I saw the memo sent out to dealers and they are supposed to keep this under wraps but since I'm not a dealer I haven't signed any such contract and will spill the beans!
They must have liked Garrett's At Pro concept because it's a water proof unit that is as comfortable on land as in the water! No, not the design concept somebody made up and was floating around the web. This is the real deal! Built in waterproof meter/control box are one unit somewhat like the Explorer/Etrac control box. Trigger pinpoint. New digital controls displayed on screen such as edit/accept of any numbers you desire, adjustable iron mask down to zero iron rejection, 10 times faster processor, audio boost/limits adjustment, and a few other nice new features. Lithium Ion Light weight pack, along with carbon shaft and a BBS version of the Pro coil makes this unit a scant 2.5lbs!
Here's what they said..."With the advent of the new Sovereign DW (digital water proof) design, we have eliminated both the Excal and the GT, providing more features in a lighter design, all while lowering the cost. We realize that BBS technology has some advantages not found in even our FBS units, including better depth and ID in certain forms of mineralization and more stabile operation. We also realize Sovereign and Excal owners don't want to be bogged down by too many bothersome controls to get a machine to run all out when they'd rather be hunting, so we've added just the things our customers have been asking for such as expanded notch and iron rejection controls without over doing it."
It's also got something called a boost mode for extra depth by outputting more power to the coil when conditions allow such as low minerals or RF noise! Pinpoint has also been improved and now has an onscreen display for that. You can also assign custom labels to specific target ID numbers! The ID scale is still 180 based.

Sorry, April Fools! One could dream, can't he?
