Bear Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Glad to see Simon is back. I know there are previous posts about SDC battery compartment seal, I had problems with mine this summer. Here is the background that I have posted about before. I dredge in an old cut that wasn’t cleaned that good into the bedrock. The bedrock is a quartz muscovite schist that through frost shattering and dissolution is deeply weathered making it easy to dredge into for a couple of feet. Because it is a cut the water is always murky and work is done by feel. A couple of years ago I dug a big section that I thought was cleaned up. Previously I seen a guy use an Excalibur to check where he had dredged so I took the SDC in. There was targets so dredged deeper and recovered a couple more nuggets. Now this has become standard practice. This summer while changing the batteries there was water in the battery compartment. I cleaned and dried the compartment. Also cleaned the seal and the machine worked fine but I would like to change it. Through a search nobody sells replacements? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AussieMatt Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Maybe contact your closest Minelab dealer & see if they can source one? Funny that they have kits advertised for the CTX/GPZ but nothing for the SDC. The Minelab part number is 4309-0075. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
