    Minelab SDC2300 information and questions

    Thing is that the rest of the knuckle is no where near waterproof. I wonder if its purpose is to keep the coil from moving too freely. Bear

    Minelab SDC2300 information and questions

    Thanks Mate Yeah I saw that one. He doesn't take apart the swivel section where this Oring is though. It does show me how to get the cable out from the control box which is good. I imagine I will have to thread the O-ring from that end down to the knuckle where this O-Ring sits. I'm still...

    Minelab SDC2300 information and questions

    Hi all, My sdc coil has been difficult to swivel and started making a squeaking noise. The adjustment bolts backed all the way didnt help much.

    House solar panels

After the panels we are usually around 100 to 200$. My wife recons we paid off the panels last year. We only have a...

    Interesting bird band find

    I went for a swing this morning at a local park that I have flogged pretty hard. Im surprised I still find anything there aside from junk. Today my first find looked like kids jewellery and I put it in my coin pouch though normally it would go in the trash bag lol. When I got home I cleaned it...

    SD2200D Upgrade to GPX5000

    Hi All I have a SD2200D that works well and I have a coil collection to go with that detector. I use that detector and my SDC2300 as my gold hunting combo. Recently I've been tempted with all the GPX4500 and 5000's that have come on the market probably due to the 6000's release. Have any of you...

    Coil Compatibility With Older Minelab Detectors?

    Hello all I have an older SD2200d with a good selection of coils. Ive been thinking recently with all the good sales on 4500s and 5000s that I might upgrade. Does anyone know if my coils from the SD will work on the newer GPX units? Cheers Bear
