I'm not making this stuff up u know. Most of the time I can eventually get my sov to signal on the tough targets but it takes quite a bit of wiggling and moving around. But I'd probably just pass it if I was hunting normal and the etrac hadn't sniffed it out first. Like I said earlier, I've done a lot of side by sides with the 2 and before I had etrac I would check signals from the etracs & explorers I was hunting with and have def had some signals the sov just couldn't id. Not sure where everyone else is from but here in CT it's the truth. Not a huge deal but we've got a lot of grounds that go back to the 1600's and that 1 target you miss could be just about anything. 1700's coins aren't that uncommon and I always feel more confident with etrac. That's in my neck of the woods though. I sure can't speak for anyone else.
