The Minelab SDC 2300 is a compact, high-performance mid-range gold detector made for chasing elusive sub-gram nuggets on land and underwater. Its rugged folding design, Pulse Induction technology, and MPF performance make it a strong choice for remote goldfields, riverbeds, shorelines, and mineralized ground.
MPF, or Multi Period Fast technology, uses extremely fast Pulse Induction switching between transmit and receive detector signals.
This reduces residual transmit signal during the receive cycle and helps the SDC 2300 produce clear, sharp detection of very small gold.
The SDC 2300 folds to a small portable size of approximately 8.5" x 15.7", making it easy to carry into remote locations.
It fits into many backpacks and carry-on luggage, making it ideal for patch hunting, travel, and prospecting trips where space matters.
The SDC 2300’s mechanical platform has been designed and tested to military standards using high-quality materials for rugged prospecting conditions.
Folds down to a portable size of approximately 8.5" x 15.7" for easier transport into remote goldfields.
Fully submersible to 10 ft / 3 m for detecting riverbeds, shorelines, and transitioning from land to water.
One-piece detector with military-grade construction. No assembly required.
Search quickly and efficiently in hard-to-reach and remote places to find clustered gold deposits.
Very sensitive to small gold scattered in heavily mineralized ground, including gold often missed by other VLF and PI detectors.
Audio response provides target information through pitch, tone, amplitude, and duration for ferrous, non-ferrous, shallow, and deeper targets.
Compact, rugged, waterproof, and easy to carry into remote locations where gold patches may still be waiting.
Designed for gold prospecting on land, riverbeds, and shallow underwater environments.
The SDC 2300 is built for prospectors who need a compact detector that can handle difficult ground, remote locations, and small gold targets.
Its MPF Pulse Induction technology, rugged folding body, and waterproof design make it a practical choice for serious gold hunting on land and in shallow water.
The SDC 2300 is highly sensitive to small gold in heavily mineralized ground. These smaller gold finds can help lead the way to new patches and larger gold deposits.
It is especially useful in areas that may have already been searched with other detectors.
