GOLD FOUND! Minelab SDC 2300 Got One or Thinking of Getting One-Watch This!
Today we will talk about the Minelab SDC 2300 metal detector as well as doing a bit of gold nugget hunting here in Arizona. It sure is nice to have temps in the 70s now and hunting gold nuggets is back on full steam ahead.

Enjoy your videos, Bill. I just got my SDC 2300 this week. Your videos featuring the machine and all the info you share helped me make my choice. Keep it up, man. Good hunting.
Got my order Bill. Thanks so much for answering all my questions and making the transaction so darn easy. I'm always amazed at how fast you get stuff to my doorstep. Great info and nice gold buddy. Wishing you all the best. Good luck, happy hunting and take care.

Nice work Bill, and thanks for the knowledge.
Beautiful nugget, after digging nail, bullet, broken horse shoe, tack, rolled up foil, casing which I'm good at finding and finally a gold nugget makes your heart jump and puts a great big smile on me.

Any nugget makes for a good day ! Thanks for sharing Bill ! 🤠⚒⛏👍
That is an interesting chunk. Thanks for the tips.
Used my friends sdc one time and really liked it, easy to use and way more sensitive to small gold then the GPX 's even with a sadie or evo coil.
Bill, I like the format of this video. In office machine overview and then directly to the field detecting for Gold. Nice

I love how you can use the coil on its edge to detect in crevices
Thanks for the info an honest chat about the sdc, as I've been thinking of purchasing one. I have the gold monster but when I'm in hot ground the monster is just way to noisy. So PI machine is needed. Great vid keep them coming. Subscribion earned. 👍Jules from Just Pan It in Tasmania Australia 🍻👍

I also have 3 mates here in Australia using the small pointy one and there also working great and they say there great in the thick bush - grass areas and pick up real small targets, so i plan to buy one soon, the only down side with the coiltek coils is there not water proof but okay to use in a little rain. Also if you get the lose battery sudden turn offs we put a roll of tape as wide as the battery once around the battery with a 5mm over lay and then no more sudden shut off restarts. I enjoy watching your videos
I just love seeing you get gold out there Bill, congrats , that nugget was strange looking ! Steve.

wish we had gold big enough for a detector to find around here! the gold seems to be fly speck and mini micro fine, it would be nice to have a machine that would point that out it save a lot of wear on the back! 60s sounds beautiful after seeing it was only +2F. this morning!

Morning Bill! Question regarding the SD2300. There are several videos on how to operate the SDC, but since it doesn’t offer a readout to help the user identify if the target is ferrous or non ferrous, perhaps you would consider making a video drawing on your own experience interpreting the signals. I know learning to identify diggable “gold signals” comes through experience and getting to know your machine, but you have a wealth of experience and knowledge your viewers could benefit from. Just a thought. Have a great day “my friend”.

I dig ALL targets Jeff, there is no discrimination on the 6000 and 7000 either. Discrimination on a gold detector is not reliable and will cause one to walk away from gold. Even on my Equinox 800 and Gold Monster 1000 i NEVER use discrimination when hunting nuggets
thanks for the video someday I'll get me a new detector !!!!!!

Good little nugget, like a kangaroo. I would love one of those 2300 they bout 5k au, I have my GMonster only. Very hard in the western Australian gold fields with the Gm.. It s what I have and Can afford. I'm going out for a run this week around Coolgardie area about 500 to 600 Ks away from Perth hope to find some nuggets in the hot weather

Hi Bill, can you show us how u first start up the machine. Do u put it on the ground or hold it in the air? You say it gets deep gold but ive never had that. I change back and forth between my 2300 and my 4800. Yes its a 4800. Not many around.
One of those on my x-mass list minelab sdc 2300 if you can swing it Santa,I've been good.lol
The nugget kind of looked like a mushroom at the end there. It's always better to find that cholla before it finds you!!
I’m always interested in PI especially the SDC.. The 3k+ is a bit of a deal killer for me.. however I keep looking at it? The light weight of my GM1000, GB2 and older Whites GM2 are so light and convenient it’s difficult to justify a high performance SDC 2300. Question sir.. maybe you can pass along to Minelabs.. the GM1000 li-on battery is over a 100 bucks? I have trouble paying 100+ bucks for a 7.2v li-on backup battery that is hugely expensive? 20 bucks is more inline.. I can screw around and build a much higher performance backup li-on for 20 bucks.. most can’t and are forced to buy or use the lousy AA pack? I am not impressed with the over priced li-on battery and charging 100+ is totally out of line? New Replacement li-on battery for my drone 20 bucks, OEM GoPro battery 15 bucks? They need to come to grips with this battery pricing. However I really like the GM1000 and is a fairly good price.. li-on battery not so much. Really enjoy your channel Bill! Keep swinging dude! ✌️PT

While you're 'guessing' what one target is, based on the lack of a VDI readout; I've already covered 10+ targets-that are all iron, aluminum, junk, etc. A VDI readout show the number range that gold reads out at. But you wanna dig 30+ mins- on one target based on a detector's guess... This unit is overpriced, just like the Gold Monster. You WILL dig almost every target with this unit, and it takes ONE HOUR to dig out a 1ft deep target- in the tough caliche desert ground. I've used Garrett ATX's, GBII's, etc, both with no VDI readout-and got rid of them. Sure; the sound has alot to do with these units-but a VDI readout gives me a conclusion instantly. Save yourselve's a pile of money, folks; get an Equinox 800, even a Whites MXT. Ive' been trying to tell buyers for a couple years that; the Minelab Gold Monster and similar non-VDI units are hyped-up detectors. My 14 year old Whites MXT will hit a nickel at 16 inches; the equivelant to a one ounce gold nugget, (With the smaller Eclipse 5.3 mono coil,)It will hit a #8/.080 birdshot bb also. Maybe folks will wise up and stop dropping a $1,000.00 bucks and more-on the GM and SDC2300.

Thanks for the review! I've been considering the SDC for some time now, really like how it folds down, gets tiring having my VLF sticking up out of my backpack when I'm hiking into an area. If it can hear that led shot I'm sure it will hear the small gold in my area.
