- How To Set Up Minelab's SDC2300 Detector For Gold - The SDC 2300 is a great detector for finding gold and one of my favorites to use - and I've found lots of gold with it. In this video I talk about the adjustments for the 2300 and how to use it to find gold nuggets.
Here is my video about how to pinpoint targets quickly: • How to pinpoint gold n...

I just bought one SDC 2300. You video has enlightened me ⛏📸
I'm glad it was helpful.
Your book is fantastic my friend, definitely recommend it to anyone either for a hobbyist or professional. Fantastic Chris 🇦🇺🤠⛏️
Many thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
As always another fantastic video by Chris Ralph, the only thing I would add to this is how to check the battery status level and you hold down the hold down the noise, cancel button and then hit the threshold button and release it and it’ll show the battery level indicator on the LEDs but like I said another fantastic video by Chris Ralph thank you, Chris
You are too kind, my friend.
Howdy Chris, now we have the 6000 in the line up. See you in a few weeks my friend
Let me know what the current plan is.
I heard on the radio Folsom Lake is at such a low level, that a part of the lake bed is exposed, which hasn't been exposed for decades. The state is imposing fines for $250,000 if your caught digging or taking anything from the lake.
Last year I was there in July. I was collecting nice quartz rocks with my 6 yr old niece. I have cleaned the quartz & they all have beautiful shiny clusters that look like silver. I wish you could look at it and tell me what it is! I have good pics. 💖 Thank You for posting your knowledge! Looks like you are healing well!
As I have told you before, I dont offer a picture evaluation service.
@@ChrisRalph Chris, silly 🙃 I didn't know you had a protocol when viewing pics and/also I said "I wish you could" because I never imagined that you would be able to.
Anyways, hope you're healing nicely. I recently relocated to So. Cali. from Gold Country... looks like I won't be traversing throughout the water ways and finding my own treasures anytime soon😒... though I do have the beach and all her glory now 😄! tc
Thanks Chris I got something from your video today.
Glad I could help
i like that it folds up
The folding capability is really handy.
Great work fam. Keep the dream alive. Gold squad out!!!
Appreciate it
I have sawed off plenty of bolt heads, and hammered in many screws.
Glad you enjoyed it.
Fantastic video. Thank you for the detailed information on the sdc.
Glad you enjoyed it.
Good information, although I do wish pinpointing was that easy!
I’m over ten grams for the year now, just ticking away looking for the big one.
Stay safe.
Glad you enjoyed the video.
Enjoyed watching your video 🙂
Glad you enjoyed it.
Great info as always !!!! See you when you get back
I have limited internet access up here. Looks like that Dixie fire is burning up the country and all the national forest for miles around the fire is shut down.
@@ChrisRalph yep it's burning everything !!! went To Tim's dig Saturday had a great time. enjoy your time up North can't wait to see the video's !!!
watching again to steal any tips !!!! LOL
You've already found some gold with your detector. That's great!
@@ChrisRalph I like to think I've had good teachers !!!!! You , Bill Southern and Gary !!!!!!!
Looking forward to getting together with you and Gary when the snow melts in the high country.
@@ChrisRalph 95 here tomorrow it's melting fast !!!!!
'' TAHANK YOU ,,,
glad you enjoyed the video.
A better tool analogy might be trying to use a slotted screwdriver to drive or remove a Phillips head screw. After all, you use a screwdriver to drive screws, and you use a metal detector to detect metal. But it's a lot easier to use the Phillips head screwdriver on that Phillips-headed screw.
OK.
Chris, unfortunately I cant afford the SDC2300. But I do have a question,
I live in Texas and the closet known gold to where I live is found in the Llano River.
As you might know, here it's very fine gold, alot of times it sits in pockets worn into the limestone both in and at the edge of the river. (And other spots in that locale).
So the question is: will the fisher gold bug pro help me find these collections of gold or should I be looking in a different direction. Given that the price range of GBP is about my current budget. Thanks
No, a detector wont help you. Metal detectors respond to solid pieces of gold way better than accumulations of tiny pieces. So you will find that a metal detector that responds well to a tiny flake that weighs 1/10th of a gram will not respond at all to an 10 gram accumulation of 200 mesh dust sized gold where the individual particles weigh 1/1000 th of a gram - even though the total weight of the tiny dust particles together is much more. At all has to do with the physics of how metal detectors work.
Would you say this is prob the best option for checking crevasses with a fair amount of packed material in creek beds and such to find out if there is heavy, metallic objects of some kind, hopefully gold, maybe 6 to 8 inches deep ruffley. So I know which crevasses to work. I know it's crazy to spend 3400 bucks but the time it would save since I have 1 day a week to prospect would be well worth it. I'm mainly wondering this or a good smf detector like the nox with a very small coil do the same thing? I guess that makes sense,Look forward to your opinion when u get time, thanks.
Its an excellent detector and I use mine quite a bit.
i only have a gold monster. still have to get better with it. still haven't found the 42 pounder. have a good day
Best of luck to you on that 42 pounder.
The book is great, but that video taught me absolutely nothing about my detector and you left out a very important function
Maybe because you are a know-it-all.
@@ChrisRalph how bout we make a bet? If I can find a smaller piece with my SDC than you can find with yours… You have to take me metal detecting! 😁
Hi great video!! A question about the GM1000 when you're detecting with it does it sometimes loos its sound?
Like i have to turn the volume up all the way or off and on befor the sound comes back on, do you think this might be faulty machine?
Could be. hard to say with so little info.
Would you recommend hunting an area first with the VLF machine and then going over the area again with the PI machine.???? Thanks for your knowledge…..
Many friends of mine hunt with VLF detectors and find really nice and some BIG gold, the secret is knowing where the PI cannot or will not hunt. Example, areas with lots of trash, tailings piles full of nails, all I hear is trash everywhere, but VLF didn't hear anything but the nice 1/4 ounce finger nugget.
The trash filled road in the hydro pit, every one in the group detected and got trash, NOX got a nice 0.8 gram nugget, in the tire rut, and ignored all the iron.
The situation is complex and choosing which detector to use takes some knowledge.
Did you try to use GPA3000 do you heve eny experience for that.
You mean the GPX3000 by Minelab?
Thanks Ralph, have you tried the gpx 6000? It picking up good gold here in Australia
Not yet!
Do you have a vid on how to find old gold mines?
its a complex topic.
Dear Chris.
Could this device tell us the gold depth?
No.
Hi cris watching you for last two years prospecting😭😭😭
When do you help me find gold in my country
I dont travel as much as I used to.
@@ChrisRalph i want to get searching machines
Hi i have a rock here..i dont know if it contains gold.it shines like one.can you help me identify this?
Watch my video on how to identify minerals.

NO
Where can i send you the pic?
ID of pictures is way more difficult than you think, so I do not offer a picture ID service.
What headphones you use on your SDC I tried the factory ones there not that great what do you think about the pro Sonic unit
You'll need a special adapter to link the SDC to your other headphones.
