SD 2200 any good?

[Vance in AK]

Right now I do not have a PI detector but am thinking I would like to have one for my occassional visits to AZ and places here in AK where it might work better than my VLF machines.
Value? One just came available locally for $1000 but not sure thats a bargain...

Well from doing some checking the price was definettly high so I did some negotiating. The machine was an sd 2100 v2
She surprised me and changed the price drastically based on the info from a couple of classifieds I sent her.
Not sure if I should celebrate or not but I dont think I got hurt...
Two complete sd 2100v2 detectors, each with 12 & 120v chargers, 1 AZO backpack, one belt pack RPG PH-100RA(Never heard of them so assume junk?) . They were packed in an AZO soft case, and a hard archery case.
A Martin prospecting Miller table complete, and a complete Gold Miner spiral wheel setup. Total was $1100.

I've had a bunch of different minelab sets & I really liked being able to mount the smaller battery right to the detector. I just grabbed a link, and I'm sure there are better prices out there, but here it is -

Thanks Reed. I saw those but voltage runs from a low of 7.2 to a fully charged 8. The batteries with the detectors are 6v. Issues with increased foltage?

Update... Just went to manafactures sight & he has one with a regulator for the Sd 2100s. Thanks!

Nice catch of gold hunting equipment.

I found a lot of nuggets with the 2100--a great PI machine. It lacks many of the bells and whistles of the newer PI's, but you don't really need them to find nuggets. The basic design of the 2100 is a proven gold getter.

All the best, and congrats on the extras you gathered in as well,
