Compact. Lightweight. Professional.
This pulse induction (PI) detector is built using technology trusted by militaries worldwide, so its focus is clear: ruggedness for harsh environments. Its unique folding design allows it to be compacted without disassembly, ensuring faster setup and easy portability. It features LED indicators, flexible audio options, and high sensitivity to small gold, making it ideal for all-terrain gold hunting. Waterproof up to 3 m (10 ft), it also includes Automatic Ground Tracking and Noise Cancel to maintain stability in various conditions. It can detect loose gold and nuggets (including small ones). Perfect for those needing a tough, compact PI detector ready for work anywhere.
Feature
MPF™ technology makes gold signals clearer—especially for small gold—and maintains stability across various terrains. Ideal for finding loose gold or nuggets.
High-Performance MPF™ Technology
SDC 2300 weighs 2.3 kg and folds down to a compact 40 cm—quick to unfold and fold without disassembly; ready for Gold Detecting when frequently moving between spots.
Compact and Rugged Design
8” Monoloop coil, waterproof to 3m (sealed electronics)—ideal for tight areas like streambeds; remains responsive. Great for finding gold in wet, confined spots.
Fully submersible...
The SDC 2300 uses 9 LEDs and audio tones to estimate target size and depth: soft/low tones indicate small or deep targets, while loud/high tones indicate large or shallow ones. This allows for quick decisions before digging.
Visual and Audio Target Response
High-Performance MPF Technology
MPF (Multi-Period Fast) technology utilizes a Pulse Induction system with ultra-fast switching between Transmit (Tx) and Receive (Rx) signals. This rapid transition minimizes residual "interference" from the transmit phase when entering the receive phase, resulting in sharper, clearer signals. Consequently, the detector is more accurate at picking up tiny gold targets, aiding in the search for loose gold or small nuggets. Ideal for those hunting fine gold flakes who require cleaner signal readings.
Military-Grade Construction
Built with military-grade materials, this detector is made for durability in extreme environments. The carbon-fibre shafts stay rigid and durable for rough terrain and long-term performance. From sharp rocks to dense scrub and dry creek beds, every component is engineered to withstand the demands of serious gold seekers.
Fully submersible...
This 8” Monoloop coil is waterproof up to 3 m (10 ft), featuring sealed electronics and a rugged housing—making it easy to use from dry land to underwater areas Its compact size fits tight spaces like rocky gullies, streambeds, and uneven terrain, while delivering reliable sensitivity and precision in challenging conditions. It helps locate loose gold and nuggets. Ideal for those who frequently hunt in "complex" terrain and need an agile coil.
Lightweight + Compact
SDC 2300 is lightweight (2.3 kg / 5.1 lbs) and folds compactly to 40 cm (15.7 in), fitting easily into a backpack or carry-on luggage. Simply unfold in seconds and start hunting for gold immediately. Ideal for those who frequently move spots and need a practical tool.
