The Minelab SDC 2300 and MPF Technology Explained


Recommended Posts

From the Minelab Knowledge Base at http://www.minelab.com/__files/f/240330/KBA_23-1%20MPF%20Technology.pdf

Minelab’s SDC 2300 gold detector uses Multi Period Fast (MPF) Pulse Induction (PI) technology to give significant performance improvements over conventional PI metal detectors, for gold prospecting in mineralised ground. In this article, the inventor of MPF, Bruce Candy, explains further how the SDC 2300 works.

"You will find more small nuggets and fine-threaded specimen gold in mineralised soils with the SDC 2300 than any other gold detector, including the GPX 5000.” –Bruce Candy

So the respond is faster... faster respond mean more precison isn't it?

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.)?

The main issue would be enhanced sensitivity to ground minerals and hot rocks, which Minelab appears to be handling somewhat by using a lower power circuit than that on the GPX 5000 and using a version of Fine Gold / Enhance timings. The SDC does not have near the punch on larger targets as my GPX 5000 with 8" Commander coil especially when run in Normal or Sharp timings.
