Minelab SDC 2300
Minelab's folding PI gold detector: MPF pulse induction with an 8-inch Monoloop, fully waterproof to 3 meters, collapsing to 40 cm, with Normal and Salt modes.
Overview
The Minelab SDC 2300 is a pulse induction gold detector designed around one job: finding small gold nuggets in difficult ground. It uses Minelab's MPF (Multi Period Fast) technology, which keeps it stable in heavily mineralised soil while still giving strong sensitivity to small pieces of gold that many PI machines miss.
Its military-style build is a big part of its appeal. The detector folds down to about 40 cm without taking it apart, so it fits easily in a backpack or vehicle, and the control box and 8-inch Monoloop coil are sealed and waterproof to 3 m. This makes it equally useful on dry goldfields, in creek beds and on wet, salty ground, where the dedicated Salt Mode helps reduce false signals.
Operation is kept simple, with automatic ground balance, noise cancel and a 9-LED target indicator alongside the audio response. Power comes from a rechargeable Li-ion pack rated for up to eight hours, or from four C-cell alkaline batteries as a backup. A 6-pin jack accepts Minelab or Koss waterproof headphones and the Pro-Sonic wireless audio system.
