    Is there any thing modern that compares to the SOV

    I managed to pick up a few Sovs up over the years (XS, XS2-Pro, XS2a-Pro in various configs)). I prefer them over my Etrac. I guess the Sov is a simpler machine for a simpler time (and simpler digger), but still gets the job done in dirt and sand.

    FS: 2 ML BBS Coils for Parts-Repair

    For Sale: $60 includes shipping 2 Minelab BBS Coils 800 & 1000, and connector parts. (see attachments) They did not work when I received them, I had an electrician replace the connectors (old ones were broken) with replacements from Minelab. The coils send signals when connected to an XS...

    Sov coil Connectors and pin outs

    Hi all. I came across 2 Sov Tornado coils 8" & 10" a while ago. I have a friend trying to bring them back to life. The problem is, I need 2 new coil connectors and the pin outs for them. ML won't give out the info, because its a company secret... REALLY? On discontinued and unsupported...

    Bought another Sov

    I made a deal recently for a working ML Sov XS-2a Pro, S shaft, working Detech Excellerator-S 5" coil, 8" BBS coil (broken wires at the connector) & 10" BBS coil (probably a broken wire). All for $200 shipped. I'm curious if I did ok. Also, what are the chances of getting the coils back to...

    Some time to myself

    I took Friday off after having to put dog to sleep the day before. I just needed some time to myself. I went to a park that is known for colonial finds. I didn't find anything colonial, but I did find (along with assorted trash) a zipper tag, 27 cents, a Chuckee Cheese token, a plated shamrock...

    Yard sale Fishers

    I spotted a yard sale ad that said metal detector. So I wake up early on my speed in day and drive out. After I get there and fend off the other yard sale Hawks (a very aggressive bunch... Like territorial seagulls), I see the MD... Or should I say 2. Two Fishers, 1265x, 1280x, and headsets...

    Trip to Western Florida

    I'll be in western Florida in 23 days. We have a nice place on the beach in Sanibel Island. Which detector would you take? E-Trac (stock) or Sovereign XS with meter and S-12 coil I can't take both, need room for a fishing rod.

    Outing #1 for the year... 4 ring day... Kinda

    Got to get out for about 4 hours, first hunt of the season at my favorite local park with my Etrac. Finds: Lots of slaw, 18 pull tabs, 12 bottle caps, bracelet, $2.35 in clad, tiny jewelry tag (size of a pencil eraser), a Vietnam Vets pin, 3 rings, and an earring (see... KINDA!). Sadly the...

    Garrett, Minelab, & Kellyco-Minelab Repair centers.

    It's been a hard year for my equipment (and my first year... 6 months really). Keep in mind, all my gear was purchased used. Since my season is over, I figured it was time to get my gear fixed up. I sent my AT Pro into Garrett for a PP issue. Garrett replaced the main board with the latest...

    Garrett Service :thumbup:

    I purchasesd a used Garrett AT Pro about mid summer. Since then, it's seen the ocean, beach, parks, school yards and colonial sites. It's taught me quite a bit, and frustrated me as well. During that time I noticed the PP switch started acting up. Working intermittently. Called Garrett CS, they...

    Leopards, turtle, and a dog

    Went out for a walk with my E-trac to an elementary school near me. I'm trying to get a handle on this new-to-me machine. I swung for about 4 hours. Cut a lot of plugs. In the end, I found $3.50 in clad, including one 1940 Wheatie, 1975 dog license, a matching pair of gold plated (assuming...

    Thanks Backwoods Detectors

    I want to send a big thank you out to Richard at Backwoods Detectors in TN. He had a gently used E-TRAC for sale at a great price including shipping. He even added a decent set of headphones for free. It arrived in 2 days completely as described and in full working order. Great communication...

    My first Colonials...

    A friend offered to take me to one of his honey holes to ... As he put it, "cut my teeth on Colonial". He was on and found some nice coins. I managed a number of tent stakes and a nail. Then after a short chat and some tips, up pops 3 musket balls: (2) .495" dia and (1) .350"dia. Buck and...
