A Little California Gold with SDC 2300

[steve herschbach]

Chris Ralph and I spent the last couple days at a location he knew of, each of us with our SDC 2300 detectors. We found 79 nuggets totaling nearly a half ounce in total. Chris got the most gold, as is fitting since it is his location - thanks Chris! I got 27 nuggets at 5.3 grams total. The smallest piece in lower right hand corner is only 0.7 grains on my freshly calibrated digital powder scale. That's 0.045 grams. The largest nugget is 0.67 grams. Great little machine for pulling small gold out of hot ground. Yeah, other detectors would have found some of this gold. I am not trying to convince anyone otherwise. The point is the SDC does it and does it easily, with no fuss or muss, no magic settings or coils, and virtually no ground or hot rock response.

Sounds like a great unit as finding them dinks is no easy task. Always a great way to pass a few days. John

Hi John,

Hope life is treating you well and you are getting out to find some gold yourself!

Here is my gold take from this same location. I was there working this spot for a couple days prior to Steve's arrival, so I have a few more nuggets from that effort. It was a great little trip, good gold, good company, beautiful weather and a fun detector like the SDC 2300 that makes gold digging easy. What more could you ask for?

A good friend indeed. That speaks highly of the machine and its operator. Great fun and finds. HH

So, is this machine better than the similar Garrett and is there a comparison test somewhere?
Will it still hit the bigger gold as well as the small stuff, at the same time?
Must be nice to have money for every new machine but I can't afford to do that anymore
with retirement age just over the horizon. Gots to save that money now and keep my credit card debt down.
Oh well, maybe I should sell some detectors? Which ones? PulseStar 2, MXT, AT Pro...TDi,...
Nice to see the gold anyways...

Nice chunky bits of gold for the both of you!

Where did you say that was exactly? Lol


Here in this pic is my gold haul so far this summer...

You guys are very fortunate to have gold on the ground like this, beautiful. I know it does not come easy and you put your time in. I was in many states but never California.

Nice, hoping to get me some of those this weekend.
