The Minelab SDC 2300 is a compact gold-prospecting detector using ultra-fast MPF pulse induction technology, with a fully collapsible design (no disassembly required) that folds down to just 40cm for easy backpack carrying. Waterproof to 3 meters for searching directly in riverbeds and on beaches, with automatic ground balance, a dedicated saline-ground mode, and 9 LED indicators showing signal strength and battery level — built to military-grade standards for prospecting the toughest terrain without any assembly.
The SDC 2300 is built on technology used in equipment trusted by armed forces worldwide — a pulse induction (PI) detector engineered for durability in harsh environments. Its unique folding design compresses the unit without disassembly, for quick setup and easy transport.
MPF (Multi Period Fast) technology uses ultra-fast pulse switching between transmit and receive, reducing residual interference during reception and delivering clearer signals and more precise detection of the smallest gold pieces.
Weighing just 2.3 kg and folding down to 40cm for easy transport in a bag, it uses an 8 inch round Monoloop coil that is waterproof to 3 meters, with continuous automatic ground tracking, a dedicated Salt mode for saline environments, and 9 LED indicators showing battery level and response strength.
Key Features
High-performance MPF technology
ultra-fast pulse switching for clearer signal response.
Compact folding design
folds down to 40cm without disassembly.
Fully waterproof to 3 meters
tightly sealed electronics.
Military-spec-grade materials
rigid carbon shaft to withstand rough terrain.
Automatic ground tracking
Normal and Salt modes to adapt to any soil.
9 LED indicators
clear visual and audio response to target size and depth.
Two battery options
rechargeable lithium-ion pack or C alkaline batteries.
High-Performance MPF Technology
ultra-fast switching between transmit and receive reduces interference and improves signal clarity for more precise detection of small gold, even in mineralized ground.
Automatic Ground Tracking
Normal mode suits most ground, while Salt mode is dedicated to saline, highly mineralized environments such as beaches and salt lakes, with continuous tracking of soil changes.
Noise Cancel
a single button manually cancels electromagnetic interference to keep performance stable.
Audio & Visual Response
9 LED indicators paired with audio tones reflect target size and depth — a low, quiet tone for small or deep targets, and a high tone for large or shallow targets.
