Hello all, I am new the the Sovereign GT ( had it about 4 months) and still learning. My question is this , If I'm hunting with a slight threshold and it nulls out but there is a higher threshold on each side of the null does this indicate a good target ? I don"t get a high tone signal just a higher faint threshold.( like a deep target) settings are no disc. no notch, 1 oclock sens. I have tried digging these higher thresholds but I have only found junk, just wanted to make sure i"m not leaving the good stuff

I have heard both ways on this but my experience is it is junk. Many say if you get just a blip of high tone you should dig. This advise is from very experienced hunters. Guess you will hear a lot of opinions. Every blip I have dug on a null was junk but there are exceptions. Try swinging over that target fast from both directions. If the tone varies up and down it is probably junk. The best way to learn is dig and remember. After a while you will come to a conclusion on your own. HH
The Sovereign will null on anything disc out or iron, so when you get a null and a signal on either side of the null chances are it is the threshold coming back from the iron null. Put it all metal pinpoint and you will see there will be a signal right where the null was. Another way is while in disc is to go around the signal from a different direction and iron will move so the signal will not in the same place.

I was just running into this today for my self - and ended up doing what you all recommended: move around the target, vary coil speed/angle, check it in all metal/pp, back into discriminate, then dig it up. So far, they have all been junk.
But, I also heard a sound that was different than anything else (which was ALL pull tabs), and worked it the same way I had been working the nulls. It sounded so much like aluminum it was sickening - but there was a difference too. I want to say it was cleaner somehow, but just a little bit. It turned out to be a nickel. It was the only good target of the day, the rest was working with nulls and pull tabs; but I learned; and hey, I picked out a nickel. :| It's not much, but to me it was important that I heard the difference.
