Minelab F3 Detector for sale

[Guest]

Gday

Have noticed a minelab F3C mine detector for sale on ebay and gumtree, the description is saying its the same as the sdc2300, asking $3200 on one listing and $2000 on another, just thought that I would let any newbies looking for an sdc2300 know that while it appears very similar to the sdc2300 it is not the same in performance and can not be upgraded or made to work the same as the sdc2300, its a mine detector and not a dedicated gold nugget detector.

Sdc2300 Pulse Induction: Multi Period Fast (MPF) @ 3,000 signals per second
Frequency: 3kHz
Weight: 2.3 Kg
Enhance/Fine gold type of recovery processing.

F3C
Pulse Induction: Bi-Polar Multi Period Sensing (MPS)
Frequency: 1.25 kHz
Weight 2.6 Kg

There is a bit more information on the specs on the Minelab website.

cheers

Good info there StayyerAU.
Been trying to correct that misinformation myself when I see it but there are a lot of conspiracy theorists around that are convinced they are the same detector & Minelab just changed the casing colour for mass sales to the public as a way of getting rid of surplus.
If they bothered to read the specs they would soon see the differences in pulse induction type & the extra functions the F3C compact has for safety purposes/self checking.

Ah not many land mines up here in GT however, we did have some hand grenades
found last year and the bomb squad had to come up to check them out.

Turned out someone dumped them years ago.
