    This old dog can still hunt!

    As my staycation was nearing it's end, I decided to hit the Hudson River banks this morning at low tide with my trusty Sov XS. It's been pretty pounded over the years (at least be me) but I was able to muster two silver dimes in the hour and a half hunt. A 1903 Barber and 1941 Merc! Also got two...

    WOW! VERY impressed with First Texas (Fisher) Service!

    The complete turn around for my F11 was exactly 8 days! I think that's pretty damn good. They replaced the membrane for the power switch, gave me new mounting screws, coil hardware and a velcro strap as well as put a screen protector on the unit. Felix called me last Wed. to say they had...

    Ken Koontz (pan4au) is a straight shooter!

    Just did a deal with Ken on a Vibraprobe 580 pinpointer. Great communication, fantastic price and quick shipping with packaging that could withstand a drop from the Empire State Building! Thank you Ken!

    Sov still producing! This evening's beach finds after an hour and a half...

    Managed a little silver with a '48 Roosie, a pretty trashed no date Buffalo, a couple wheats 1917 and 1944, and a couple of memorials 1963 and 1964. A nice suspender buckle, couple of lead seals and a couple of OLD shoe buttons. Wore out my remote all metal pinpoint switch so I just ordered 10...

    I know this isn't really the forum to ask but...

    I already posted this on detector accessories wanted as well and I couldn't think of a better place to ask then here. Looking for a good used 10" coil for my Sov (preferably the Tornado or 10X12 SEF for $100 shipped. Any takers?

    Fisher F11 power switch defect

    Hi guys, I own a Fisher F11 and have had it for about 2 1/2 years now. It's really an awesome detector and has surprised me with it's performance for such a basic detector. I originally bought it for my wife to use but you know how that usually goes. I ended up using it myself as it's a fun...

    One of the things I LOVE about the Sovereign...

    The Sovereign does all the work! By that I mean other detectors that have digital menus or require manual ground balancing need constant attention at all times. I always found myself fiddling with the adjustments instead of actually hunting with the machine. I think this is probably the reason...

    Yesterday's 45 min. hunt at the Hudson River

    Got out for another quick hunt last night to my favorite old beach site by the Hudson. It was a perfect opportunity to test out the new Sunray ProGold headphones and Lesche shovel which were both a PLEASURE to use for sure. Managed an awesome conditioned 1937 Buff nickel (unfortunately NOT the D...

    Finds from tonight's short Hudson River hunt

    Not bad for an hour and a half's worth of exercise. Managed a little silver in the form of a 1935 Washington and a 1945 silver war nickel. Also nabbed two wheats (1929 and 1940) and some other odds and ends. As always I had a blast! The quarter was right next to a huge chunk of iron and still...

    Need your opinions on headphone choices for the Sov

    It's been a couple years since I've had a Sov to swing and I was just wondering your preference for a good compatible headphone selection for my Sov. Right now I'm using some crappy Bounty Hunter (CalRad type) phones. I will be in the market for some new cans very soon. In the past I have used...

    This old dog can still HUNT! Got out for 3 hours today...

    Man did I have a great time today! The weather was perfect for detecting: just enough clouds to block the sun with a nice breeze down by the Hudson River. This is a tough site to hunt as it is loaded with iron, coke and bricks everywhere. Auto sensitivity was the key to a fruitful hunt today...

    Well, my Sov XS is now ready for some serious hunting!

    Those of you who know me over the years know that I can't just let a Sov exist in it's original form without a few modifications and adjustments. Since I've had this baby first thing I did was take off the coil cover to clean any loose dirt or sand (there was NONE!) I then sealed the cover to...

    Did a Closet Queen rescue yesterday!!!

    Hey guys! I know it's been awhile, probably over 3 years or so but I'm back again! Once a Sov lover ALWAYS a Sov lover am I right? So I was perusing the Facebook Marketplace and was searching for a Sov when this baby came up! I drove almost 350 miles and 6 hrs round trip to retrieve it! I think...

    Any love for the F11?

    I was just curious to see if anyone swings an F11 in here. I picked one up last year as a newbie detector for my wife to use (but also to interchange that little 7" concentric on my LRP for trashy areas, lol). I'm really surprised at how great this little unit performs! I found a couple of...

    Nice Modified Minelab Sovereign XS-2 w/CoinSearch & DetectorPro Headphones!

    I have a really clean Sov XS-2 with 8" solid white CoinSearch coil and DetectorPro Bushmaster headphones for sale. I hate to let her go but winter bills force me to sell and I can't dig around here anyway for the next three months or so. It has been modified in the following ways: 1) I converted...

    Old School Sov can still hunt!

    I haven't posted in a while so I thought I would just share what I found on this awesome "Indian Summer" day off I had in beautiful upstate NY. Took my 16 year old black box XS-2 Pro to a favorite old Hudson River beach site I like to hit at low tide. Didn't get anything really great but I did...

    Any of you Sovereign guys interested in a coil swap?

    Sunray S-8 for CoinSearch, straight up? :)

    Any interest in a coil SWAP?

    I have a Sunray 8" coil and cover for the Minelab Sovereign. I was wondering if anyone wanted to do a straight up swap on this coil for a solid white 8" CoinSearch coil and cover? The Sunray coil is waterproof and can be submersed while the CoinSearch cannot but since I pretty much hunt on land...

    Sunray S-1 Probe and DTI II Meter price lowered and partial SWAP

    OK not getting any bites on these items so how about this? I have two near mint Sunray accessory items for the Minelab Sovereign. They are the earlier big box model in-line pinpointer probe and DTI II meter. I'm willing to sell BOTH outright for $200 shipped USPS Priority Mail or $100 plus a...
