New Minelab detector coming soon

Could it be called the SDC 2300? I only say that because that was what the filename of the pic.

• Mid range - above xTerra 705 Gold Pack and Eureka Gold
• below GPX series
• Folds to 16 inches
• Waterproof
• Pulse induction (PI)
• Rumours of a Feb 2014 release

Does this look similar?

Finally Got Around to More Detecting

Finally got out this morning with my daughter Alicia and did some metal detecting with a handful of members from the Brisbane Metal Detecting Club.

We headed out to a public park located on Brighton Road, Sandgate in Brisbane.

A lot of trash came out of the ground but we did manage $3.12 and a Boy Scout button. Initially thought the button was military until it was washed.

Items: (found in this order)
20 cents x 3
$2 x 1
2 cents x 1
Boy Scout button
50 cents x 1 (mangled by lawn mower)

Sorry about poor quality pic (missing the $2 coin)

Good to finally get out and do some coin hunting.

XP Deus - V3.2 Update Now Available

Version 3.2 is now available, this revision fixes some points of the 3.1 update.

V3.2 will correct slow mineralization strength reading and also battery charge lever issues that were seen on some V3.1 units, also the Notch Ground function is now off by default.

Information: From V3 onwards the program DEUS FAST (or when REACTIVITY is adjusted to 3, 4 or 5)  has the SILENCER set at -1,  so the target separation is greatly improved. V3 software offers a huge advantage of for those searching in iron infested areas to get more targets. But If you prefer the cleaner iron rejection of V2 software you can simply increase your silencer setting to around 2.
