Minelab New Detector Planned

"New model After the Minelab 5000? There has been a lot of rumours about an impending new model of the Minelab 5000"

We only discussed that in the last newsletter and were told by Minelab that there will not be one for a while.

But of course they were speaking of a replacement for the Minelab 5000 which will not happen for at a minimum 12 months.

However it appears that in response to market needs (and maybe the emergence of the Garrett ATX PI) there will be a new Pulse Induction detector which will fit somewhere between the XTerra 705 and Minelab 5000. It is the Minelab SDC2300, here is a picture and link to their site.

New Minelab Metal Detector - SDC2300 .

Other Gifts

A Hipstick or Control Arm

It can be tiring when you out out detecting for a few hours with a detector without a control arm or a hipstick.

A Control arm ($50 to $60) makes the Detector easier to swing and takes some pressure off your should and and swing arm and a hipstick takes the pressure off your shoulders and back and transfers the weight to you hips.

My wife Sue is a real fan of the hipstick and would not be able to detect as long without it.

Spare Stuff for The Bush

A Spare Bungy kit and bow knuckle ($25-$30).

A Spare lower shaft ($45)

A Spare Minelab 12v Vehicle charger $35)
