First Gold Nugget with the Minelab SDC 2300 Metal Detector
Checkout my video of the first gold nugget I found with the brand new Minelab SDC gold nugget detector!
Video Transcript:
Yeah, this is Rob with Rob’s Detector Sales, and this is my first day out with the new Minelab SDC 2300, and like I said I had a couple of places in mind, where I wanted to specifically take this new pulse induction gold detector, and within not even 15 or 20 minutes of the initial hunt I was able to score this little tiny nugget. Now the nugget was laying right there down in that particular area on the bedrock (motioning), and I ended up pushing the thing around for quite some time before I was able to pinpoint it…but you can actually see the nugget, it’s right there (zooming in on gold nugget), it’s really small, I’d say it’s probably one grain – one and a half grain, it’s really small, and I’ve got the external speaker on right now, I’m just going to give you an idea…I’m just in the factory setting (screaming tones as waved over nugget)…extremely sensitive to that little tiny nugget, I mean, I’m really impressed by the sensitivity. Now let me take that back, I’m actually on “3”, which is just one setting over factory, which is “2” (showing SDC control dial), so…I’m in “3”, and I’m running just the external speaker right now, but it gives you an idea (more loud tones), that little nugget just screams. And like I said, I pushed it around a while. I thought it was a little piece of trash.
Minelab seemed to do it again with this new machine. I’ve got a lot of places I want to pack into, and do a lot of prospecting, so I’m going to be real impressed to see what happens with this new detector. I’ll keep you updated, like I said, this is Rob with Rob’s Detectors, we’re out of Surprise, Arizona, you can catch us online at www.robsdetectors.com. Thank you!

Metal Detecting with the new Minelab SDC 2300 Metal Detector for Gold Nuggets
I recently published a video of a great day in the field with the new Minelab SDC 2300 gold nugget detector.
Video Transcript:
Yeah, this is Rob, with Rob’s Detector Sales, and I’m testing the new SDC 2300…and I just found a little nugget, probably about 10 minutes ago. And I just scanned this bedrock here, and cleaned it out… (huge audible tones!) Got a really good target…thought for sure it was just going to be a big piece of iron rubbish, but if you look right down here (zooming in), I cleaned it out, right down on the bedrock right there, is a nice chunky nugget…see if I can get it out of there. Yeah, that’s one’s a good pennyweighter, and I thought with that screaming response, it was going to be trash…but a pretty nice nugget, found right here on bedrock, using the new Minelab SDC 2300: waterproof, collapsible, pulse induction gold-finding detector. Pretty impressed! The second nugget within a half-hour. Looking forward to picking some more nuggets out of this gulch… will keep you updated. This is Rob with Rob’s Detectors, out here in Surprise, Arizona, you can see us online at www.robsdetectors.com, have a good one!

Are you going to have the next big find?
With the technology of Minelab’s Pulse Induction metal detectors it’s very possible to find nuggets that have missed for years. What would you do with a 11 Pound gold nugget?

Ok, you can kind of see the hole now…I’m actually down to bedrock. I dug down a few more inches, and it was a gold nugget!…not as big as I expected. But then again, these…any of the GP Series, anything from about the 3500 all the way up to the 4500 are just amazing on small nuggets at depth. This is the nugget I found…I’m going to say it’s about a penny weight. Nothing phenomenal, but a nice find. Like I said, it’s definitely been overlooked. I’d definitely say with the 4500 and the 18.5″ coil is the reason I found it [where] other guys missed it before. I’ll continue on up here, hopefully to find some more. I don’t know if it pays for gas, but it’s sure fun to find them! Talk to you later!

Video Transcript:
I’m up in a small placer area where other guys have been working. This area’s been placered pretty good. I’m working up here with the GPX 4500, and one of the new Coiltek 18.5″ elliptical Gold Stalker coils. Got a target about down a foot. At the surface it was just a whisper, almost walked away from it…scratched a few inches, and continued to dig down. It’s gotten louder, it may be a piece of trash…obviously I’m hoping it’s a nugget. I can kind of stick the coil down in there and… (detector whistling) it’s kind of hard to hear because I don’t have an external speaker, but I’ve got the headphones around my neck…there’s definitely a good target down there. I’m going to continue to dig it up and get back with you. Wish me luck!
