    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...

    Buried 60-70-80 years!

    Most of those I find are damaged and wondered why and a old timer told me mine look like they where chiseled off as they look cut. He told me many wouldnt come off and had to be chiseled off to get them off, so this was normal. I got around 15 and only one was a Chevy. cool find and a good part...

    Equinox and nickels....

    Yes I have seen this before on the war nickles, I beleive I ask on the forums before. I had a guy tell me he got 176 on the one he had on his 180 meter, so I had it sent to me to try also and sure enough I got 176 also. A few days latter he got another one read 176 so I ask if others had seen...

    Converting 550 meter to 180

    With a little luck you will have it back on Saturday or Monday, hope you will like the 180 mod as much as many of us that use a 180 meter. With the tones and the meter reading you will find it to really ID like no other detector, at least I sure do find excellent ID with mine...

    Jimmy Sierra headphones not working on Simplex +

    With headphones there is a difference in stereo and mono, some have a switch to go to one or the other, some like my Troy Pro dont have the switch so it works on either one. I think there are others too like this. Now some with the switch or even without get a broken wire in the cable they will...

    Converting 550 meter to 180

    Yes I have the parts and the instructions to do this if you need them , the 550 meter has 2 different version of the meter and you have to look at which value is in the meter than it will tell you which resister to use. The kits I made up has both the resister to use the one you need and the...

    Yes I did get $50 bill for finding it. I all ways say no charge as I enjoy finding thinks for people, so if they offer me something I say fine and the $50 is the most I have got and $5 from a guy for a 1958 class ring only to hear a week later he lost it again and ask me to find it again. This...

    souvereign got problems

    One thing I always check when a problem is trying with and without the coil which you did from what I have read. Next would be to make sure you have a good battery in it as it takes 12 volts to run correctly, less than that you will get a low battery alert which is a louder intermittent beep...

    I Finally Broke In My New Equinox

    Doing good Dave, hope you get to know this detector well as I will be asking question when I see you. What I have seen with mine is impressive, but sure dig a lot of trash compared to my Sovereign GT when I have had time to get out. I want to get one of Steve shaft too and look at yours when I...

    Alternative Battery for Excalibur1000

    I know the Sovereign needs 12 volts to operate Correctly and Excalubur should also as it is a waterproof Sovereign. Now when I had the Explorer the rechargeable pack was 9.6 volts if I remember right, so I would check this out before doing a mod.

    2 SOVEREIGNS?

    Good to hear Desi as this is one of my all time favorite coil as it is so much easier to hear those tones for those starting with a Sovereign as learning it. Some of my deepest finds were found with the older coinsearch coil, seems like the hot band is bigger so you have more chance of seeing...

    The Sovereign is one of the most modified detectors around.

    Since the new format of the new forums I dont see the info on the Sovereigns that Ron had pinned to help us all as there was a lot of good info on it. I had many pieces of info that would help you and going to try and remember some of them I learned from Experience for me to be very successful...

    Pinpointer Low Batteries?

    My Detector UniProbe (built in headphones )will act up when the battery gets low or if I try a rechargeable battery too. I always carry extra 9 volt batteries just in case and use the ones I take out in something else as it need a full battery to work right. My other brand probe is rechargeable...

    Auto GB Tracking Issue

    From my experience with ground tracking is used it area where the ground conditions is changing rapidly. My understanding is every little change in ground condition is being tracked in tracking, so also this is happening on other targets too and have seen on some of detectors like my wifes...

    The Sovereign is one of the most modified detectors around.

    The problem is finding one that someone hasn't modified as I had found out. The mods externally is OK, but the one someone has opened up and and mess with the pots inside to try to make it better, but just mess it up so it will not work as it is intended to work are the one I tried to stay away...

    The Nox 800 showed up on Monday

    Even though I made a copy of the owners manual on line and read it twice while waiting for mine to show up, I wasn't ready and had to get the copy out to go though a few thing. Maybe I just read it and nothing stayed in between my ears, in one ear and out the other. I didn't even know how to...
