New detector ???

i am curious if anybody in the USAhastried the AlgoForce E1500 plus ?
 
I tried it for a while for smaller nugget gold prospecting.

I decided to stick with Garrett Axiom which is much easier to operate and setup with just about the same weight.

Algo has a 0-99 target ID system when you go into is non-motion pinpoint mode but it does not have any iron reject or iron discrimination. Iron can be anywhere on that 0-99 target ID range.
Algo can use a ton of different mono coils made for the Minelab GP3000 up to GPX5000 series detectors and aftermarket ones made for Whites TDI.
Algo is a button pushers dream pulse induction detector and all of the buttons and features are right on the control unit.
Algo handled EMI really well.

Algo would make a decent deep coin and relic pulse induction detector since those target IDs were pretty accurate on deeper targets if you already knew what targets you were likely to find and had already learned their target IDs.

There is no technical or service support for the Algo in North America. Any potential repairs would have to be done in Australia.

Garrett Axiom was just as sensitive to small gold nugget targets and was able to detect deeper with similar sized coils.

I sold my Algo and got the Minelab Goldmonster 2000 and I am definitely REALLY liking the GM2000

Great info. Thanks for posting.
I just bought my little brother who lives in Alaska the Axiom with three coils.

What small coil would you recommend for the Axiom in iron trash and small nuggets.
Alaska is horrible for iron trash.
 
Two small Axiom coils are available: 11x7” mono and 11x7” DD.The DD works well with the Axiom’s iron audio reject feature.

Maybe I have the mono.
It seems to jump left a right over a quarter.

There are some really good instructional videos on Garrett.com for the Axiom done by Steve Herschbach from Detector Prospector Forum

I'm curious how it would make a decent deep coin detector based on its target ID accuracy if, as you say, iron can show up anywhere on the 0-99 target ID range. Am I missing something?

Read the rest of the sentence after “make a decent coin and relic detector…… “

Maybe I'm dense, but I'm still not getting it. Yes, you say it is pretty accurate on ID's of coins, but you also say iron can ring up as any of those numbers as well. So, how would you know if it was a coin or a piece of iron?

If you have used pulse induction detectors before, most of them have distinct threshold audio response patterns for potential ferrous or non ferrous targets that are shallow to 8” or so deep. Algoforce has that type of audio for its motion detection mode. You can couple that information with the non motion pinpoint mode target IDs and you will have a really good idea about what the you are about to dig.

I haven't used a PI detector before. Did not know about different audio response for ferrous and non ferrous targets. Now it makes sense. Thanks.
