Are you dreaming of finding gold, but feel uncertain about buying a detector—even when you have the money?
You’re not alone.
Last month, a customer told me, “Akello, buying a gold detector is hard. Every time I save enough, I wonder if I should use it to start a business instead.”
I understood him.
And I hear this a lot—from men and women all over Eastern Africa. They’re smart. They want to grow. But something makes them pause when it comes to buying a gold detector.
Interestingly, these same people have no problem buying smartphones, electronics, or even trying their luck on betting platforms. These are things with lower or no return. But when it comes to detectors—the investment that can bring real gold—they freeze.
Why? Because deep down, buying a gold detector like the Garrett Goldmaster 24k or Garrett Axiom is a serious investment. It’s not play. It demands a decision. And real decisions feel heavy. But I want to show you that this is the best investment you can make—if done right, and with the right guidance.
What Makes a Detector a Good Investment?
Let’s look at the hard facts.
1. Gold never lies.
A high-quality machine like the Goldmaster 24k or Axiom will detect gold if it’s in the ground. When you walk into a gold-rich area with a good detector, you don’t leave empty-handed. That’s a promise.
2. Detectors do more than find nuggets.
Our Garrett machines detect mineralisation—the presence of minerals in the soil. This helps you identify hot zones (high gold probability) and avoid wasting time in poor ground. It even supports other methods like sluicing and leaching.
3. It’s a one-time purchase with long-term benefit.
You can use the same machine for years. You’re not just buying gear. You’re buying access to opportunity.
But not all detectors are equal—and neither are all sellers.
Why Detecting with Akello is Different
We are not just selling machines.
Detecting with Akello is a gold detection brand built around one mission: to empower gold miners in East Africa with the best tools and knowledge to succeed with Garrett.
We are an authorized dealer of Garrett, and we focus only on the Goldmaster 24k and Garrett Axiom, because we believe these are the most reliable machines for our soil conditions in Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, South Sudan, Ethiopia, Zambia, and Congo.
But here’s where we’re different:
- We train you in the field—not just on paper.
- We understand the soil you work on—from hot rocks to iron-filled zones.
- We offer installment plans, so you don’t have to break your back to buy a machine.
- We are local. Our offices are in Eldoret (Zion Mall B86/87) and Nairobi (Mfangano Trade Center, 2nd Floor, S3). You can walk in, talk to us, and test the machine. We also have a network of sub-dealers near the minefields.
Don’t Wait for a Gold Rush – Learn Your Machine Now
A lot of people ask: “Where will I use it? Should I wait until there’s a gold rush?”
Here’s the truth: When a gold rush happens, it’s already too late.
By then, everyone is rushing, and the price of everything—especially time—goes up. You won’t have time to learn the machine. Our team, which gives free field training, will be busy in the field mining too.
The best time to buy a machine is before the rush. That’s when you:
- Learn how the detector responds to tiny nuggets, hot rocks, wire, nails, and mineralised soil.
- Get trained one-on-one by our expert miners.
- Practice in quiet fields before they get crowded.

What If You Don’t Have the Full Amount?
We’ve thought of that too.
Many of our customers pay in instalments. You can start with as low as 30–50% of the machine cost, and grow from there. We keep your funds safe and record everything officially.
Once your payments reach the full amount, we hand over your machine—with full training included.
We’ve had many success stories from people who took this route and are now proudly mining their own gold.
