Garrett Axiom 16" x 14" DD Search Coil for Gold Prospecting

The Garrett Axiom 16" x 14" DD-FC search coil is a waterproof Double-D accessory built for Axiom pulse-induction detector owners prospecting in mineralized ground where maximum area coverage drives productivity. Axiom operators working wide-open washes or hillside patches where nuggets scatter across expansive ground gain the widest footprint in the Axiom coil lineup from this semi-elliptical geometry, letting you cover more terrain per swing than the 13" x 11" or 11" x 7" options. The DD-FC (Double-D Focused Core) design delivers detection performance that exceeds traditional mono coils on small gold targets while maintaining depth penetration across the largest search area Garrett offers for the Garrett Axiom metal detector – gold prospecting PI detector platform.

What's Included with the Garrett Axiom 16" x 14" DD Coil

• Garrett Axiom 16" x 14" DD-FC search coil
• Protective coil cover

Why Garrett Axiom Owners Reach for the 16" x 14" DD Coil

• Maximum ground coverage for open-field prospecting: the 16" x 14" semi-elliptical footprint covers the widest area per swing in the Axiom coil series, letting you prospect large washes and hillsides faster than smaller coils allow.
• Focused Core technology maintains sensitivity on small gold across a larger search area: the DD-FC construction concentrates the electromagnetic field for strong response on sub-gram nuggets even with the expanded footprint.
• Waterproof construction supports wet-ground prospecting: run the coil through creek beds and flooded washes without worrying about seal integrity.
• Included coil cover protects against rock abrasion: the durable cover ships in the box, extending coil life in harsh prospecting terrain.
• Compare the 13" x 11" DD coil for tighter target separation in moderate-trash patches or the 11" x 7" DD coil for maximum separation in trashy bedrock sites.

Wider Coverage in Open Desert and Hillside Prospecting

Wide-Open Washes Where Nuggets Scatter Across Expansive Ground

The 16" x 14" footprint covers more ground per swing than the 13" x 11" or 11" x 7" coils, letting you prospect wide desert washes and open hillsides faster. Axiom operators working areas with sparse trash benefit from the expanded search area without the target-separation penalty that would matter in denser patches. The DD-FC construction maintains sensitivity on small gold targets across the larger footprint, so you're not trading detection capability for coverage. Our team runs this coil in Nevada and Arizona washes where bedrock exposure is minimal and the ground opens up for hundreds of yards. Swing speed stays comfortable even with the larger size because the semi-elliptical geometry balances better than a full circular coil would at this dimension.

• Best for: Open washes, hillside patches with sparse trash, wide bedrock exposure where target density is low and coverage drives productivity.
• Less ideal for: Trashy patches near old mine sites or bedrock crevices where multiple targets cluster within inches of each other.

Hillside Prospecting Where Terrain Limits Your Swing Count

When you're working steep hillsides or rocky slopes where footing slows your swing rate, the 16" x 14" coil's expanded coverage compensates by detecting more ground per pass. Axiom prospectors hunting hillside benches or slope transitions gain better productivity from the larger footprint because terrain constraints already limit how fast you can move. The waterproof construction supports running the coil through seasonal runoff channels and wet hillside seeps without seal concerns.
