    Proof that the Sovereign GT is an Awesome old park/old coin machine.

    First off. I admit these are old photos from a hunt long ago. The reason I am posting these pics is to kinda respond to Habanero's post in regards to using a Sovereign as an old coin hunter for parks. Well here is a picture of an old park that myself and others have hit for years with XLt's and...

    My Take on a 12x10 SEF coil used on a Sovereign GT.

    I have written about the 12x10 SEF in the past. I figured I would give it another plug. The only reason I am plugging it, is because it is the best accessory coil I have ever used for any machine. First off I can crank the sensitivity with smoother operation than I can with the stock 10". My...

    My Sovereign park setup with a Ron's 180 meter and Sunray S-8 coil.

    Sorry if I posted this in the past. In case someone was wondering how to set up your Ron's 180 meter and other accessories on your GT. I know at first that the Sunray probe box looks kinda odd where it is. Well, it actually evens out the balance and I can swivel the box on the handle to give...

    I am going to hold on to my Sovereign GT. ( FOR NOW )

    This new CTX 3030 at first had me wowed. But the more I analyze it and take into consideration, cost, weight, battery use, Minelabs stellar warranty service ( sarcasm). I think I will wait around to see what else comes down the pike from any of the other manufactures. It would be wise if you are...

    question about the AT-PRO headphone adaptor

    Ok. So the headphone adaptor allows one to use any headphones with a 1/4 plug. My question is this. There is a clip that has to be screwed in place under the arm rest. If I decide to remove the cable adaptor and use the Garrett waterproof headphones can I leave that clip still attached beneath...

    The merging of V-Flex and BBS.

    If a new Sovereign is on the Horizon, making it light weight is such an obvious priority. Also the whole philosophy behind V-Flex is making analog circuits more stable and efficient. Well we all know that the current BBS machines are one of the last in the Minelab lineup to be of analog in...

    Need help with id. Military ?

    Kinda heavy for the size.Whatever it is the design looks like a crown on a Spanish Reale. And I love them Reale's. Came in as a 176( copper range) on my Sovereign GT meter. HH Jason

    Some kind of something.

    Whatever it is the design looks like a crown on a Spanish Reale. And I love them Reale's. It was loud and clear. Approximately 10" and 176 on the meter HH Jason

    vintage 1920's Carhartt button

    It says Carhartt O'Alls & Gloves. Kinda small and kinda deep. The GT and the 10x12 SEF had no problem pulling it up. HH Jason

    Possible Militia button

    Found in Massachusetts at a site with many other Colonial finds. I also found an 1803 and a 1805 Draped Bust Large Cent as well on the same hunt. Just wondering if it is an average Colonial button or possibly something more. Thanks in advance HH Jason

    Any word on US distribution of the other XP detectors. (ie) GMAXX II

    These other machines are right up my ally. I am such a long time Sovereign users since ( to me ) they are the ultimate in detectors that talk to you. I have always been a sound only guy. However I do admit I know have a meter attached to my GT. But that was only after many years of not using a...

    Which coil for detecting in a Corn Field.

    I will be going to do some detecting in a corn field. I have not seen the field but was told there are lots of old stocks left strewn about. I just am trying to figure out if I should use my Sovereign GT, the Sunray S-8 or the SEF 12x10. I would imagine that there will be much corn stubble as...

    Some of my Finds from my past few hunts.

    I apologize up front if you have all ready seen these. The two coins in my hand are an 1803 and an 1805 Draped Bust Large Cents. All found with my Sovereign GT. Oh and Critter Hunter the 1857 Flying Eagle cent rand in around 160ish ( just like Indian Heads) on my Ron's 180 meter. I knew you...

    My second Flying Eagle cent, and a Barber from last week.

    I found my second flying Eagle Cent which was an 1858 that was in bad condition. I found my first Flying Eagle two years ago and that was an 1857. I also got a nice 1901 Barber dime last week. They are out there and my GT will find them. HH Jason

    A new Top Of The Line.

    Yes I know that Garrett is flying high on the success of the AT series. I guess it was the success of the ACE series that lead to the great mid line AT-PRO and GOLD. But what about a new machine geared toward the coin hunters? A new GTI? One thing for sure is that I hope it is waterproof. HH Jason

    Do nickles give a high tone on the CZ 21

    Also what kind of coin depth are you getting with the 8 inch coil while detecting inland. I can only own one high end machine at a time. I would use the cz 21 often at parks woods and fields. However i want to do even more water hunting and i do not feel to comfy going deep in the water with my...

    Which is the newer model the SE or the LTD

    Which version of the F75 is said to have better performance with EMI. Thanks Jason

    A Metal Detecting license is needed and inevitable.

    I am no fan of Government control. But let me put it this way. If two guys are fishing and one of the guys is keeping undersized Striped Bass. The lawmakers are not going to ban fishing for everyone, the Fish and Game Warden will just penalize the fool with the small bass. However if one guy...

    Minelab Sovereign GT as compared to the White's V3i / VX3

    Just wondering if anyone has used and compared the Sovereign GT against the White's series of V detectors. The Sovereign is a no bells and whistles raw power deep searcher. However I have been flirting with the White's V3i and the Vx3. Saltwater beach performance, coin depth of detection, ease...
