MINELAB SDC 2300 Detector

I only have about 15 hours runtime on this unit so far but ill share what i know. Number one for me is the compact design. I go deep in the hills and it folds down to fit neatly in my backpack. Hits pretty deep relative to VLF but this is my first PI detector. Very user friendly. The preset controls are good to go but i am still learning the difference in sound for ferrous and non ferrous, deep and shallow. Battery life doesn't seem to affect signal strength. Solid construction, carbon fiber and durable whatever kind of plastic is used. The shaft length is long enough for a tall guy. I'm 6'6'' and it extends out far enough for me. Cons might be it is a little toe heavy. A small thing too is the battery compartment latch is a little awkward. It was a good purchase and i will update if i find otherwise.
