I must have missed your post of all the finds you say you found, must have been lost in all in the string of post about the same thing you post over and over again. Seems like there is very few post of great finds like there was before as some wonder if we are to post finds or not as it seem like it is just test after test you do with some we agree with and some we like to say something so that are new to the Sovereigns don't get the wrong idea how they work and sell them because they don't work like us that find some deep coins and those in with iron.
It is rare i can max my sensitivity and also rare I have to go to auto or lower than 12 o'clock position, but it does happen in some places, but if you want the depth you have to put up with a little false signals and learn how to deal with it by EXPERIENCE not by reading about it and doing air test, or burying coins in the ground on either the Sovereign or Explorers/E-tracs. If my threshold is stable and not changing I know it is not working like it is meant to be, but don't want a solid null either so the sweep speed has to be slower so the coil can see everything close to the iron. Been to lot of different area in 3 different states and even did a little beach hunting in NJ with the Explorer with the worst ground has been around train station where the old clinker from the steam locomotive are and have used auto there, but know I will not get the deep targets as this is bad ground. Been it some tough ground with a lot of nails and it is close to a solid null, but slow the sweep speed down make a difference. Lot of thing like this we see by using it and learning it that you will never see in any test you do at home.
Been detecting since 1973 and using a Sovereign since 1996 and used to amaze many people plus myself at what the Sovereign can do once you use it, understand it and learn what it is telling you all by Experience in the Field, like I say you learn something new each time out with it detecting, learn nothing sitting in the closet.
Have a good one Critter and detect how you would like, but be careful what you post as some of us experiences users may question you if it is different than what we see in actual hunts, we got to give people actual facts from experience and sometimes those of us that know it well don't agree every time either as we may see it different as the way we hunt is different.
Good luck
