Denver Bryan Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Hey guys I just got my new SDC last week. I see a lot of folks on youtube using a cover for the control box portion of the metal detector. Is this something any of you guys use? If so, can you recommend a particular one? Thanks! PS, I plan on taking this detector with me backpacking.

Steve Herschbach Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 I liked to use a cover on my GPX and GPZ, but not so sure I’d want to on an SDC 2300. Seems like it would interfere with folding and stowing. Nice thing about an SDC, just hose it off. My old SDC... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold Catcher Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 I used several covers but only one is robust enough to recommend it. I bought three accessories for my sdc: cover, stand and kuckle guard. The knuckle guard is THE most important thing to buy for the SDC as the coil knuckle quickly wears off!

Denver Bryan Posted July 23, 2020 Author Share Posted July 23, 2020 Thanks Gold Catcher for the recommendation... Cover: Do you have to remove the cover to fold up the SDC? Stand: Very cool. I had not seen this before. Knuckle guard: I got one on the way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denver Bryan Posted August 12, 2020 Author Share Posted August 12, 2020 Oops, it says you can indeed fold the detector without removing the cover right in the description. I went ahead and ordered one from their ebay store you linked me to. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just open the front straps but you can leave the p on. Then, flip the stand and it is ready to go in the backpack 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold Catcher Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Sorry, the pic somehow pasted on my message. No you don't. Just open the front straps but you can leave the back strap on. Then, flip the stand and it is ready to go in the backpack 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
