Got out with the Sovereign this Sunday.

Just received my water detector a CZ20 with an 8 inch coil.I have used CZs and had to log a little time on the Cz20 routine double hits or four ways on targets.Even though it has exceptional pinpoint ability I lost targets at depth but with the Bullseye pin pointer I recovered these targets saving time and lowering stress.The CZ20 was belt mounted.When I left the school yard a gentleman explained that the school was built in the Twenties.He also explained that everyone searches the old football field but there was an old track in the the far corner where no one ever searches.So Sunday morning I would bring the Sovereign XS and search the area and see if it had any possibilities.In contrast with the Fisher the Sovereign with the straight shaft felt light.Even though I only searched for about two hour I recovered twenty five coins 3 quarters 5 dimes 5 nickles and 12 pennies only 1 wheat.The Sovereign with the 8 inch Tornado locked really nice onto targets,the 180 meter was only wrong a couple of times,which one was can slaw at about a foot. The sun ray probe helped recover dimes as deep as 8 inches that would otherwise have remained lost.After searching the old track area I would conclude that it was filled in and landscaped,because there was a lot of clad coins around 7 to eight inches.The Sovereign seemed to have great depth very easy and comfortable to use,especially when compared to the CZ20.
 
Ron please explain in detail about the Sun Ray probe with deep Coins,
I just missed it as others probably have easily picked up on. I have never used a probe but I here allot of good things about them.

D Wes,lets say you cut a plug and the target still has a response,which is still in the hole.After you dig to retrieve the coin the hole is now eight inches deep and and now no target will be indicated by using the detector.By placing the probe in the hole you gain another 2 inches of depth and pinpoint your target at the same time.I hope this explains the process better.I'm on my way to work,yesterday the Treasure Finds Forum was blocked as a restricted web site at work when attempted to go on the site.
 
D Wes,any type of probe is better than none.Tony I think your going to like the Sovereign.The old XS will be all tricked out just ordered a 8 inch concentric coil from the big K.
