    Manticore Depth Test Result - Not too impressed

    I agree the BBS of the Sovereign was great and will say I use the SunRay meter, but by the tones alone plus the meter reading it ID like no other detector I have ever used. For me this was a turn and a go detector and dont have a lot of setting to adjust or mis adjust, just by slowing down your...

    Check this out

    Thats a Relic Mag 7 automatic from the looks of it from Compass. I believe they were used in the late 70 and did a excellent job for me. I think it found more silver and my 3 silver dollars were found with my Releic Mag 7 . The automatic part was the threshold didnt need retuning , but could...

    Bounty hunter

    I think why you cant find much info on the Big Bud is that this detector was build back in the early 80, so it is a bit old. The one that was the better one is the Big Bud Pro that was the red one, then they made the Big Bud 220 D later around 1986 and didnt seem to work as well as the Pro did...

    Wiped Seated, Barber & Big Silver

    Way to go Dave, you got a great start for the year, As most see the research makes a big difference in the finds that we find plus knowing the detector we that we use. I bet most of this was found in well worked areas, but knowing the detector well and going to the area that most overlook...

    PATRIOT METER

    Yes they were quite expensive and well built, but tried many different meters and I too found the SunRay DTI meters work the best for me. With the Sovereign the 180 meter is right on and those close tones the numbers could tell the difference between the zinc penny and copper one, The zinc...

    PATRIOT METER

    I tied 2 of this meter in case the first one was bad, for me it wasnt for me, but some really like it, but no longer being made. the one thing I did like about it was the back lite on the meter as very good. I bet that they are hard to find anymore and do wonder how many were sold as you dont...

    How old is findmall

    I know it was earlier in 1996 as there was only Minelab sponsored with SunRay at that time and this is where I was told about the Sovereigns and became a dealer in 1996 being this detector sounded so good. With the help of a few of the poster I just had to get one and the patience to learn it...

    Sovereign modification

    That too was a excellent detector and had mine until I got my Sovereign in 1996 and sold it to a good friend which did excellent with it. the only problem I seen with them is the battery contact and used to know where I could get the clips at broken detector as he had the parts for the...

    Sovereign modification

    From what I have read you do know your Sovereign which is good. You have seen what this machine can do in the right hands. Myself I have showed many people that says the area is worked out and claim there is nothing left, but when done showed what the Sovereign could do and got some deeper coins...

    Sovereign modification

    Do you see any difference in the performance after the mods were done?? The reason I ask is the Mods that was going around since I was a Minelab dealer in 1996 is the mod that was said to get more depth was done by several dealers and it was the silent threshold and turned up the tones and may...

    Wedding Ring Return

    I agree the biggest problem is many think they lost it in one spot and yet it in a different area, I now ask when was the last time you seen the ring and where you have been since. Even I had a problem with myself as I was detecting and realize my wedding ring was gone and thought it must be...

    Metal Detector Rack

    I just got these type of hangers as I feel they will work great for my detectors, next I will have to build a shelf for my detectors accessories, but first got to find a spot and clean it out so I can mount the detector where it is OK with the wife. You know what I mean or I will be taking it...

    Best gold beach detector?

    Looks good and a nice collection of coils you have there. I see you wrap the coil cable up further up the shaft and away from the main coil which I do also so it not affecting the signal which I too do. On my XS Sovereign I used the hip mount bag also, but tried to move the box back on the...

    Do You Ground Balance

    Nauti you said it like most of us would say as many time when you start messing with all the different setting you are spending your detecting time messing around setting that probably makes the detector worst than if you would have left it alone. This why I like my Sovereigns as less...

    Best gold beach detector?

    It takes time to learn the Sovereign and understand those sounds and tones as to what to listen for. I didn't like the Sovereign when I first got it as most have the same problem. From using it and doing some digging it with some time I did OK and the more I used it the more I learn, now to me...

    The King of metal detectors

    That it is One of the best if not the best detectors out there, that is if you learn this detector. I think I will take my GT with me when I go and hope it will take the heat if I go there, but if I go the other way I will be in heaven and on the path of gold...

    Score / double score

    Sounds like a few have a Score or double score and hope you keep us informed on your impression of it . I notice nothing about if it come or you have to buy a set and what one to buy. Also the coil sound big and wonder if a smaller one can be got and when. It look easy to use as I want a...
