It sure does fold up into a nice small package. Will be interesting to see it in action.

Hi Jim,
The worldwide market for the SDC may be large. As you say, we will see. I hope to take one to Alaska with me.
I will be seeing Dick and I will say hi for you. Best wishes.

I sure would love to own one.
Problem is I haven't quite found enough gold with my GMT to pay for it yet. (about 1/2 oz. at todays prices)
Would have to find 3 oz. of pure gold to pay for the SDC 2300 though.
I'm working on it.

I saw it listed for $3999.00 AUD which converts to around $3600.00 USD

? Seriously? The website link I just saw lists it as a mid range unit. Here is the link I just read: SDC 2300 Product Details Announced | Minelab News
Quote from the link: The SDC 2300 is a high performance mid-range gold detector.

Heavy is right! I have the military version which uses the same platform and it's not a lightweight or designed for ergonomic comfort. I wouldn't really call this "waterproof" either. It's good enough to be used in the rain or if you drop it in a puddle.

The Minelab GPX 5000 MSLP is $5999.00 So I suppose that's what makes the SDC 2300 mid-range at around $3600
Top of the line Minelabs aint fer po boys like me.

Wake me up when someone who knows the detectors involved tests the SDC against a TDI SL, AN ATX with the 8" mono coil and a GoldBug 2. JP in OZ clearly prefers it to the ATX, but his level of trouble with the ATX falsing doesn't seem to be replicated by folks here in North America. NOTE I have just been reminded that a previous US reviewer had clearly noted the falsing issue. I had an ATX and used it with the coil cover. I had very little falsing, but it may vary greatly with ground conditions or there may be variation from detector to detector.
At nearly $4000 it needs to be twice as effective as an ATX and three times as effective as the the TDI SL to be worth it.
it is also compact and waterproof but it isn't light. With batteries installed, it weighs within an ounce or two of a GPX 5000 with Doc's Gold Screamer installed.
