Thats amazing and clearly a lot of skill and hard work put in. 🤙 Have you paid off your Algo-Force with gold yet? Genuine question.

I couldn't wait to offload my Algo. All up cost me $2700 and I sold it as quick as I could for $1500. I'd love to get all the blokes that were on forums talking it up as the best thing ever on small gold and bang all their heads together. VLF sensitivity in a PI! Utter crap, I went to places I'd found hundreds of little bit with my 5000 and 12" Evo and got bananas, stuff all with that stupid Algo. Iv been back to those spots with the GM2000 and they're alive with bits. Now the GM2000 "is" like a VLF in a PI, unlike all the BS hype that the Algo was and leaves that con machine in its wake.

To be fair, if the E1500 had been released only 6 years ago, it would have been very competitive. Now, its 'meh' due to the 6000 being around for 4+ years. It finds gold but isn't 'leading edge' by any measurement. The GM2K on the other hand is astoundingly good. If the Goldex+ ever gets released, its going to be the only competitor to it in the foreseeable future.

That reminds me of what was said about the Axiom and the TDI and the ATX and the Infinium. "If only....."

Yep, everyone else is playing 'catch up'....years behind. The one obvious thing that Minelab get right every time, is R&D to push the tech envelope.
