    A peak under the iron mask

    I was doing some experiments with my Sov in the house. I placed 3 nails in a line, 4 inches apart from each other on a piece of cardboard. I then placed a Roosevelt clad dime between the nails so I had "nail-dime-nail-dime-nail". This is the recovery speed test so often seen on detecting videos...

    Out of the field and into the school

    I went to a couple schools (about 5 hrs total) this weekend looking for deep silver. Of course if I get a surface 180, I will retrieve it because it could be a silver ring, but I mostly was seeking those deeper targets. Since putting the meter on my Sovereign its been really fun to search for...

    Slow sweep speed fact or fiction?

    I have a habit of testing claims made about VLF detectors because like statistics...68% are made up. We all have unique conditions to deal with in our specific environments so my experience may not be relevant to another. First off let me assure everyone that I understand slow sweep speed. PI...

    TDK WR700 wireless headphones

    Hi all, I have just started using the TDK wireless in the field. I thought I would report on them for anybody interested. First off, these aren't blue-tooth so they aren't plagued by any delay. They operate in the 2 GHz range. They have no discernible background hiss through my tinnitus. The...

    Blue Trooth

    I've read on various forums about Blue-tooth and detectors. Many say that Blue-tooth has too much delay but others say that it must be A2DP coding or better and it will work great. So I decided to experiment. If Blue-tooth works on other fast detectors, it should work on the Sov. so I acquired...

    Ultra-meter

    Not to be out-done, I've built an 1800 meter....OK, its a 180.0 meter without the decimal point. Its been half built for weeks but I just got the parts to finish it. I'm not so happy with the design, I have to remove the cover to replace the battery. I need a rechargeable but not sure if I have...

    Ghost town update (Winter research pays off in big opportunity)

    Ive been hitting the field that had 6 "houses" and 1 blacksmith that I know of according to the 1875 map. A couple houses could have been a home/business. The search has been daunting. A corn stubble as much as 12 inches make the rows and chafe fills the gap between. There is a lot of iron of...

    More fun with the heat gun

    2" wide Plexiglas's about 6" long. Heated at the bend points, it shapes nicely. Then I cut the feet for proper angle. Very easy to make. I made this detector rest when I fist got my GT. Its attached to the battery with Velcro adhesive strips so it can be removed if needed. I just leave it on...

    Shortening the Tornado coil cable.

    Has anybody here shortened their Tornado coil cable? I can't think of a reason besides warranty and resale for not shortening it. I don't hip-mount my box and probably never will. If you have shortened the cable, was there any cable shielding? I don't like winding 15 turns of cable around the...

    Coil falsing info

    I have often read where someone is suddenly experiencing coil falsing in a particular location when they bump the coil into something. I had been hunting a farm field with soybean stubble. I noticed that my detector would false like crazy when bumping these small stalks. Other times there was...

    The digital trombone

    Have you ever put your detector in "All Metal" set the threshold, left the upper rod nut loose, turned your coil so it doesn't catch in the preset holes and then slide the lower rod in and out of the upper? You will see just how far extended the coil detects the upper rod. Now you may wonder if...

    Different sheath for Lesche Digger

    I have never used the Lesche sheath. Its difficult to extract and insert the digger and gets packed full of dirt. So I made my own..... I used a 7" piece of 1-1/2 schedule 40 PVC pipe. cut a section from the pipe for the belt area before heating the pipe. I heated the uncut area of the pipe...

    Winter research pays off with big opportunity

    Hi guys, This year I decided to do more research in my area to find promising sites to hunt. I want to capitalize on farm fields as they aren't grown over with weeds like the old vacant rural lots are. Well in my search I found a particular town that existed in 1875 but is no longer identified...

    Sovereign Meter Modders

    I was wondering if you have ever scoped the meter signal to see if its just a voltage feedback or an actual waveform being generated. If not I will get around to it soon and post the results. (future project in the mail) Thanks

    $7 Harbor Freight wireless headphones modded for Tesoro Vaquero

    Hi all, I hope this is a useful mod and maybe someone with better electronic savvy than me will improve on the changes I've made. I saw a wireless headphone advertised at Harbor Freight for $6.99, so I bought one. The headphones operate in the FM bandwidth. The headset has a small telescoping...

    Sovereign and silver chains

    I have been detecting for a while so just finding out what I am about to reveal is somewhat embarrassing, I did a search of a couple forums but found nothing that covers the topic. A couple weeks ago I was searching an area with my "meter-less" Sov and got a nice solid signal that was somewhat...

    Sovereign nets 2 diamond rings in one hunt!

    Ok...ok..... so the "diamond" is a baseball diamond and the "rings" are an earring and disney ring (both sterling). Doesn't that count?....hehe It is the first time I've found jewelry on a bball field I've hunted this particular school yard before and never found much more than a couple bucks...

    Ornate bronze Chinese flat washer

    The square hole must mean It was used for a carriage bolt......grin Actually it must have been a "lucky" coin or some kids show and tell gone bad. Found an inch under the sod in a ball field and only required a warm water rinse. This hobby produces quite a grab bag of interesting finds!

    Anybody have any experience with the Coiltek 5x10 coil to compare with the 800 Tornado?

    Old fair grounds

    Today I went to a park that used to be a fair grounds at the turn of the 20th century (1900's). This is the second time with the Sovereign GT. I have located an area that has a lot of brass from shot shells in the ground (over a dozen found so far). I have always thrown them out but figured the...
