Minelab SDC 2300 Metal Detector is Coming Soon in 2014!

Just received this email from ML, thought some may be interested

http://minelab.newsweaver.co.uk/1bzc5eux373stbmr15suul?email=true&a=11&p=42946375

inside word is it will be out in feb 2014
regards trashy

Looks interesting. I wonder what the other brands equivalents its aimed at? Between a VLF and PI?

maybe i should wait awhile before i buy my detector ?

Is this a poke at the ATX around the "mid range" but improved from the XTerra and Eureka Gold
Would be interesting to see if it's a PI machine

ML is going to be releasing 3 new detectors over 2014

This is from the Codan AGM in Oct:

Good news coming out. 3 yes 3 new detectors coming out in the next 12 months. They have listed these 3 new models.

1.Super Gold Machine.
2. Mid Range Gold Machine.
3. Low Cost Metal Detector ( are they chasing all the cheap Garrett sales )

So stay tuned 2014 will be interesting.

Quote - " We have a number of exciting new product releases planned during the
next two years, including the introduction of a low-cost metal detector, which will open up a completely
new market segment for Minelab. In addition to competing in the lucrative first-world market for lowerpriced
metal detectors at the entry level, it is designed to make metal detecting more attractive and
accessible to emerging world customers and to bring even more people, particularly younger enthusiasts,
into the activity.

Our next flagship gold detector will be based on new technology that we have developed and verified;
technology that will dramatically improve detector performance. "

So those interested in a new 500, maybe wait a while until they release he new super gold detector

They are also releasing a new ARMY model of detector that includes GPR into the unit for looking for those elusive UXO's.

From the AGM minutes...

In FY13 we released a significant number of new products. In our Minelab division we launched the CTX
3030, an exciting feature-packed metal detector which has set a new standard in the coin and treasure
segment of the consumer market. In a business in which we have tended to highlight our gold detector
sales into Africa, it is worth noting that this consumer segment of our offering represents about 30% of
Minelabs sales, and has demonstrated strong and steady growth during the past four years. In addition to
the new CTX platform, we also released a number of high value-add accessories, including a pinpointer
and a state-of-the-art harness. We have a number of exciting new product releases planned during the
next two years, including the introduction of a low-cost metal detector, which will open up a completely
new market segment for Minelab. In addition to competing in the lucrative first-world market for lowerpriced
metal detectors at the entry level, it is designed to make metal detecting more attractive and
accessible to emerging world customers and to bring even more people, particularly younger enthusiasts,
into the activity.
Our next flagship gold detector will be based on new technology that we have developed and verified;
technology that will dramatically improve detector performance.In Countermine, we are developing a new dual sensor detector, aimed at further strengthening our
position in the military and security segment of the market, where ground penetrating radar is used in
conjunction with our worlds-best metal detecting technology.

Also the timing of the release looks like it wil co-incide with the December dealer conference

More announcements on Dec 9th.

Looks a lot like the F2 Compact.

Only 1 more sleep to go

Rumour has it ......it will cost about $ 4k

Looks like we are stuck waiting for the US 9th
Just rang Brisbane Gold and they havn't even been told any info on them

Snore, I know the US is a big market, but what about being an Aussie company and giving us the first exclusive look??? Nothing Minelab is being made here anymore anyway.

Someone does not like new machine, Codan share price down 12% today.

Okay so here is the deal. It may be called an sdc2200. (c is for compact) and it may be $3980. It may also feature gpx5000 fine gold settings, and it may be released in May 2014. It may have already been ordered by a reputable local dealer that i spent the weekend with who is world renound and a minelab store owner. But all of this is completely heresay and it only is rumour. ha ha ha. I cant wait to be the first to swing it!

What is a MPF technology?

Typo, MPS is what they'd mean.

Edit* Now I said that and I'm looking at the ML website
Looks like maybe it is a 'thing' they have come up with. The F3 was an MPS detector..... I wonder if there was a single typo on the product brief that got supplied to the web department and they have no working knowledge of the machines and just carried the typo forward?

"C" cell batteries, that would have to be a big step backwards?
