The Sovereigns are a different detector as you see, but get to know it and you will find it is a excellent coin detector, maybe the best you will ever use.
very easy to set up if you are a park hunter or even a beach hunting looking for coins and jewelry.
This is how I set mine up as I set the switch that says all metal/ iron mask on or off to iron mask on as it maybe a little more noise, but with it on it seems to get good targets close to iron better. The sensitively to learn the GT I would turn all the way counter clockwise until it click as this is auto and a good place to start and after you get to know it better then you can go to manual sensitivity and improve the depth of it. disc is set as low as it will go or maybe just up to the 9 O'clock position to eliminate the alum foil as you will get less nulling and more signal., the volume is set wide open and you should have a set of headphone that has a volume control on it . Other than that you just turn it on and start swinging the coil. Maybe try a few different coin as the copper penny,clad and silver will sound the same, the nickles and gold ring once you know it well you can tell by the tones them from pull tabs most of the time. The IH pennies and some of the older wheat pennies read just a little lower tone than the copper ones ad hard to tell the difference in tone and why I highly recommend a 180 meter as you can see what your ears are hearing in digital numbers to help on the close signals.
I will say most people just starting using a Sovereign will hate it from what we see, those that stick with it and get to know it will probably never sell it as they know what they can do and have the finds to prove it.
