The Best Mid-Range Gold Detector: Minelab vs Garrett

Use code: MountaineerMatt

The Garrett Axiom just dropped in price , making it cheaper than the Minelab SDC 2300. With better performance and unbeatable value, the Axiom is now the best gold detector under $2,000. In this video, I compare the two detectors, and share why the Axiom might be the ultimate choice for prospectors. Whether you're just starting or looking for an upgrade, you won't want to miss this.

Excellent video Matt. As an old man I like the way the SDC folds up and fits in my backpack. Aloha

Almost there. A garratt axiom 2 would be interesting. I love how the Axiom feels to handle.

Maybe you can do another video comparing how each detector does when they encounter different types of hot rocks and if each can balance them out, maybe they also act differently on non gold targets

I was able to pickup an Axiom with the 11" mono. If you were to pick another coil to have, which would it be. The ground I hunt is not overly mineralized and the only gold I have found at this point was with the Gold Bug Pro and pretty small. If another coil isn't much of an advantage it would be nice to know because I could always spend that money on other gear. Respect your opinion....Thanks

But the sdc 2300. Is really good in heavily mineralise ground my Freand found $6000 worth of rare Leafgold in Georgetown Queensland Australia all the other metal detectors GP 4000 GP 4500 GP 5000 missed it

Hello, if you notice you are searching with the ML CENTER of the coil up about 6-8" farther away from you, and even a break in your Video making, ending with the ML closer to you but off to your RIGHT, then when you search with the Garrett, which you are scraping the dirt lower and CENTERED AT LEAST 8" lower than the ML, and over exact barried spot, over and over to hear the
SLIGHT difference. a little strange? why the cut in the Video?

Nice channel Matt! Thanks the great run down and info on the detectors. I was told to get the gold monster 1000. Haven't found gold with it yet, and slowly learning I may have bought the wrong one. They're not cheap either. I been wanting to get a 6000 or something better. After seeing this video and been seeing others using these. I may go with one of the two. Or would you recommend something else if I'm gonna spend that kinda money? Thanks

It’s very noticeable your trying to favour the Garrett
