it-pictures-of-recovered-ounces-of-gold/#findComment-287891 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridge Runner Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Gerry Correct me if I’m wrong but if you are a vet of any branch of the service you can get the 15% discount off of any Axiom? Take the Axiom Lite for 1999.00 less the 15% comes to 1699.15 plus shipped free to my door. It’s going to take a lot less gold to pay for it and in no way am I restricted just to nugget hunt with it . Oh don’t forget that warranty that comes with it. That’s like gold in your hand if you have a problem with your Axiom.

Popular Post Jeff McClendon Posted January 28 Popular Post Share Posted January 28 Axiom is awesome and will hit a wide size range of targets with ease and with good depth. Handles most hot rocks well and is effortless to swing using the 11X7” coils. That’s a 0.08 gram nugget found with the Axiom last week in Arizona and a lot of those other targets weigh even less. 10 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/27406-garrett-axiom-lite-1999-authorized-dealer-who-tested-it-pictures-of-recovered-ounces-of-gold/#findComment-289793 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridge Runner Posted Wednesday at 04:50 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 04:50 PM I’ll call it a odd thing and that is I can buy the Axiom lite cheaper than I can the ATX . That’s with are without the vet discount. Yes I know the ATX is waterproof but as you know sugar melts and I’m not about to get wet. Who knows just maybe one day Garrett will see the need to make a Axiom lite waterproof.

And truth is the new multis have all but killed off PI beach detectors, so don't hold your breath for a waterproof Axiom.

Ridge Runner Posted Wednesday at 07:50 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 07:50 PM My thinking if Garrett could drop the price on the Axiom like they did then why not a little on the ATX. I well understand Steve the cost of producing something is definitely affecting that product when it hits the market. That’s what you call profit and loss. How much profit you want to make are how much loss you can afford to take. You won’t find any company in business for their health. When your loss exceeds your profit you close your doors. I know I’ve been there.
