This old dog can still hunt!

As my staycation was nearing it's end, I decided to hit the Hudson River banks this morning at low tide with my trusty Sov XS. It's been pretty pounded over the years (at least be me) but I was able to muster two silver dimes in the hour and a half hunt. A 1903 Barber and 1941 Merc! Also got two Wheats: a trashed 1939 and a 1941. Had a great time and really enjoyed the awesome weather today. My wife even tagged along to catch some sun. Hope everyone is staying safe and doing some detecting as well. I'm heading back again tomorrow! HH George

Old Dog?? I hope you were talking about the detector. You are still a young punk compared to me. Nice finds.

Yeah the detector is almost 25 yrs old! Pretty amazing when you consider how the Sovereign has held it's own with all the "new" technology out there.
 
I started about 8 years ago with the GT. The longer I use it the better we get along. It is a coin finding machine and once in a blue moon it will find a piece of jewelry other than silver. The Sovereigns will finds the goods.

Nice work George, the Sovreign is a killer machine.

Good to hear you are still detecting with the Sovereign and like I always say once you know the Sovereign well you will always have one in reserve , I still have one with the meter I got from you but it sits on the wall with my Equinox 800 as my health dont let me out much in the last year or so, but I may sell the Equinox, but not my Sovereign even though it is heavy I will figure out something if I can get out.

Good Luck George
 
Been trying some new equipment the old Sovereign can still hunt with the big dogs. Sometimes I'll use my 21x17 this coil is deep and will still separate. Nice post Thanks Ron

Rick, you are one of the best Sovereign users around, learned a lot from you over the years. Yea I sold my Deus, Equinox and Two Noktas. For me the Sovereign works much better. Thanks Ron
