I thoroughly recommend an SDC2300 for someone starting out but wanting a serious detector: 1) It has minimal controls - mode & threshold. You start at lower modes 1-3 as they are more stable and once you have quite some hours under your belt then you can turn it up to mode 4-5 which are more...

one advantage of the old prados - ~1100-1350km range for the petrols

~$1000 from Gympie Qld 3900km @13 l/100km x $2/l Prado120 petrol full roof rack 100km/kr

Yes 2010 Mini Roo . Perth Mint have changed dimensions fractionally since but not enough to make a diff for detection. What also needs to be realised is that even though that looks like a lot of testing results, I would have 5-10x that for each of the other detectors as I explored different...

Its all relative. Coming from an old VLF I thought the TDI SL was outstanding at depth & mineralisation ( and its conductivity switch still gives its users a unique and useful option). But detecting on same ground as others it was apparent that its ground handling was at the lower end of PI...

Went for a play this morning, mainly to do some testing on the AF-E1500. Small Gold: I have a dozen bits of 0.07 to 0.1gram gold that have been found with one detector or the other (mainly G Kruzer) that other detectors cannot see. All are wiry or reefy or foil like. E1500 can see 6/12, SDC can...

not quite that simple but it will still be the best we have had yet for PI see ML info extract down this page https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/25182-algoforce-e1500/page/14/#comments

Thanks for sharing that history ozziegold, I learnt a lot. I have never used the SD or GP detectors as back then I was stupidly still persevering with the ADS and swearing a lot ! Barely had to dig for any gold found with that detector but at least it had decent size coz that was all it...

There is one thing that I never fully understood and that is why some PI detectors are considered good for Big Deep gold ( SD2200, 7000Z, GPX5000) and others are considered Small Shallow gold detectors ( SDC2300, GPX6000 & now AF-E1500). I get that for small gold you need a small coil &...

Good point - Goto the Algoforce website & download the manual. You can see the powerbank is held on under the armrest by a couple of straps so it can take a range of sizes but dunno size limitation. I have a couple 10Ahr power banks and they are pretty small - see below. One is actually just...

Search "powerbank USB"on ebay ... +5000 hits . The detector manual says it draws 700mA average so any powerbank can supply that. You want one that will keep you running for a day so that will be ~10Ahr = 10 000mAhr. If you were going to use a bigger coil then maybe a 20 Ahr power bank...

A bit like PhaseTech :) http://www.phasetechelectrical.com.au/ Electrical contractors https://phasetechspectroscopy.com/ Spectroscopy https://phasetech-int.mseaudio.com/ Audio I would thought that the ML like colour scheme might be more problematic but if it isnt...

?? $2275 + $300 for a Sadie +$ 30 for a power bank = ~$2600 vs $4400 for SDC at moment. It is close to same price as QED and what the TDIs were but has dual GB channel so wont get that GB target hole and most importantly it has ID that works in mineralised ground. That alone makes it...

Hey Nenad, I see you have a couple of the Quest Xpointers on your site - the Pro & the Mark II. Are both PI or just the Mark II ? Have you had a go with them & does the PI stop falsing in high mineralisation as it should ?

It will depend on how junky and how mineralised the creek is. High junk low mineralisation, a VLF will probably out perform a PI. -but only because you get sick of digging trash with the PI. On side by side testing of same undug target in multiple shallow ground creeks in QLD the 6000...

and it gets worse since Google will only allow a few paid top results and leave the rest as good matches else people start to get pissed off and use other search engines but the bots are very cheap and dont care about messing up the results so for searches for popular purchases the whole 1st...

Here is a big part of the answer - https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/01/google-search-is-losing-the-fight-with-seo-spam-study-says/ Basically Search Engines Optimise their results depending on what similar words other people seached for and which results they clicked on & amount of time...

There is a little game I play when detecting, I call it – Where is the Car Now? Anytime I stop for a drink of water or a rest after digging a deeper hole I try and estimate direction of the car & distance without looking at GPS ,phone or compass then I check my guess vs my GPS and see how close...

A good strategy with the TDI models when you are using All mode is that if you walk over a patch with lots of small iron/lead junk you then walk around it identifying its boundaries, but not digging targets, then switch to High mode, go back over that area and pick up all the nice high...

Salut zanoid, In principle high purity silver should be high conductivity and using High Cond mode will allow you to reject a lot of iron rubbish BUT debased coins might not be high conductors. So test some of your target coins with the Conductivity switch in High and then again in Low...
