Proof that the Sovereign GT is an Awesome old park/old coin machine.

[JASONSPAZ1]

First off. I admit these are old photos from a hunt long ago. The reason I am posting these pics is to kinda respond to Habanero's post in regards to using a Sovereign as an old coin hunter for parks. Well here is a picture of an old park that myself and others have hit for years with XLt's and DFX's. I took these pictures and the picture of the park after being there the first time with my Sovereign GT after years of hitting it with other machines. The GT is a great old coin hunter. Plain and simple.

Great finds! Beauty of a park too. Thanks. HH. Matt

Mercs are fun. Barbers are real nice. But seateds are for sure a blast to dig. Good finds!

Jason,nice results for going over areas covered with other detectors.Once learned the Sovereign will find the missed or left behind coins.Thanks for the reminder great post.HH Ron

I don`t have a gt but I sure hope my sovereign can pick up some silver in the places I have found it in the past...I`ve got several seated dimes and 1 quarter with my old 6000 pro and eagle II sl....now it`s thew sovereigns turn...lol

Yes, you will. I was a big Whites fan but let me tell you the Sovereign is much deeper and has better ability to see coins in iron. Kept going back and fourth from Explorers to Whites myself, but just couldn't find happiness anymore...So I figured I'd try a GT and it's been fantastic for me. Deepest machine I've ever owned.

Also, since you seemed to like your 6000...You'll probably like the Sovereign. The Sovereign is a digital machine but it has analog controls in terms of dials and switches. Not only that, but it's audio is rich and long and detailed like some of the old analog units...But with even more traits such as tone alerts and so on. Best of both worlds and a machine with the most extensive "language" of any machine I've ever owned. The problem with digital on most machines on the market is they highly process and sanatize the audio qualities of a target, to the point where much is lost in translation. Some only report a "beep" or "burp" because it's been so highly processed, while others try to report more than that but still don't give you the full story about what a target is trying to tell you...Because they've processed and cleaned up the audio for a more "solid" or uniform report on it. It's like buying neatly wrapped meat at the supermarket, versus being the guy who is actually cutting the steaks off the cow. I want to see and hear EVERYTHING and let my ears and eyes decide.

The other big perk to me about the Sovereign is it's VDI is a straight forward voltage report tied directly to the audio output. What that means is there is no lag time between hearing the target and seeing it's VDI. Also, because it's a straight forward voltage report (VDI #) of the target's conductivity, you also aren't losing VDI traits that can be lost by highly processed VDI systems that run the target through so much software that I feel something about the target VDI traits is lost. Just like the audio in those terms. In fact, there are some Sovereign meters floating around out there that are analog voltage meters just like the old analog machines used. I don't care for that type of meter myself, as a digital VDI that I use on my GT is much faster in both reaction time and "splitting hairs" between various VDI numbers...For a really high resolution look at one target versus another that is close to it in conductivity value. In fact, I don't know of any other machine that has such high resolution from foil all the way up to copper coins. In the right hands this can be a deadly weapon for gold ring hunters using the right strategies on what they dig and what they avoid, such as tabs. Oddly shaped trash will also range by 3 VDI numbers or more as you sweep over it from different angles, while most rings, being round, will lock onto one or two VDI numbers.
