Why this skidplate
The SDC 2300 gets taken places other detectors are not even carried: canyon washes, shattered bedrock, flood-scoured creek beds. Its compact 8 in coil works pressed to that ground for entire trips, and the blue plate on its face is the part designed to lose the fight so the coil wins it. Replacing a worn plate costs less than a tank of fuel to the goldfields; replacing a ground-through coil housing costs real money and downtime in the middle of a season. Fresh plate on, wear layer restored, and the SDC goes back to being dragged across the planet's roughest gold ground the way it was built to be.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which coil does this fit?
The 8 in (20 cm) round coils on the Minelab SDC 2300, per dealer consensus. The blue color matches the SDC's factory skidplate.
Why does an SDC need a skidplate?
The SDC 2300 hunts the roughest ground in detecting, dry washes, exposed bedrock, creek cobble, with the coil worked right on the deck. The plate takes that abrasion instead of the coil housing.
How do I know it is time to replace?
Wear-through or cracking. The plate is the sacrificial layer; when it is gone, the next thing wearing is the coil itself.
