Algoforce Compared to SDC2300?

[stevenj48]

now the Algoforce have been around a little while what are peoples opinions on the Algoforce 1500 VS SDC2300?
i have a SDC that is just sitting around i rarely get out considering selling it and buying a used Algoforce is it a worthwhile swap?
also have a gold Monster 1000 And Equinox 800 In my collection that i may also offload.

If you already have an SDC I cant understand why you would want to sell it (~ $3300) and buy an Algo ( ~ $3000) as your main PI. Performance wise you are going slightly backward and havent made any signif money. I supposed you could make a k buying a used Algo.

Sure sell the Monster or EQ800, they are overlapping performance. I would prob sell the Monster but thats me.

You could sell all 3 and get an Algo then you would still have PI and ID but I wouldnt do that...... well actually thats exactly what I did - sold my EQ800,GK and SDC and bought a Algo... but I have a 6k as my main PI.

But I bought the Algo before selling the others so I knew upfront what I was gaining and losing vs each detector and was happy with the net result from just keeping the Algo ( and 6k).

Sold my 5000 and bought an Algoforce about a year ago, gold tally has dropped a bit, but a lightweight cordless detector that is so easy to use, makes prospecting a lot more enjoyable.

I would offload the 3 and buy a 2nd hand 6000.

I beleive the sdc is better than the algo.only thing you loose is the ability to swap coils.but i eleive the sadie size is suited to the algo.as fo target id i was still getting leadshot up to 15.so you still need to dig.

I couldn't justify that I have been out detecting twice in the last twelve months. So why I was thinking about downsizing

ID15 shot would be steel shot not lead but yes is poss. You just have to play the odds.

Ignoring 00 eliminates 99% of lead shot and 1% of nuggets.

If you have lots of ID15 shot around then you can ignore that too and dig the 5-8 and +30 signals knowing that you will be missing the reefy 1-3 grammers but will be getting the rest of the gold smaller and bigger.

No ID on ANY machine gives 100%/0% correct call on all targets at all depths.
