After being without a Sovereign for about 18 years, I decided to take the plunge last winter and pick up another!'
I've finally had the time the last 3 weeks to put on about 20 hours, at some local freshwater beaches.
I have used the 10 tornado, the 13 nel, and the 15 wot. I use the 13 the most. It did not take long to get used to the audio again.
After the first two hours, I wondered how much I was missing , as the audio nulls out at times. I fired up my red racer, with the 13 x 17 coil,and retraced
the area I detected with the Sov. I only found one earing that was a match to the two I picked up with the Sov! Ok, confidence level high, I went back to the Sov.
So far, about 150 coins, 3 cheap rings, 2 earings, a token, a dog tag, and some trash of course..
This thing is a nickel killer. I have been using Rons Meter, and my hats off to him and that meter. That thing is awesome! Its getting to the point where I keep the meter turned off, unless I hit a low to mid range audio target, then flip it back on, ( to save the battery). I have not been worried about maxing the depth, as our beaches here in the Ozarks
are all rocks with a bit of sand and clay mixed in.Not thrilled about the thought of digging down deep in that stuff. I'm one happy Sov owner, should have never sold my old one. What a fun machine!
