A Long Awaited AlgoForce E1500 Video

This detector looks promising so far as a prospecting unit. The ID is a very intriguing feature. I wonder if an ID scale might have uses later on with proper testing in your Cointopia location. I hope it does!

I was thinking that too, I very much limit my dig holes there but if I get the ID's of the common coin finds and go back and hope it finds something deeper, I've missed.  It's an open space with not a lot of junk so it may be ideal.  I won't do that until I've got it all worked out and tested out it's coin depths to ensure its worth a try as I really don't like digging many holes there being a public sports field, even though it's never used for sports games it's not right to dig it up.

Thanks for the vid phrunt. Awesome to see another new Pi out there! The little dogs are starting to nip at the big dogs heals. Maybe Minelab will get the message we dont want to pay their premium prices anymore when we can get a comparable machine for half the cost.

Cooler weather at another gold spot so heading there now to try it out, fingers crossed.

Looking at the weather forecast it's looking like it's far too hot to go gold hunting tomorrow, the damn wind from Australia is really cooking us.   I might hit the beach tomorrow and do the gold later in the week when it cools down, there is no trees or anything for shade in the gold area, I'll be roasting to death, at least the beach I can dunk myself to cool down.  Either way, being a new detector very different to anything I've ever owned before I've got lots to learn and tinker with, I want to compare depth on a coin to the 5000 with the same coil too, to get an idea of how deep it goes on that sort of target and see at what point the target ID starts to become unstable. 

How hot is hot? I think our brothers across the ditch will laugh at you.

YES! Try it on a flogged patch and see what it finds that the other detectors cant hear. Fingers and toes crossed....🤞

We know how good he has been at finding lots of shotgun pellets. So if going over the same old grounds I am interested to see how many more he missed & if he actually improves his gold count/pellet ratio. Nothing quite like going back over thrashed grounds to test a new toy. One thing I am pretty sure of is that there wont be any bigger gold coming out. Its gone.

Simon, Your honest and up front raw video, comments and testing is fantastic.

Not many folks get as excited as you do for so many detectors and or coils.  Your enthusiasm towards helping so many people in finding different tools for the gold hunt is exactly on par with the top few in the US who do the same.  Passion my friend is bleeding through.

Hopefully my Staff/I will be able to find one some how and get it to well known and hunted out Rye Patch, NV.  I'm keeping an open mind in realizing a USD $1500 GPX-6000 detector is not a USD $6500 PI or even a USD $3400 SDC-2300.  But the added features it provides, the multiple of affordable coil selections and it's ergonomics will shine.  If we find some gold at Rye Patch, then we also know it will shine in other less hunted areas.

Interestingly, I enjoy hunting specimen gold and especially the kind that many PI's from the past can't see.  Having a detector with it's sensitivity and ID system should be a game changer to the pocketbook.  Just think of how many folks who can now afford a Pulse Induction detector and still have the money to fill the gas tank and go.

Thanks again my friend.

Same for me, I often have a ratio of 30:1 shotgun pellets to gold using the 6000. Plenty of un-detected deep gold around, its just that we don't have any new detectors capable of hearing it. I am soon getting a legacy Minelab PI (maybe SD2200D) and modding it for use with big coils. Beats a 7000 by a noticeable margin so should be interesting....

Put me down for one of the first AlgoForce 1500's you get in Gerry

If this machine could accurately identify lead pellets from gold, you'd probably never find one on the shelf!

keeping in mind NZ mostly has small gold so it would give me more finds than the 5000 does. 

More finds in pellets. You seem to totally focus on small targets & not larger deeper gold. You reap what you seek. If you are going over old thrashed ground & not only by you but others before you then the bigger deeper gold is most likely not there any more. To have a show of finding deeper bigger gold you need to use bigger coils & gear suited to that. You need to seek fresher less flogged ground as well. Be a lot more adventurous. I note that you seem to keep going back to & over the same old areas. 

I am not picking on you & I appreciate all you do & show. It is just that I am in NZ as well & our conditions will be very similar so it is interesting following you.

Good luck when you get out there.
