Nice work Ed, I'm actually very impressed with the performance of that machine and with the targets it finds, it rivals the GPX 6000, I don't think people would be disappointed at all. Great review mate. Cheers Pete
The latest software update really sharpens up the signal. After installing you do a factory reset. This turns of the vibration and gives access to to threshold pitch adjustments. It’s a marked improvement. This info is for people thinking of buying one. The fact that Algoforce is working on software tweaks, then allowing users to upgrade regularly is nothing short of brilliant.
Just a tip, instead of flipping to coil over to test targets, just get some 3M clear film and cover the top of the coil so you don't scratch it up. works a treat.
Hi Phil, coils are optional with the machine, as AlgoForce do not make coils, instead they detector is compatible with the SD / GP / GPX Coils 5-Pin Mono coils (excluding GPX6000 coils). Larger coils can detect deeper into the ground but have less sensitivity to smaller targets.
Sorry mate but I don’t see any outstanding benefits with this machine apart from light weight and target ID. It certainly shows to not have much depth. It’s fancy a pretty but it doesn’t seem to find gold any better than most detectors out there.

Thanks Pete, we were really impressed with it too. Very grateful to be able to do that quick comparison, it is much appreciated 🙏

@@detect-ed, Hi have a question, how would this detector do on beach hunting ?.

Excellent showcasing of the algo force

Very noticable and distinct difference in the sound when you on lead or gold.
Looks promising. Interested to know when the waterproof version will hit the market.
Very nice , it would be interesting to see a test on depth with larger bits.Great price and accepts old coils you already have ,brilliant!
Absolutely, we'll have more videos coming! Thanks for your comment.
Gday Ed,
I understand this unit itself can’t be used underwater but are there coils suitable for submerging in a foot or two of water?
Although these coils appear well sealed, they aren’t explicitly stated to be waterproof.
The Detech coils claim to be waterproof though 👍
1. What size coils come with the machine.
2. Will larger coils go deeper.

How much does this device cost in dollars? Thank you
Hi Ed, is there any accessories like screen protector and covers?
Hi, there isn't any yet to my knowledge, but I imagine there will be soon! ;)
wow! Can I use the detector at the beach? It would be a waste to only use it for nugget hunting.
We haven't got to the beach yet but other users have, see this forum post: www.detectorprospector.com/topic/25723-algoforce-at-the-beach/
Update: AlgoForce have added a Beach Mode :D
What size coil is on the machine,
In this video we are using the 9” coiltek elite mono coil 👍
Is it waterproof? Like a surfcaster? Thanks.
This one is not waterproof like a Surfmaster.
I’m sure if would be fine over wet though.
Doesn't sound real sensitive to small nuggets compared to modded 5000.
What headphones are you using please?
Hey @gravelman555 I’m using this setup here www.detect-ed.com/products/bluetooth-headphone-kit
Can it be shipped to Europe? Can it be shipped to England???
Hey mate, at this point in time we are not permitted to sell these outside of Australia.
Cheers,
Ed
Dig everything
I need one, but I'm in US lol
The 1500 is much quieter
No one do deep test on the beach ya, that macine

so have you used it?
