    Time To Do A Spring Tune Up On My Digger, & Gearing Up For The Hunt...

    [attachment 258782 IMG_2109.jpg][attachment 258783 IMG_2111.jpg] I know many prefer the more knife like Lesche digger. I've used it but prefer the one that is probably the second most popular. The Lesche to me, while it slices through thick grass easier, is much more harder for me to work with...

    For Sale- Sovereign Hip/Chest Mount Bag (Black Version), Or Trade For Plano Waterproof Box

    [attachment 258726 MinelabBag.jpg] I long ago built a light weight land shaft for my GT so no need for the chest/hip mount bag. I have used this bag on my water rig (stock shaft) to chest mount the GT when water hunting, but plan to move on to a waterproof Plano box to throw my GT into mounted...

    Don't Plug In/Unplug A Coil With The Sovereign On...

    About a week or so ago I was digging through some old threads elsewhere looking for some info on certain internal specs of Sovereign/Excalibur coils for a project I have in mind in making a 4x3 or smaller extreme sniper coil. Anyway, that's when I ran across an old post from a guy who back...

    "Your Bobber's Sinking...", Or "I Heard A Gobble..." Who's Ready For A Camping Trip To Do Some Spring Crappie Fishing & Turkey Hunting?:cool:

    We are gearing up for a camping trip in about a month to do some turkey hunting during the day and some crappie fishing at night.

    Got A PM Asking If There Were Cloned Coils. Did Some Snooping Around Today & Check Out This Video...

    The person who PMed me was looking to buy a used WOT coil for his Sovereign. At the time I told him I hadn't heard of any coils being cloned, but told him to email coiltek with the serial # and some pics or something to put his mind at ease. They responded back and told him his coil was the real...

    Beware Of Fake Coils! (& Machines)...Video Of Coiltek Knockoff...

    I screened this video and didn't see any ads, so I'd assume it's OK to post? Hope this is the proper forum for it too... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djBn8WlmDuw That coil was for a gold unit but Is anybody aware of any fake coils being made for the FBS/BBS units, such as say clones of the...

    "White Noise" Or "Amp" Mode On GT When Doing The Sovereign Wiggle On Deep Fringe Depth Stuff?

    Has anybody noticed on the GT when doing the Sovereign wiggle on a super deep target you sometimes hear a slight "click" and then the audio seems to go into a white noise type of amping process like can happen when a stereo amp is being turned on? And then when I stop wiggling I'll hear another...

    Interesting Question- Your Method OR Settings For Heavy Trash/Iron Or VERY Rough Ground?

    Saw this just mentioned, and thought it would be a good lead up for a thread. What's your coil, method, or settings...For heavy iron or other trash? Besides the obvious- using a smaller coil, one of the ones I've heard and have used over the years, is using a much lower sensitivity settting to...

    A List Of Larger Coils (Bigger Than 10" ) For The Sovereign/Excalibur...

    Got this in a PM. Name scrubbed clean to keep the question anomomous. Figured it would be useful here... All Sovereign/Excalibur coils are DD, with only exception being an 8" concentric Detech makes. So here's the big coil list of coils bigger than 10"... WOT...made by Coiltek. Sold by them...

    A Little Birdie Told Me As Of Yesterday KellyCo Has Sixteen 12x10 BBS Coils Now In Stock. Must Have Got In Another Batch...

    Because I'm pretty sure weren't people saying that last batch they got in a month or two ago was already sold out for some people? This was after the GT was discontinued and Kellyco decided to order more to see how fast they'd continue to sell for the Sovereign/Excalibur. If I remember right...

    4" Long X 2" Wide Sniper Coil In Style Of SEFs For Sovereign (Or Any Other Machine For That Matter...General Questions Too.)

    I've toyed with the idea of building my own coils for my Sovereign GT in the past. Did a ton of reading and research on it. Then the SEFs came along and I figured I'd have to make several coils to make up for the cost of just buying a 12x10, because a coil of that general shape was what I was...

    Interesting Question I Got Asked In PM- What Would Be Your THIRD Coil Choice For Your Lineup & Why?

    Got asked this in a PM and I thought it was a real interesting question. If you've got a large coil for depth and coverage, and a small trash coil for heavy junk, then what would be your third coil choice and why? For me, 12x10 for every day excellent depth & left/right outstanding separation...

    How Do You Cash In Clad? Was Using Coinstar For Ease Of Use & Not Needing To Tumble But I've Found A Better/Cheaper Way To Cash'em In Without Tumbling

    I've been using Coin Star for a long time because I don't have to tumble. I do wash them in a bucket of warm soapy water but don't tumble because I saw a TV show about that company and turns out part of that 9.8 cent fee they charge per dollar is used to sort and clean/polish the clad, unless I...

    So Where's The Wine Makers?

    Got into that a few years back and love it. Very cheap once the hardware/carboys are bought, which ain't much cost anyway if you get those used. South of $100 for two carboys and all the hardware I needed, and making the wine is cheap and easy. There are recipes for fast stuff too. I have been...

    In case you bailed on the other thread, this is what I got in an Email from Minelab, and so it would appear that often taken for granted rules of thumb beliefs about it appear not to be true... Dear Sir, The Sovereign has two methods of Ground balance. Automatic Ground Compensation this...
