    Interesting email concerning the Sovereign Elite

    G'day Jim, I am relatively new at the detecting game as I have had my Sovereign Elite for 2 years now and I love reading tips on how to get extra performance out of this amazing machine. I was at a beach here in Brisbane (Australia) a little while ago when I noticed a strange thing; The beach...

    Which is the best detector to buy.. I get asked that alot and would like to share my thoughts with you....

    The Explorer & Sovereign which I use are excellent machines, as they gives tonal ID as well as the meter identification. They also see "thru" much mineralization that block other brands. Especially effective where the dreaded "black sand" is present. The "D" coil system is an excellent feature...

    Bear saga.. Chapter two!

    This past weekend, my wife and I were driving to our campgrounds in the early afternoon when I saw a deer close to the road. I was trying to see if there were any more deer when my wife starts hollering "There is a BEAR in the road ahead". Well sure enough a nice size cub was standing on...

    what drives many of the Minelab users nuts and turns them off finally is....

    that they hear too many false coin signals! Well, one must realize that when coming off of ferrous metal, the Minelabs will give a "coin" signal in one direction. That is the key! Dig only the signals that are repeatable in both directions and ignore any that do not repeat! It will soon...

    Now I have a larger problem.. A black bear has destroyed my bird feeder two weekends in a row!

    Now where did I put that live trap? I mentioned capturing it with the live trap to my buddy Frank.. Well, the last time I saw my buddy Frank.. He was running down the road! No sense of adventure, I guess? Here Blackie, Blackie!! :rofl:

    Repost from a few years ago.. My Virgin Detecting Site!

    Let me first tell you that I live in the small farming community of Caledonia, NY, population 5000. It is located 20 miles South of Rochester, NY and 50 miles East of Buffalo. The land in the immediate area is gently rolling hills of fertile farm country. A few years ago, using 1860's...

    House yard find! YEE-OOOW! Go Minelab!

    There are many ways to get permission to do house yards. Talk up your hobby to everyone you meet. One of my favorites to "break the ice" is yard sales or garage sales! Most any excuse you can get to talk to the folks outdoors in the yard! I found this Saturday Morning! Only old coin so far...

    My Friend Stonewood's Story about the &%$@#@* Raccoon..

    A while back, Ol' Stonewood and I were sitting around the campfire telling stories when Stonewood told me a real "goodun!" "This took place back in the day when Trapping and Coon Hunting was a very lucrative business. As a young man I was very active in controlling the Raccoon population, and...

    Squirrels? Don't talk to me about squirrels!

    Like many grown and not so grown men, I don't know when to leave well enough alone. At the campgrounds where my wife and I stay in the summer, we have a bird feeder. On occasion, both red & gray squirrels come to visit. When they do, they throw all the seed on the ground and clean out the...

    Another time in which I become spiritually moved is..

    when I get into a tree stand in the dark and sit while dawn comes and the woods awakens. First there is the "quiet" darkness where in reality the sounds of night animals are heard. Then the eerie half light where deer, perhaps a fox or an owl quietly drift ghostlike, soundlessly through...
