    Something About Seeing A Gold Ring Sticking Out Of The Dirt! :drool:

    No, this ain't mine. I just ran across it in another forum and thought...You know, there is just something extra "satisfying" about seeing a ring sticking out of a pile of dirt to me then seeing one at the bottom of a scoop. A bit more effort involved the hard way, although I don't mean to imply...

    Myths About Using Nimh/Nicad Rechargeables Such As Less Run Time Or Performance, & Other Info On Modern Battery Types, Plus Charging Info

    This is a re-post from me elsewhere but I thought I'd post it here to try to explode a few myths about using rechargeables, as well as other info that should be useful to the detecting crowd... I've found in various devices for me that running 2500ma or larger capacity nimh AAs in them actually...

    If You Find The Minelab 11" Coinsearch Coil Better Snag It, Because It'sWorth It's Weight In Gold

    Spent a good bit of time searching the net for any pic of this coil or reviews of it, mainly so I could post a pic and any blurbs about it in the coil sticky. Found a few small mentions of people really liking it's performance but nothing worth posting and more importantly no pics. Then I...

    Opinions- Dormant Brown Grass Being Better To Dig Plugs In? & Your Tips To Keep From Killing Grass...

    One thing I wonder about the dead grass this time of year. It's not really dead but dormant. I wonder if perhaps it might actually be better for the grass to dig plugs in it when it's in it's dormant stage, because I've found plugs when the grass was nice and green that were brown and obviously...

    Some MAJOR Bling & Coins Found By A GT At A Site Worked By Others

    Since all the forums around the net (not just this one) seem to be lagging right now due to the heat, I figured it wouldn't hurt to throw up some pics and a story from a fellow GT user that responded elsewhere to a little thread I wrote about the merits of digging the "trash" signals nobody else...

    Why No Activity? Is It The Heat?

    It's not just here, but on other various forums I noticed a distinct lack of activity in terms of activity. Pretty much all the forums I regularly surf, and not just Sovereign specific forums or such, but for various other brands and models. For this time of year it seems there is a huge lack of...

    Today's Hunt With Two Friends, & The 12x10/GT Holds It's Own Again...

    Finally a day that wasn't baking hot out. No sun and cooler temps with a nice breeze, so one of my friend's owning a flagship computer model called me up to go for a hunt. By the way, I consider the GT to be a flagship machine, just not a flagship model with a computer screen. Anyway, I said...

    The Only Weak Link To Break That I'm Aware Of On The GT Hardware, Happened To Me Today, But I've Got A Solution

    I was out hunting today and noticed that the alkaline battery holder (which I run a small/light 3 cell lipo in to save more weight) was sitting partly cocked out of the bottom of my GT. I took a closer look and saw that one of the plastic thumb tabs to lock the pack in place had broke. I put the...

    You & Your Detector Can Find Things No Others Will, & Have Virgin Sites To Hunt, Just By Walking Into Your Local Park With The Right Attitude & Diggin

    Not because of any special abilities, and it's not because other detectors can't find those same targets...It's because 99% of all other hunters simply won't dig targets that are further down the scale of conductivity. Think about it. There is a vastly more broad spectrum of targets, from just...

    Please Read This Heart Warming (At Least To Me) Few Threads On A Circle Of Friends/Community Built Around Our Hobby, From Something As "Simple" As A D

    This revolves around something as "simple" as a dog's death, but I just want to show you guys how deeply the friendships and love for this hobby can expand outward into other areas of connection you can't even yet image to your relationship to your fellow man. I can tell you that some of my few...

    Comparing Coils Performance Wise

    In the past I've always loved reading (or doing my own) pretty extensive testing of coils (or machines) head to head on undug targets in the field. I remember one such way some coils were tested in a thread on undug targets and thought it was the best way to truly contrast the performance...

    A BUNCH Of Waterproof Sovereign Threads! From Custom Builds To Just Throwing It In A Waterproof Box & Some Nice Custom Mods On Other Machines For Idea

    I just put together a huge list of waterproofing Sovereign threads, from simply "throw it in a box" jobs, to "throw it in a waterproof backpack type deals, to custom ones where the the control box is ditched and the electronics custom installed into a new waterproof box with external controls. I...

    We Are Missing Two Pics For The Coil Sticky. The 11" Coinsearch Coil & The 5" Ferret

    If anybody has a picture of either coil please post it in the coil sticky as I think those are the only two we are missing. There might be an 8" Ferret coil too but I just saw a quick reference to that so don't know if it exists or not. There might have also been a 10" Excelerator coil at one...

    What Do You Think Is The RAREST Sovereign Coil?

    Thus far my impression in trying to dig up threads and pics of coils for the coil sticky I'll grade them like this from rarest to least rarest, but all still very rare IMHO... 11" Coinsearch or 4.5x7 a tie probably Sun Ray Solid S-12 Ultra Depth & Detech 8" Concentric a tie probably Maybe the...

    Where Do Old Sovereigns & Various Rare Or Not Rare Coils & Meters Go To Die?

    After just spending an hour or two digging through old threads looking for rare coil information, I started thinking about this. The Sovereign has been made in various renditions for what...20 years roughly? That's a heck of a lot of machines out there, and since they all are pretty close to...

    The Sovereign/Excal Hybrid. Waterproof. Lighter Than & Excal & With Full Function Controls Like A Sovereign & VDI Screen So It's Just As Useful On Lan

    I think that one of the reasons the AT Pro is such a success is that it is reasonably priced and more importantly fills a niche market of a water/land machine. I don't own an AT Pro (yet) but the beauty of a waterproof LIGHT detector with full functions and VDI screen is that it's just as at...

    Just Plain Clad Crazy...Who Is, Where Are Your Favorite Spots, & What's The Most You Got In One Day, Week, Month, & Year?

    I remember reading about a guy who enjoys collecting old coins, but instead of hunting for those hard to find old coins at public sites these days, he now just clad hunts and uses the money to buy his old coins. I also remember reading about another guy last year in a detecting magazine that...

    Waterproofing A Sovereign

    It must be the season because I've got at least 2 or 3 PMs in the last week or so about waterproofing a Sovereign. I haven't got around to that yet so I can't tell you guys much. I can tell you to search for the words "waterproof, waterproofing" just like that in this forum and make sure to set...

    Critterhunter Gets A Job...

    Well, finally got an HVAC company to take a chance on me. They were looking for somebody with experience but said they'd try me out for a few days and see how much I know before deciding to keep me or not, as they are a very small company and said they don't really have room for somebody who...
