I am a Minelab dealer in Japan, and we are promoting the SDC 2300 as the best gold detector for detecting conditions in Japan. Most gold is found in or near water here, so a waterproof unit is a must. Our gold prospecting season was cut short by a rainy year, 3 typhoons, and early snow, but in the brief periods when we could take Minelab owners on gold prospecting field trips they found gold that most other detectors can't. Some bits didn't even wiggle the scale, but the SDC detected them.
