Thanks Jack and Teddy. Gotta love our furry friends! I used to have a Ted (Theodore), an amazing English Bull Dog. What a great little guy. I do miss my four legged prospecting companions but my wife and I have opted for smaller pooches these days. Just got two miniature dachshund puppies to harass our existing dachshund. Absolutely nuts, they are a joy to watch blasting around the house. If life gets me down nothing like a puppy for a quick pick me up.

Best wishes to you and Teddy in the field!

Hi Rick,

Congratulations on being the first member. It will be interesting to see if the forum gets off the ground. There are plenty of forums out there but this one is rare in that it is not dealer owned or operated. That removes lots of constraints. Thanks for the vote of confidence!

I added the upcoming Minelab SDC 2300 metal detector to my website in the Equipment section. I will update this with new information as soon as it is available. The next release of information by Minelab is slated for January 31, 2014. According to the Codan (owner of Minelab) announcement at http://www.codan.com.au/Portals/0/investorpubs/2013%20Business%20Update%20and%20Profit%20Guidance.pdf the detector will be on the market in April 2014 but of course this could change.
