    WOW! Did I miss the bell?

    Is class out? Hasn't been a new post in here in days... I just found out I "MAY" be able to swing getting my E-Trac sooner than I thought, so I am watching this forum closely hoping to glean any tidbits of knowledge I can.

    Quickmask Vs Smartfind screens...?:confused:

    I am NOT looking for "what is the difference between the two?" but rather I am looking for a more technical answer as to what is going on differently INSIDE the machine between the two. Given a wide open screen in both, with the settings the same in preferences and mode and just switching...

    Sovereign (Analog) Sounds Vs E-Trac (Digital) Sounds...

    OK, I don't really know how to phrase this but here goes a try... I will be transitioning over from a Sovereign Elite when I do finally get my E-Trac. From what I've seen (heard) in the videos, listened to on the E-Trac Emulator, and experienced on my buddy's E-Trac (for about 45 minutes), I...

    I think I have an Exclusive VIP ALL Access pass to a Ghost Town!! TURNS OUT I DO!!! :surprised:

    I've started a thread over at another forum about getting access to a very cool site. I think I have an Exclusive VIP ALL Access pass to a Ghost Town!! I've been researching Ghost Towns in my area and have found a few within day-trip distance (we live in an RV so we can just drive it there for...

    First water hunt of '13 is in the books!

    Hit the Bikini Beach Resort today, did 4 hours in the water (it was a bit brutal for the first hunt of the year) and 2 hours on the dry sand. All in all I did pretty well, even got a chain and ring. I think the chain and the ring are junk because they are all corroded but I'll look them over...

    Disc and Notch on the Sov Elite

    Could someone please help me? I know I am overthinking the matter... How does the notch and disc work on the Sov ELITE? Could someone explain it so maybe the "lightbulb" will come on for me? I usually hunt the beach and leave notch and disc at "0", hunt in ALL METAL mode with max sensitivity...

    Waterproof MXT Pro?? :yo:

    I had heard that White's was considering a waterproof TDI but had shelved that idea. Maybe they could do a waterproof MXT Pro instead? Who else wants this?

    Panama City Beach WEBCAMS

    I just put together 2 files, a .kmz and a .gpx of 10 webcam locations in Panama City Beach along the beach. This will provide you with GPS coordinates, views of LIVE webcams, and links to each of the cams all in one neat little package. I can't upload them to the forum but if they interest...

    That Sovereign of mine surprises me everytime I take it out...

    Sorry y'all, this is a couple days old. I got it done and posted almost everywhere, but we lost our WiFi and so I had to wait for the WiFi to settle down and work before I finally could get it posted... Rita, Speedy and I all went to the "Dog Beach" here and Speedy got to play and meet other...

    Buy a GREAT SCOOP once or a cheap one over and over...

    OK, guys, I have had 4 other scoops before I got my 720... one of them I added a long handle to when I got into water hunting. This failed miserably since I had no idea the stresses that water hunting puts on a scoop. When I started detecting I knew I would be a beach hunter 90 - 95 % of the...

    The Sovereign chalks up another Lost My Stuff success story!!

    The story starts out 3 days ago, I was out at Pineapple Willy's with the Surf PI and the new Stealth 720. I had just done a grueling 4-1/2 hour hunt in the rough choppy water. My plan was to give myself a real workout with the new scoop in bad conditions, I succeeded! I came up out of the...

    WOW!!! Sunspot and Chuck make a GREAT PRODUCT!!!

    I have to say that this was one of the best transactions I have ever been involved with. Not to knock Rich and CMD - he's great to deal with too - I have to say that I am totally pleased with my Sunspot Stealth 720 scoop. I contacted Chuck's company on a Friday afternoon and they had 2 scoops...

    I'm gettin' me a NEW SCOOP!

    About a week ago my beautiful and supportive wife gave me carte blanche to get ONE of ANY scoop I needed/wanted for use detecting. I have decided to get the STEALTH 720 from Sunspot! I'll be ordering it in a few days and will post some videos on my youtube channel of the unboxing and inaugural...

    Sov/Excal depth Vs a PI machine?

    So, over on another forum there's the old debate of whether a Sand Shark is deeper seeking than a Whites Surf PI.... it's a tired old argument but one member keeps bringing it up. I have a Sovereign and it is a very deep seeking machine! My question is, do you give up some depth with the...

    So, who said a storm would be good for detecting???

    I think it's gonna be a while before our beaches give up ANYTHING. We are so sanded in after Isaac, I went out and worked a huge area of the wet and dry sand with the Sovereign set way above "beach" and did not get a single target for the first 15 or 20 minutes!! Then as I got up near the high...

    Not going away for good....

    But I will be "off the air" for a while. The RV Park in which we live is dropping their cable service with Comcast and they are looking at other options for their Cable TV/Internet provider. We are scheduled to lose service tomorrow. But I'll be back! If I hit something really spectacular I...

    Sovereign gets its' first GOLD and MY first gold of the year!

    I hit the RV park we live in again tonight, this time with the Sovereign Elite instead of the ACE 250 and I hit the same spaces I have hit before with the ACE. I used the ACE with 3 bars sensitivity because I was only looking for surface and just barely sub-surface targets and I cleaned up on...

    Looking for a St Pete FLA area BEACH hunting buddy

    A good friend of mine has been told by his Dr. (phys rehab after a motorcycle accident) to get out and walk the beach... he's says the only way he's going to do it is if he has a MD in one hand. He is just looking to get a new MD (not a used one unless he can get a good deal on one that's been...

    Never forget your roots...

    Since I started out with an ACE 250, I've logged nearly 400 hours on it. I also have a Surf PI that I have 83 hours on and most recently a Minelab Sovereign Elite with nearly 50 hours on it. As a result, my first love - the ACE 250 - has kinda been sitting collecting dust these last couple...

    Weird incident with Rechargeable batteries and my Sovereign:shrug:

    I received the battery pack that rechages along with the AA pack when I got my Sovereign, but the seller could not find the power supply used to charge the rechargeable pack so I was stuck using the AA pack while I waited to get a power supply. I have several sets of NuON rechargeable batteries...
