Brand: MinelabSKU: SDC-2300Price: Contact us for pricing
The Minelab SDC 2300 is a compact, high-performance gold detector purpose-built for chasing elusive sub-gram nuggets on land and underwater.MPF (Multi Period Fast) pulse induction technology gives it lightning-fast Transmit/Receive switching, so it stays sensitive to the smallest gold even in heavily mineralized ground.
Built to military-grade specifications, the SDC 2300 folds down to a compact 40 cm one-piece unit with no assembly required — unfold it and start detecting straight from your backpack, whether you're prospecting dry desert ground or wading through a shallow wadi.
Is the SDC 2300 the right detector for a first-time gold hunter?
It's a strong choice for someone serious about small gold specifically, but it's a specialised prospecting tool rather than an all-round detector. For gold-only prospecting in tough ground it shines from day one, since it needs no assembly and has automatic ground balance.
Can I actually use it underwater in a wadi or on the shore?
Yes — the whole detector is rated for submersion to three metres, so you can work streambeds and shorelines without any weather cover. The supplied ML100 headphones are wired and should stay above water.
Do I get a warranty and after-sale support in the UAE?
Yes — every unit ships with the full 3-year Minelab warranty on the control box and coil, plus local after-sale support in Abu Dhabi.

The SDC 2300 combines fast MPF pulse induction with a rugged, no-assembly build, giving you strong results on small and deep gold without unnecessary complexity.
The SDC 2300 runs Minelab's Multi Period Fast pulse-induction system, engineered around fast switching between transmit and receive so that tiny, faint gold signals come through clearly instead of being masked by ground noise.
No assembly, no tool kit, no tightening rods before every hunt. The whole detector folds down to about 40 cm and unfolds in seconds, so it fits inside a backpack and is ready to swing straight out of the bag.
The entire unit — control housing, coil and shaft — is submersible to three metres, which lets you move directly from dry desert ground into a wadi bed or shoreline without changing gear.
