Lets try to keep it civil and on topic. :perfect: Good luck on the rally tomorrow!

Ripper nugget, Bluecurrant! Gotta love the SDC. :perfect:

Isolation is just making a general comparison -and one I would certainly agree with. A lot comes down to just how well you know and operate the detector (regardless of type). You will certainly do okay in factory presets on most models, but you can do really well if you know how to push a...

Just thinking out aloud, but at guessing from the name alone we'd be looking at a relic machine just logically going by previous names GPX, GPZ, SDC etc. Although I guess the CTX is in that same moniker of name labeling so you never know what's around the corner. Seems strange to be offering a...

Link is now fixed to offer the correct sign up page. :Y:

There's another reason to have the SDC handy (or in combination with any detector really?) that I'll add to the good info above and that is simply that you can use the SDC in all weather situations without an issue. I certainly wouldn't risk the Zed or GPX in the wet weather as they aren't...

It can get tedious for sure, particularly on those high EMI days. You will definitely get used to it after a bit of time. :Y: Back when I first started out detecting I'd get the sensation of still hearing the threshold whistle after I stopped swinging or when trying to get to sleep. I used to...

Noticed the same thing many times over the years also Bacchus. All detectors will have their own little unique nuances and anomalies, particularly when dealing with tiny electrical components that may be soldiered differently or parts that have super subtle changes in conductivity/resistance...

Cheers for the testing info Bacchus. Much appreciated! :Y: Are you just running the SDC's speaker or headphones? Really interested to see how these handle in hotter ground with the slightly broader ground sampling size. Sometimes you get a nice surprise on a real world target with depth or...

It's a real beauty Stoneage! Surprised it hasn't been snapped up?

Do you know if you're close to any 4G towers or aircraft flight paths, 22? If not, then I wonder if it's a channel issue with the Auto Tuning? We noticed last year in the Central West that the newly installed 4G microwave towers wreak absolute havoc on detectors when at full broadcast power. It...

What a beautiful lump SC! Good to see you back at it and getting results that we all dream of once again! :drooling: Nice work Nightjar. Certainly pays to have a close look at those Ironstone hot rocks at times! What a little beauty. :Y: Cheers, Shauno.

Sing out if you want the topic closed Dam It, though personally I'd say give it just a bit longer... It's a shame to see these haven't sold. I'd say the price is pretty decent actually. :perfect:

Hi Roel, Overall I'd say the best risk management is to simply not detect or ever be in those areas, however that simply isn't a viable or manageable option in any way. I guess it's a similar case for those of us who still live in Fibro-Asbestos houses (in this case it's 29 years and counting...

This is good to see being finalised and offers a somewhat new lease of life for the SDC's. My SDC ran out of warranty sometime last year anyway. I've had it since 2nd week of release though I sent it to Minelab back in Jan. for a thorough checkup and got the all-clear with minor main board...

This thread has run it's course so we'll leave it here for now.

For sure NE! Some days were worse, some better, but that was a pretty average ratio for that trip overall. The worst day was around 150ish junk targets compromising mostly bird shot and tiny bits of rusty junk. Not a bit of yellow to be seen. That was a loooong day... I still have about 2/3...

I hear that! After many years of digging junk you definitely start to ask yourself a few questions. I found my first couple of nugs at EB with a Sadie on the 5000 and I've seen many do very well with the GPX's there over the years. Don't forget to check out the Stuart Town Common while you're...

G'day Greg, It's been a well known and well worked area for many years, but the best advice I could offer is to take an SDC as the nugs still left about are quite small and fairly shallow -with the odd exception of those deeper gram+ bits here and there. Be aware that the junk can get very...

Have a good trip across Steveo! Look after yourself over there. :Y:
