For now it only looks like it will only ship to Australia. I just tried to order one. But apparently they have stock to ship. Too bad would love to try one out.

Try Nenad, at Phasetech, he sends me stuff whenever I need it.

Found the patent, AU2023900847A0 - New method for detecting fast time constant targets using a time domain metal detector - Google Patents

It does tick a lot of boxes though, especially the price and the GPX coil compatibility.  Auto ground balance too, and pinpoint of all things?

Were you able to open the text for these patents? I tried with no success.

Just remember to add the price of coil, battery & headphones - still a good price , especially if you already have these items in your kit.

 

NOTE: Coil & Powerbank are not included.

The choice can be made by the buyer so his existing coils and powerpack or just buy the the size that fits his requirement.  That alone wins my vote.

No, they are still pending.  

Some may find these interesting, previous patents for the two people involved in the patents for the detector.  Two very smart guys and playing Minelabs game by putting patents on everything like an adaptive display that auto adjusts for brightness/contrast etc to see it in different light levels, and also adaptive sound controls.

Achievement:
Beneficial from my previous in-depth research experiences on electromagnetics and my passion about learning new skills, I have very well understanding of the physics behind metal detectors and am proficient in optimising metal detection systems as general. I help the Company design metal detectors with performance well better than those from the competitors. My involved products include:
o Go-Find (entry level highly automatic coin and treasure metal detector)
o Gold Monster (fully automatic gold prospecting metal detector)
o Equinox (revolutionary multi frequency coin and treasure metal detector)
o MDS-10 (revolutionary dual sensor countermine metal detector)
o Vanquish (entry level multi frequency coin and treasure metal detector)
o GPX 6000 (revolutionary high performance pulse induction metal detector)

I would love to be a fly on the wall at the next Minelab managers meeting, which no doubt was called with haste the second they found out about it.  Watch their profits fall on gold detectors now, more damaging than the African gold rush collapsing 🙂

You've really got to read the manual to this thing, it sounds brilliant, and they listened to everyone, and make a point it supports aftermarket coils 😛

Some tidbits from the manual, sounds like my dream PI, ideal for the beach too.

The detector incorporates a dual ground balanced detection channel design, 
enabling the detection of nuggets of varying sizes. 

For experienced PI users accustomed to estimating nugget size from audio cues, the AlgoForce 
E1500 can also help to estimate size or conductivity through its stable conductive target ID (0-99), 
even in highly mineralised soils.

High single frequency VLF detectors typically struggle with signals on wet ocean sand, where PI 
detectors are far more capable of detecting through the salt mineralisation. Capitalising on its UltraFine pulse induction technology and stable conductive target ID (0-99), the AlgoForce E1500 excels on the beach, proving to be a versatile tool for searching fine jewellery, coins, rings, and other 
treasures. 

With its patented built-in microphone for ambient sound awareness, real-time scrolling detection 
signal display, a frequency noise level graph for effortless manual frequency selection, ergonomic 
and lightweight mechanical design, compatibility with aftermarket coils, the convenience of 
universal USB power bank support, and an integrated loudspeaker, the AlgoForce E1500 emerges as 
a robust and user-friendly metal detector. This versatile tool has been carefully engineered to cater 
to the needs of both amateur gold hunters and seasoned prospectors.

In conclusion, both VLF and PI metal detectors come with their own array of advantages and 
limitations. The choice between the two hinges on the user's specific requirements and budget. The 
AlgoForce E1500 bridges the gap, offering a high-performance, cost-effective PI alternative for users 
seeking a detector that combines VLF's sensitivity to small nuggets and fine jewellery, but with Pulse 
Inductions ability to detect in mineralised soils and on beaches

The Conductive Target ID (0-99) displayed in the Pinpoint UI remains stable even in highly 
mineralised soils. A higher number indicates a larger or more conductive target. To obtain an 
accurate target ID, it is recommended to follow these steps: 
 Move the coil away from but close to the target. 
 Ensure the coil is resting on the ground surface and press the Left/Pinpoint button to 
retune. 
 After that, slide the coil on the ground surface until the target is positioned just below the 
centre of the coil. 
The target ID is also useful for assessing the target's shape. If the target ID fluctuates significantly 
when the coil is moved slightly off but still above the target, it likely indicates an irregularly 
shaped target, such as a bottle cap or a nail with a large head. 
If a pinpointer is used to pinpoint the target and you find that the detector is interfering with the 
pinpointer, you can turn off the detector's transmitter by double-clicking the Power On/Off
button. To turn back on the transmitter, simply press any button. 

It has detection modes for all gold sizes too, not just the tiddlers.

Works very well with Nugget Finder Evolution coils, but other recommended coils include: Minelab 8" Commander Mono, Detech 8" Mono, and older Nugget Finder advantage 12x7" Mono etc. *Not compatible with DD coils. 

 

Sure checks a lot of boxes, finally priced at what will open the market to most buyers.

perfect timing as the GPX 5000 is not available in the market here anymore.
