Maybe it's a bit different in Australia, but the SDC the dealer showed me came with a charger that took inputs from a 12V car cigarette lighter OR a wall socket plug pack. Was not a "minelab" charger though, so they might give away different chargers that have other adaptors for different countries etc. someone from the USA who actually bought one might be able to answer this though... Anyway, pretty sure when you buy one here the charger works in your car. The dealer said around 7hrs of use from a full charge of the C cells that came with it - pretty much the right amount of time, before it's time for an overnight charge anyway!

Sounds interesting. I get why the fast turn off time could really help for finding small gold but Steve, can you see any reason why this would hurt the big target signals, or would it be just as good on bigger targets (within its limits, as set by the fixed coil etc.)?

I've never been particularly impressed by any pinpointers, so I don't use one - even though I love the idea because it could save so much time. However, a PI pinpointer is an interesting idea so it might be time for me to rethink my stance. The price sounds okay too.
