Nice one Woody. Thanks for that. You have always had my back in regards to your mods from back in the earlier days. Despite back then the flack you got from the Minelab disciples. It is people like you that give us electronic prospectors a glimmer of hope & willing to be adventurous that there are better improvements that can be made to existing detectors. You have proved that is the case & I know first hand from getting some of your products & do in fact have a modded 4500 done by you that upped my game. X coils too came to our rescue which in the end, despite the hornets nest that stirred up, has benefited the detecting community. Maybe not so much for ML but great to see a new kid on the block taking them to task. All the best of luck out there. kiwijw John Wilson 🙂
Nice to see its guts, very modern design there. The big lump on the back is explained now with the capacitors, explains a lot. It's such an EMI resistant design.
Thank you, dear friend! You have done a serious job. Did you take a photo of the board? Maybe I can ask you for a photo of the board in high resolution?
When you go to test the device in the field, I hope to try it on large targets such as a can of tuna or more, in order to pair it with the gpx5000 device at depth.
I know the target ID works well on small gold up to a few grams that I’ve tested, but I have no bigger bits to test on at the min, 33 interesting, can’t wait to see this video later wen u put it up, thanks 👍
If yr field testing over the weekend, can u see what numbers the target ID gives on a larger piece of gold, say something around an ounce or bigger plz, thanks woody👍
Hey Woody - my biggest negative when I got mine was the crappy cheap 3.5mm Audio Jack - so you think a 6.35mm {1/4in} Jack fit below those blue Caps - that jack on it lost tension after trying to set up my wireless gear - quite annoyed they went El cheap there 🤔
@@DetectorMods the 1/4in Jacks in my PhaseTech SP01 booster are excellent and arnt that big I rememve when I replaced battery - thanks - where would I get a decent 1/4in Female audio jack?
@@peterwoodland446 @peterwoodland446 I found a Mouser Electronics in Notting Hill - close to me - i think there's just enough room behind Algo caps to fit a 1/4in - i need 36mm of space 🙄
Mosfets? for Coil Drive? etc. pretty much smd! low current! Not a deep seeker or large coil Machine! just my take from this quick , case open! .Thanks!
Sounds good woody looking forward to your next on this New detector

All competition is good for the gold hunters.

Yes, exactly

It is a small gold detector but I have a feeling that it will work well with larger coils.
Like coiltek 18

Great point
Thanks, David, was wondering about it.

In the workshop my test gold all came up as 33
Arm Processor ! Thanks! Sweet!
Thanks woody it will b interesting👍😃

Everything is made for a price , it’s very difficult to find good connectors, China ones are no good.

@@melbournesubtropicfruits9474 We get our jacks from Mouser in the US, do not buy Chinese as they fail.

Did I see broken components on the board next to the blob of glue?
Never noticed.
wait.. does the board printed "Minelab Electronics"? does the algoforce a subsidiary of minelab?
Thanks from 3875 looks great
Hopefully, it is a good detector
Looks good
Mosfets? for Coil Drive? etc. pretty much smd! low current! Not a deep seeker or large coil Machine! just my take from this quick , case open! .Thanks!
These days you can get very small mosfets that can handle 5 or more amps
Woody is the best ❤
Interesting.🧐 (didn't take you long..lol)
Eoic Woody .
