    Wondering...You 6000 Pro XL Guys Ever Think Of Replacing Analog Volt Meter With Digital One For Faster VDI Response?

    At least with the Sovereign the meter is simply measuring the voltage output the machine processes of the conductivity and sends out on a 2V scale. That's why you can use either an analog or a digital meter on the Sovereign. I would suspect the 6000, as with many analog machines I would think...

    Sometimes You Forget About Most Obvious Place To Hunt Right In Front Of Your Face. I Did...& Bit More About Ultimate/EMI/Working Heavy Trash.

    I helped my niece move into a house she rented a couple of years ago. It's an old house easily 100+ years old judging by the outside and also the doors/knobs in the house. I kind of forgot about hunting it until this week, when I had to run over there to drop something off, and thought to myself...

    Another Short Hunt Today At New Potential Hot Spot, Or So I Hope. & A Bit About Ultimate Coil.

    I just came back from hunting that cleared out weeds/brush spot they cleared under some power lines to maintain. I haven't seen that spot cleared in my entire life that I can remember. It's next to some old railroad tracks and right behind where an old house used to sit years ago. I was hoping...

    Anybody Bailing On Discontinued Sovereign? I Just Checked The Classifieds &...

    Out of curiosity I just did a 30 day search in the detector classified forum and didn't see anything. Used Sovereigns have always been hard to find, especially the XS models and the Elite and GT, and always seem to hold a pretty good re-sale value. Just good to see they aren't being sold off in...

    Can You ID Age/Etc Of These Buttons?

    Sorry the pic ain't better. They are both heavy like they contain a good deal of lead, but they read smack dab in the pull tab range. They also look lead. A friend once dug a button very much like these (also being lead-like and with the same style) one day when he also dug a civil war infantry...

    A Few Finds (Pic)

    Below you'll see a few finds I've got over the last few hunts at one of my favorite spots. Digging low conductors I always seem to pull some cool stuff out of this site, and of course silver and other old coins too, but I'm always willing to dig the low/mid range stuff at this place based on the...

    WTT My Sun Ray S-5 (5.5" ) Sovereign Trash Coil For 13" Ultimate Or 8" Tornado, Working Or Not.

    I've got the Sun Ray S-5 (5.5") trash coil for the Sovereign for trade. Don't want to sell it otherwise so no cash offers please. It's in good shape but otherwise have the usual scratches and such on the bottom/etc, but as you can see from the pic next to my 10" Tornado it's in decent shape...

    New Life For Old Coil Compatible Low Freq Whites? (QXT, 6000, Etc) Dongle To Use Fisher/Garrett/BH Coils, Which Means SEFs Too!

    First, I cleared this with higher ups, and was told as long as we don't turn this into a commercial we can talk about the possibilities and results for these dongles and adaptors here in the modifications forum, which I fully understand. So keep it tame. We probably shouldn't pot any links or...

    Anybody Taking Kellyco Up On Offer To Special Order 12x10, Or Perhaps (If They Will?) Ultimate Coil Too?

    KellyCo Joe, in this thread... http://www.findmall.com/read.php?21,1789503 Said this... So I'm wondering if any of you guys thirsting for a 12x10 or perhaps a Ultimate (if Kellyco will do that coil as well, as they said they'll consider this approach for other no longer carried products?)...

    A Warning About Getting Your Sovereign Wet, & A Few Tips If You Do Or To Prevent It.

    A couple days ago I headed to the beach. Wasn't planning on water hunting so I had the GT clipped to the shaft on my land rig with meter. Ended up deciding to wade knee deep and do some hunting in the water. While I've got holes drilled just above the coil mount insert on my water rig (stock...

    GT Water Hunt. Is Karma A Buddha Thing? Because I Got A Buddha Framed With "Gold/Diamonds" Today! Think Gold Is Real, But Diamonds?

    First the pic, then the short story. The pic is best I have right now, and the jade Buddha only looks funky with a clown face and such because there is grime in the carvings that I hadn't cleaned out yet. Maybe I got some good Karma from that 10K 2013 high school ring I returned the other...

    Converted Excaliburs For Land/Water Use. In A Sense A Sovereign You Can Still Buy New. Interesting Topic & Ideas To Kick Around...

    I was going to respond to Ron on a remark he made in another thread about him thinking a lot of Excals in the future will be put on good shafts for land use to in a sense carry on the Sovereign with new machines being bought, but figured this topic might be fun in it's own thread to kick around...

    Stuff Dreams Might Be Made Of. Don't Want To Miss This *Anonymous* Little Story Of A Friend's Silver Ingot & How It *Might* Play Out Research/Value Wi

    A friend asked me a few days ago to see if I could help him find any information on a small silver bar he acquired. I submitted the pics in Emails to a few of our other little circle of friends, because two of them in particular seem to have a knack for finding out the historical significance of...

    In Memorial To My Sovereign Brothers- Great New Song Called "Analog Man" By The Legends Joe Walsh & Jeff Lynne. Listen To The Words. Says It All..:goo

    And while there is a digital wonderland going on under the hood of the Sovereign, with it's analog style controls and it's analog-like long drawn out detailed audio, I guess you could call some of us "analog man" in certain ways. Many of us know what kind of magic it's unique traits can really...

    1876 Mystery Silver Ingot. Engraved & Stamped. Writing On It. Can You Solve Mystery If It's Origins?

    A friend of mine picked this up from an estate sale for it's scrap weight, but couldn't bring himself to scrap it based on it's possible (?) history. He has searched the web but can find nothing in relation to it. I haven't looked in the dark corners of the web myself yet to see if I can find...

    GT Water Hunt- PP Mode Strikes Again! Some Bling, Some Silver, But More Importantly Some Good Karma Points...

    Today I had intended to dry beach hunt in PP mode to re-grid an area I had already done in discriminate at a very mineralized beach where pin point mode has shown some merit to sounding off to targets that either null completely or choke out so bad that you have to wiggle right over them to get...

    Anybody Find Switching Bands Ever Causes Less Nulling In Mineralized Ground With No EMI Present?

    At the beach yesterday I was playing around and even though I could run at about 3PM sensitivity wise there was still more nulling than I like, so for some odd reason I switched to band 1 even though I knew there was no chance of EMI around. Oddly, the nulling went away as I swept the sand now...

    Got A PM & It's A Good Question- If You Were Putting Any Coil You Wanted On An Excal For Use In Water, Which Would It Be?

    For me as much as I loved the 15x12 for gridding the sand, in the water it was too much drag for the more medium speed I like to swing at. The 12x10 for sure has a bit more drag in the water to me then my 10" Tornado does, so even though the 12x10 is my coil choice for land or hunting the sand...

    "White Gold" Looking Thin Ring With Letter "L" Inside?

    Anybody have any idea what the "L" stands for? Probably not white gold because it's a thin ring yet read in the pull tab range. I would think a white gold ring of this size would read well into the foil range. Read too low to be silver too, unless it's that nickel/silver mix that some jewlery is...
