    Minelab SDC2300 information and questions

    also - how are you finding the machine on bobby pins / bottle caps etc (any way at all to tell if a quality target) - for instance the 'typical pi' double blip on a bobby pin etc? Have used the ATX extensively and looking at the SDC for water as well :)

    Minelab SDC2300 information and questions

    hi Gary - how did the sdc perform in the salt water? any ideas of depth on those rings? deeper or more responsive signals than the CTX? Any wave action noise etc???

    My First Impression of the new SDC 2300

    Hi Gary and Nenad - thanks to you both for your awesome feedback and great to see some beach finds! Gary - I have had the excal II also and the CTX3030 - both great machines for the beach, but lacking the power of a PI unit. SDC seems to be fairly on par depth wise with the ATX in stock...

    cheers for the info :) Much appreciated. Looks like good performance for the mono coil. I think the ATX will def get deeper on the beach, until such time as an aftermarket coil comes out for the sdc? Also - I gather the headphone connector is entirely new - so a CTX3030 headphone set won't...

    My First Impression of the new SDC 2300

    HI There - thanks for this info - what kind of depth on the crown caps etc (a decent foot?) Did you find there was just too many targets to make the SDC useful - i.e., each swing picking up tiny aluminium etc? Interesting to know beach depth on a standard mens wedding band :) Also if you can...

    My First Impression of the new SDC 2300

    i also don't trust that video at all - coming from an an ATX user! I often don't ground balance the ATX and listen through the noise for depth. I cannot think the SDC would not see that chain! Maybe a 'tell' on the video is the guy saying "oh yea, it takes a while to turn on" or words to that...

    My First Impression of the new SDC 2300

    Cheers guys for the suggestions, I have the CTX3030 and currently the ATX for deeper targets than the CTX can handle - you can really notice the difference side by side, it is like pure power and scratching the surface! And digging everything, only in the rights spots, is very worthwhile. I...

    My First Impression of the new SDC 2300

    Hi Guys - have been following this forum! I currently use an ATX and rightly or wrongly are considering a SDC2300 for the beach :D . (Mainly sand and water hunting). Can someone with a SDC, when you are at the beach, bury your ring and see the depth found? I have searched and searched the web...

    My First Impression of the new SDC 2300

    hi Guys I have an ATX and are pretty darn interested in the SDC for beach and water hunting - I wonder if anyone has a unit and can update us on their thoughts for use at the beach! or even give it a shot in saltwater! I know this is not the main aim of the machine, and maybe, just maybe the...
