It's one of the most precision detectors ever made once learned. It won't find a ton of bottle caps. used with a 180 meter it will ID targets the full length of ID tones better than most of the current wonder detectors. I'd like to see people make a coin garden full of thrash and show the reactions on these targets as well. Yes the Sovereign could be a little faster, not a relic detector, but in a real life park hunt its like driving a Cadillac, compared with most wonder detectors. Just my observation, but most of you know this. Happy Hunting Ron
