It is a pity the Algoforce AF1500 is currently sold sans coil ( and is sold out ).
If a newbie didnt have to worry about buying a coil separately ( no biggie for experienced detectorists but a bridge too far for your 1st detector) then it would be easy to recommend it as it is no harder to use than a Nox and is PI but with identification, even if not silent discrimination.
With a Sadie it would be $2600 new which is a bit more than double a GM new but only a bit more than 1/2 SDC new.
