When I got to the site, it took only a few seconds to unfold the SDC 2300 and I was ready to start searching. Sure enough, there were plenty of small targets that had been left in the ground in this well worked patch, and while some of these were trash, some were gold! The SDC 2300 performed like a dream. I basically unfolded it, ground balanced and was digging targets in not more than a minute or two. The sounds and target responses it makes are very similar to those of other Minelab Pulse Induction detectors - it just hits on smaller targets than were possible for a PI before. I ran it over some spots with nasty ground mineralization and it just ignored the ground and the hot rocks - but it didn't ignore the gold.
I ended up with 8 nuggets for 2.7 grams on the first day out with the SDC, and 6 nuggets for 2.1 grams on the second day.
