Getting the best from the 2300

[PhaseTech]

Hi all,

It's been some time since I put up a blog on my website, but I've recently put up a blog discussing how to get the best performance from the SDC2300.

If you pick up 1 new tip, then it'll be worth the read.

Cheers

Thanks Nenad, a good read.

I hired a sdc from the fellas in Maryborough Vic a few months ago, I only had it for a few hours but found some tiny shot with it, I was quite impressed with it, a big step up from my Goldmaster.

Good read thanks Nenad. With all of these specials going on at the moment, I am seriously considering buying one of these SDC's. If i do there is a few items on your web site i would need Nanad.

Hi Nenad
The burning question,do think Minelab might upgrade the box to make the machine more friendly to use,lets face it,it was not designed as a gold detector,that was a after thought.

Apart from the crappy position of the speaker digger, i couldn't see how they could make it any more user friendly. I shove the batteries in, turn it on, do a quick balance and start detecting. I'm out detecting within a minute of turning it on and doing three settings at max.

They should have done the speaker on the SDC like a camcorder screen,so you could flip it out and point it at you.

Then people would have been damaging them etc. & blaming Minelab for that too :lol:

Well Scounger,you could say it is like 2 bricks joined and a coil on the end that moves,and it falls over,and the earphone arrangement,well we all know what a great success that is,but the one redeeming thing is it finds gold,but I guess Minelab will put it in a new box,slap grand on the price and call it a new name.

Fair enough mate, i don't come from an engineering background or a long history of gold detecting. All i know is that for me it's an easy machine to use and find gold with. Sure, i could suggest some changes that in my opinion would make it more user friendly but all in all i reckon it's a ripper machine for finding gold. When the 7000 first came out and within a few months i ran into blokes who were already complaining and talking about selling up and going back to the 5000 and sdc. So i suppose none are perfect, they either suit your needs or they don't.
