Here is one of Minelab’s first gold detectors up for sale. I think it’s a bit pricey for what it is. I guess they didn’t make that many of them or you don’t see them around too often. Anyhow, a relic from Minelab’s past. The Minelab Goldseeker 15000.

Announcing the new Electronic Prospecting forums at Goldplacer.com, featuring a forum dedicated to SD2100 users.

Let’s talk about mods, settings, advantages, coils, accessories and whatever else regarding the simple, yet powerful SD2100.

Hope to see you there soon.

Trevor responded to a query I made on Rob’s Nugget Hunting forum and indeed, the Coiltek DD Pro Elite series will work on all the SD series detectors. He just explained that the improvements in stability were best on the models mentioned.

Others inquired as to the actual availability of these coils and Trevor mentioned that they were still in testing and that they might be available  in the U.S. sometime in early 2008.

Well, not exactly. They have released one coil, the 14″ DD Pro Elite. Other popular sizes will follow. I guess it takes time to unleash these evil dogs. Anyhow, according to Coilteks release statement, we should expect to get “quieter operation and stability” in mild to heavy mineralized soil along with “heightened sensitivity and optimized response to deep targets”. “These coils go deeper” is something they have avoided saying directly. Their press release states that these coils will work with the SD2200, GP Extreme, GP 3000 and GP 3500. They state that the coils will “still operate well” with the GPX4000 but that the coils show their best performance with the earlier models.

Not the SD2100 apparently. Has Coiltek left SD2100 users out in the cold? There is NO mention of the SD2100 in the release materials. We shall see…
