I received a new Sovereign GT from Bart the other day. Services was excellent. This is my only detector at this time. I ordered an eight inch Tornado coil and SunRay Headphones. I also called Ralph and he will be making me a S1 Probe for it. I ordered rubber covers for the switches. I did own an Explorer a few years back but sold it to move on to another hobby. I will be hunting in parks, relic hunting and some fresh water beaches. I have a lot of old farm homes and a few old logging camps. I enjoy researching for areas to hunt almost as much as I do the detecting. I need to get a couple of digging tools. I may get a meter for it later. I am always open for comments on how to use and/or setup ideas. I am on my second reading of the manual while I wait for the weather to clear. Tony
