Release Date: 08/05/2025

At AlgoForce, we are deeply committed to continually investing in research and development to enhance the performance and user experience of our detectors. We proudly provide these improvements to our customers through free software upgrades — and we’ve done it again.

Just like smartphones and other advanced electronic products that require continual software upgrades to unlock new features, improve performance, and enhance user experience, the E1500 series also evolves through ongoing software development. This ensures your detector remains at the cutting edge without the need to buy new hardware.

Version 2.0.0 represents the most significant update to the detector’s interface and usability since the launch of the E1500. It is highly recommended that all E1500 and E1500 Plus users upgrade to take full advantage of the new features and improvements.

What’s New

• Dual User Modes: Standard & Advanced
This version introduces two selectable user modes to better suit different experience levels. Users can seamlessly switch between modes to match their detecting style and skill level.
• Standard Mode simplifies the interface for beginners, focusing on ease of use.
• Advanced Mode provides greater control and customisation for experienced users.

• Improved Menu Layout & Navigation
Menus have been reorganised for more intuitive navigation.

• Enhanced Visual Feedback
Updates to on-screen messaging improve clarity and usability, enhancing overall interaction with the detector.

Note:
• Please refer to the Software Upgrade Instructions on page 23 of the user manual to perform the software upgrade.
• After upgrading from an older version, any customised coil size settings and coil calibration data will be reset. Once the upgrade is complete, be sure to calibrate the coil as you would with a new detector by following on-screen instructions under Calibrate Coil in Standard User Mode or Coil Selection in Advanced User Mode.
 

The AlgoForce E1500 series, comprising the E1500 and E1500 Plus, is a pulse induction metal detector that excels at locating very small gold nuggets in often complex mineralised soils found in most goldfields. Developed by AlgoForce Pty Ltd, it harnesses proprietary Ultra-Fine pulse induction technology, which is capable of detecting even the tiniest of gold nuggets. This sensitivity matches that of VLF gold detectors in low mineral soils, but being a PI detector, it has a bigger advantage in highly mineralised terrains. 

Both VLF and PI metal detectors come with their own array of advantages and limitations. The choice between the two hinges on the user's specific requirements and budget. The AlgoForce E1500 series bridges the gap, offering a high performance, cost effective PI alternative for users seeking a detector that combines VLF's sensitivity to small nuggets and fine jewellery, but with a Pulse Induction detectors ability to detect in mineralised soils and on beaches.

Built for Prospectors & Treasure Hunters
The E1500 Plus combines the sensitivity of a VLF with the depth of a PI, designed in Australia for goldfields everywhere. While perfect for prospectors, it also excels for coin and relic hunters, delivering versatile performance on various terrains.

Two User Modes
Standard and Advanced Modes for both entry-level and experienced users, offering flexibility and ease of use.

Proprietary Ultra-Fine Pulse Induction Technology
Our Ultra-Fine Pulse Induction technology delivers exceptional sensitivity and stability on mineralised ground and black sands. Three selectable soil types—Hot, Mild, and Beach—optimise performance across a range of conditions, from extreme goldfields to dry sand and saltwater environments.

Extreme EMI Resistance
Use near power lines or in suburban areas with minimal interference. Explore untouched sites with confidence!

Precise Target Identification
Detect gold with fewer digs. Unique on-screen target ID helps you focus on valuable targets. It significantly boosts efficiency in trashy goldfields, making detecting faster, easier, and more productive.

Wide Range of Coil Options
Compatible with GPX 5-pin mono coils, including options from Coiltek, Nugget Finder, and more. Select the best setup for your needs!

Convenient USB Power
Powered by a common USB power bank, the E1500 Plus offers flexibility and affordability with high-capacity options for extended runtime—no need for specialised batteries. A lightweight 10,000mAh power bank provides approximately 10-12 hours of runtime.

Lightweight Design
Weighing under 850g without coil or battery, and under 2kg with a small coil and battery, the E1500 Plus is the lightest pulse induction gold detector available, built with a durable carbon fibre shaft.

Adjustable & Portable
Easily extend, collapse, or store the telescopic shaft, which adjusts for ergonomic use in tight spaces or on the go.

Free & Intuitive Software Upgrades
Ongoing R&D delivers continuous software upgrades that boost performance and unlock new features—constantly expanding your detector’s capabilities at no extra cost.

Australian Support & Warranty
Backed by a 2-year warranty, with comprehensive support from AlgoForce and authorised dealers.
