The Garrett Axiom weighs 4.2 lbs with the 11" x 7" mono coil and 4.7 lbs with the 13" x 11" DD coil, making it the lightest pulse induction detector in its class. The carbon-fiber S-shaft and balanced design keep the swing neutral over long days, which matters on the eight-hour sessions this style of detecting demands. The shaft collapses to 25 inches for travel and extends to 61.5 inches for taller swings. Prospectors moving from heavier PI machines to the Axiom report immediate fatigue reduction, and the collapsible shaft fits in a carry-on for air travel to remote goldfields.
