  1. Yes, handy but very slow. Micro USB is 2.0 amp input. USB-C is 3.0 amp input. Solar is just 0.3 amp input. Days of sunlight to fully charge that! Hope the Algo is there soon πŸ‘
  2. Ah, yes, I didn't read that properly. Without that option I am going to have to pass up the offer as well πŸ™‚
  3. Even if you can break it up into 3 easy payments of $30,000??? πŸ˜‰
  4. I just bought one of the little Cygnett solar charged battery packs a week ago. Hopefully not too heavy for the Algo and should balance your NF coil nicely. Is that a 12"? I didn't buy mine for an Algo, just for camping. Was $100 at Office Works but they price matched a deal that Anaconda had at $70. Need to get some of those little USB plugs to fill the gaps of the other ports whilst it is on your Algo πŸ‘
  5. Followed your link Art. It shows the unlocked episodes but unfortunately it says unavailable in our region 😞 Jin is an Australian too, so likely has the same issue. Is this where one of those VPN thingo's would help @phrunt ?
  6. I know it will be also directed at communications and the other areas of their business but $117 million of product development is encouraging.
  7. Wow! That is very interesting to know. There will be very few camera shots of landscapes appearing in photos or on YouTube from now on. Thanks for the heads up πŸ‘
  8. If it is doing something special/new with ground balancing and can handle ground that the GPX 6000 cannot, that is the extra power I am looking for. And, if the "Algo 2500" is calibrated for large targets and has the same ground handling ability then things might get very interesting 🀞
  9. This bit is particularly exciting I think. I have areas where these clays are a P.I.T.A and at Manual 1 Sensitivity the GPX 6000 still does not handle them.
  10. Hi NK. I have been fortunate enough to receive my father's old 5000 that was modded by Mick at Detectronics. Have only used it a couple of times now but have been impressed with its smooth threshold, the ability to wind it right up and the ability to tame things for hotter ground. Used it last weekend around the Whipstick for a couple of hours and picked up a nice 4 gram piece and the usual other bits of crap. Using a 19" Evo and it was about a foot deep. Had 2 6000's with us (my mother and my son using them) and they picked up 5 small pieces of gold and the usual 867 pieces of lead shot! Unfortunately we didn't check anything before digging. Not sure where you are NK but happy to meet up at some stage and compare the SD Vs the 5000 if you like? I'm in N.E Vic but head to Bendigo reasonably often. I've also got a GP 3500 that I'd like to check on some deep targets with the 19" Evo as I think it might have some issues. I bought it to run a 20X40" AI drag coil and it was underwhelming but I assumed that was just the coil. Hooked it up to the 5000 yesterday (in the shed) and the threshold was smooth and the detection depth of air tested targets was pretty much 2/3 more!
  11. Good post TE. I know this is a prospecting forum but probably nearly worthy of a thread on its own. Very important subject and one that many people don't realise can have such dire consequences.
  12. And if it can ground balance over a wider range of ground with its greater amount of inputs that can be changed, then that will make it even more attractive. I love the GPX6 but handling some ground poorly and not having the settings available to make it usable has been a real shortcoming (IMHO).
  13. Hmmmmm πŸ€” Well, Dalas backwards is Salad. And we all know that... ...so, that can't be it. And Dalas was a big TV hit back in the day with JR and he wore a big hat. But one L is missing from this version. Is it, one 'ell of a BIG hat!?
