GT Question

[labeachbum]

My PI pro is starting to drive me crazy with digging up 100 nails per an hour........ Would the GT be stable on the wet sand ( Ring Line) salt beach here in Southern California...... some black sand .... . And hows the Discrm on nails with the Gt.

TIA Robert Long Beach ca,

i kinda hate to spread the good word.with every Sovereign on the beach makes for less finds for other's.iv had almost every detector made and for me on the salt beach the Sovereign GT and S12 coil is by far the best combo out there.15" on a dime is common and i never dig iron! not 1 nail in 4 years! in most cases you can run sensitivity wide open,only on one beach did i have to back it down to 6 ,and the depth was still good.when they make a better beach machine i will own one,until then its the GT all the way.

The GT's basically the same as the EXcal, but has extras for nugget hunting and isn't waterproof. I love mine and would love to waterproof it or get and Excalibur also. It will ignore small iron to start with and I run mine with no discrimination, just learning what to ignore. If you buy one, get it from Rick(ND). He's the best, and the expert with sovereigns.

I use a Gt as my main detector; Elite as back up..Both are fantastic machines...clear , solid sounds on gold rings, diamond rings, and silver. I 've been detecting now for 4 years...these machines have given up about 140 rings and some terrifc rare coin finds..like an 1876 "shield nickel"; barber dimes, 1899 barber Half dollar...I'm pleased . Only I 'm not very good at finding bracelets and necklaces...I think I need to learn better how to detect for these items. Something tells me that I have left a lot of these in the low tide mud.

Magyar, I doubt that you signalled many fine chains and bracelets, as the detector reads each link independently and not as a unit. In the event you did get tone, it would more than likely be a broken low tone. I recovered an 18K fine gold chain and it sounded almost like a bottle cap. You dig bottle caps? If not maybe you should start!

I dig every sound that I hear......loud , soft...faint...broken.... I'm supposing that I just haven't hit any chain targets lately.
