Explorer coil on a Sovereign?
- Thread starter JHM
- Start date
JHM; You have my attention: I have rewired the plugs on several Ex and Sov to shorten them for convience and can see no reason they wont work. AN adaptor and you could use your whole arsnel of coils on both machines???? I presonally would bet it is possible and would really like to get this one figured out. MFG Im sure would not but I would
Thanks
Good Luck

Besides operating in different frequency ranges, the Sov has a preamp in the coil while the Exp does not.
Forget the whole thing.

These are 2 different detectors so the coil also will be different too. The Sovereign uses the Broad Band while the Explorers are the Full Band Spectrum . These do run on a different freq if I remember right so they would not work on one another. This is also why the Sun Ray probes are different too between the Explorer and the Sovereign as they look the same, but are different inside.
Ok Rick and Art; I know you guys are worlds ahead of me on the elec of the metal detector but I have another question
The coiltek coils. Come in the same coil for all these machines? you can get the joey, platy and all for the ex. sov, and gold machines. All these coils are packaged the same. Are the internal wiring in each of these coils different????
Just my thoughts seems that these are basicly the same with dif plugs on them ?? Is there really enough demand to completely rewire each of these coils for all the many different machines without some being the same???
Just a goonsmit redneck question dont mean to sir any pot up
Good Luck

If you look closely, you will see that there is a different part number for each, and it's for more reason than just the plug. The internals have different electical characteristics.
Give up on it.

Art I dont have a problem giving up on the idea I was just curious what was different about them?
Have you ever looked inside the two say, a joey from a Ex and a joey from a Sov to see what the dif is?? Just cuious
Keeps the mind active that way even for us rednecks that dont know electronics.

No, I have not torn them apart to look. I don't have to.
If you could look inside a coil you will see mostly wire.....one tx loop, one recieve loop. and a phase cancellation loop. There will be a resonatring capacitor on the transmit loop. In a Sov coil there will also be a small pc board which is a recieve preamp.
We are looking mostly at the same kinds of parts, but the parts are of different value electronicaly. The coils cannot be swapped around with detectors unless they are made to work with those detectors.

If you would have done what you were thinking about, if the detector did not squeal like a pig being raped by a gorilla, it would have been lucky to pick up a hubcap on the surface.
Just think if you had bought one of those big fancy mono coils from DOC thinking that if a big coil for a GP makes it a great gold detector that it would have to make a Sov a great gold detector also.
