What's The Go With Nugget Finder Coils?

[phrunt]

Rumours have been swirling around for weeks on social media about Nugget Finder discontinuing their current line of GPX coils and thinking of remaking some of them in a new design to better suit modern detectors like the Algoforce, and the rumours are larger sizes are all discontinued permanently.

I'm hearing the Sadie is completely discontinued with a new small coil coming in the way of the 12x7" by using the GPX 6000 Xceed coil housing which I've seen a Youtube video of someone testing that particular coil on the GPX 5000, that way at least it can be a spiral or semi spiral and more sensitive than the Sadie, as the spirals leave it in the dust.

I was quite disappointed by the Sadies performance on my Algoforce and it's by no means the detectors fault, it works brilliantly with better coils, I bought it specifically for that detector, a brand new coil at the time I bought the detector so pretty disappointed to hear it's now a discontinued model due to problems, the feedback is it didn't work well with the modern GPX compatible detectors like the Algoforce, the other detectors that had problems with the current Nugget Finder GPX coils were the modified GPX's from the likes of Detectormods.  Sure the coils were intended for the GPX in it's original form and worked well with it but I guess the volume of sales now are more from Algoforce users and perhaps the modded detector crowd as the mods now seem to have matured to be a very good performance enhancing product.  Further rumours are Detectormods have been working with NF on this matter.

I thought it was just rumours swirling yet it became too real to be rumours when I saw it on the Nugget Finder website.

A dealer from the Prospectors Patch released a Facebook video confirming this is taking place, so that's why I'm now posting it as I hate supporting rumours, this gives it some credibility seeing NF aren't very good with communication, although their website has been updated to say the coils are discontinued except for the 12x8" EVO and 12" round but others have said that's just until it runs out., although I'd highly recommend not buying one for the Algoforce, lots of reports of the 12x8" in particular not working well.  Not sure about the 12" but people did say older serial numbers worked well but not newer ones (this was part of the rumours)

I know many don't use Facebook so here's the Prospectors Patch video on Youtube.

Looks like it's the end of an era for the NF GPX coils, hopefully they can get a few models up to scratch like the 12x7" new shell design and the 12" round working well for the Algoforce and re-release them sometime in the future.  I've been using my 14x9" EVO on the Algoforce and had no problems, always loved that coil, works as expected but it's an older serial number one that I've had a few years from my GPX, it seems the problems were newer serial numbers, again rumour I can't verify the validity of that, it could be all of them.

Have any NF dealers or anyone on here heard more about this to enlighten us? 

On a side note, all mention of any other Xceed coils for the 6000 have been removed from their website too, so it looks like the other two sizes are possibly never coming out, bit disappointed in that, I wanted the little one.

Well, I stand corrected, doing some research I found the Sadie is likely being made again as a version 2 coil, here is a photo of it as a prototype on an Algoforce, it's not released yet and in testing but a good sign.

I just bought my Sadie at the wrong time!!! unlucky.....

Didn't you find two bits of gold on your maiden voyage with the Algoforce & the sadie coil? I don't recall seeing any further posts from you on any more gold finds with the Algoforce & any other coils used. Have you tried any other coils on it or have you not been looking for gold with it since?

yup, scored 2 bits using it, but quickly learnt it wasn't very sensitive/deep compared to other coils I normally use.  When mn90403 (Mitchel) visited NZ a few weeks ago the 10x6" X-coil prototype was being used on it looking for gold, sadly none was found then, I find it more sensitive even though it's a bundle coil too and a larger size.  At least they have established there is something going on and working on releasing a version 2 of it to support these more sensitive detectors.  

I last used the Agloforce looking for gold two days ago as I specifically wanted to test something out, but that was with the 10" X-coil, I found no gold, although it was just a couple of hours after a busy ski day so I was worn out and lazy at digging 🙂

I've not used the Sadie at all since I found those two bits of gold using it, I just prefer other coils.

Lately I've mostly been using the Algoforce as a coin detector using various coils and exciting things are happening with it in that regard, the next firmware being released this weekend will bring some of that to light.  At the moment I have little time though, skiing 5 or more days a week.

Is the Algoforce made in China?

Yep and like you said Mick was working with Nuggetfinder on the Sadie.

好吧，我承认错误，做了一些研究后，我发现 Sadie 很可能被再次制作成第二版线圈，这是它在 Algoforce 上作为原型的照片，它尚未发布，正在测试中，但这是一个好兆头。

我只是在错误的时间买了我的 Sadie！真不幸......

After I received the E1500, I purchased a second-hand NF14*9 but it failed (the coil was making noise due to knocking). The NF 8*6 coil equipped with it has good stability, but it is still not as sensitive as GM1000. Now I have purchased a new NF14*9 coil, I hope it will not disappoint me,,,

It’s not made in China, but the Chinese language is very standard and we have a very pleasant time communicating.,,

 I Sell more Evo coils than the Z-Search and Xceed coil’s combined, so it’s not a low demand issue by any means. A sad day for the 5000 users.
