Personally, I wouldn't.
I agree Gully.
Never an issue in years of this use. Simply wash down after with fresh water
The only issue if you can call it that is make sure you remove and clean coil cover as quite an amount of sand gets in.
Minelab would soon have a disclosure up if salt water was an issue as hate to think how many have been used in the surf over the years since release and would have had many claim returns by now if it was an issue in any way ?

I really wouldn't be putting my SDC 2300 in salt water. It's fine in creeks in the golden triangle.
If I go beach detecting I use a waterproof coil on my X-Terra 705.
Just my 2cents

Real simple solution ...................... simply call Minelab and ask ? Any risk factor to machine at all and I'm pretty sure they will advise you of such
Given this info is on the Minelab Site in Treasure Talk pretty confident what the answer will be. :Y:

The bloody detector is waterproof. :Y:
End of story.
When I had mine, there was no problems on the beaches and salt water.

Guys I've been detecting 12years now the last five underwater (scuba), I've used a Garrett Infinium,Whites beach hunter,Fisher cz,and current Garrett Sea Hunter.Ive dived with them all been neck deep in the ocean,waist deep,they all handled the water well but they all looked old and beaten up after a while,even after every use I rinsed them all.I also own a SDC would I take that in the salt water NEVER.

My Garrett ATX was a much more robust machine than the SDC and it came with as small tube of synthetic grease to help seal the battery holder o-rings. I would have happily taken the ATX swimming but we'll never submerse the SDC even though the manual says it's ok to do so.
