First hunt with the Elite and a question?

[crazyman]

Took my new Elite to an old park for it's first hunt. Picked up a couple of Indians, some wheat's, a big sterling brooch and ring and some foreign coin. One end of the park is infested with iron and trash where some old buildings once stood that burned down. I tried the single tone option and turned down the threshold to silent search and liked the way it worked in the trash. I don't have a meter so can anyone tell me if any of the Sovereign meters will still work in the single tone mode? Thanks!

I own a sovereign elite which i purchased new in 2006. It came with a 550 meter (minelab meter). You do get target identification by number in the single tone mode. I have never done this myself but i just tested it and it does give you numbers in single tone. Someone called this one of the older models but like i said i just purchased this one a few years ago. It has it's place i can tell you that. I certainly won't be parting with mine soon. I recently purchased the technetics omega 8000. It is nice to have a single frequency and a multi frequency detector. Best of luck with your Elite. I am sure you will be very happy with it.

I never used the meters much on my Sovereigns in the past. The tones pretty much told me what I needed to know about the target but I see some possibilities with the single tone option with the Elite in some of the worst sites I hunt. I thought as accurate as the meters are it might help a small bit at these sites also in combo with the single tone. Thanks again!
