Some finds with my new Sov. GT

[Tony N (Michigan)]

Dear friends,
Yesterday I went out with the Sovereign GT while waiting for my daughter to get out of a concert.

The pic is some of what I found.

The silver ring is from Mexico and is probably .925 The wheatie is a '42' and the ring is of course junk jewelry. I thought it was going to be gold when I first saw it but then saw the junky stone.

I was trying to dig the deep faint sounding tones.

Thanks for looking.

Tony

good work , nice first wheat for the sov. I know you have dug a zillion wheats but congrats on the first Sov. wheat . I think you will enjoy it after you reach a certian level of confidence, when I first started with the sov. I found it to be very annoying and spent plenty of days shaking my head in frustration. eventually those days ceased to exist and it was all fun and decent finds started to surface, maybe go back to a few places that you had sucess at with the musky and see what the sov. can ring up .......... good luck Tony I wish you many good days and I hope you really find your nitche with that new machine, I know you have the brains and paitence to suceed..........

Tony,nice finds even though your you're on my home turf in Oxford.Give the Sovereign some time.

Hey Ron,
Sorry about coming on your turf

But guess what? After detecting that park I was walking by a little sign on the grass that stated to stay off the grass because bug killer was just sprayed on it.
I went to the car and began washing my hands as best I could but they had a slightly burning sensation. I guess that'l teach me to hunt in your neck of the woods.

You can come over to my turf anytime. It would be great to have you over.

Yea, but, look at all those worthless memorial pennies.

Yea, that silver ring was one of those deepie sounding hits which I love to dig. I was pleasantly surprised to dig it up.

I could have dug a couple pocketfulls of change but was mostly listening for the deep ones.

Oh man, talk about annoying! There are times when I'd like to wrap the thing around a tree! I am just so used to my Explorer. Maybe I'm just getting too old (hard to teach an old dog new tricks).

We will continue to use it though. I haven't been using my Explorer in order for force myself to learn the Sov. What is difficult is knowing what is a good deepie and a bad deepie. I'm still digging deep bent iron nails. But, I did that every now and then with the Explorer too. And I dig small iron square nails too every now and then (more often than not) as they give a silverish hit.

But sometimes I get a good hit sound then go into pinpoint and notice the object is off the edge of the coil and is indeed iron. When I put that object in the middle of my coil and go slightly back and forth is indeed does give that low iron hit.

Thank you Adam for the kind words.

they sound just about perfect in some cases and I have to investigate,I make myself sick some days I know its a nail but I cant justify leaving it,

Don't forget a penny is a penny and ten make a dime and you know the rest

Tony,I thought I saw a no metal detecting sign on that park.

 

[Tony N (Michigan)]

I always obey signs.

Just do like the illegals do here tell them you can't read or write English.

This is one of the things I notice with the GT over the other Sovereigns is that iron does fool me once in a while where I think it is a deepie. I run the iron mask on so that it can see a coin close to iron maybe some of the problem as the owners manual will say plus the higher sensitivity I like to run, but found out a way to tell the iron. I will get the signal and while in disc I will try to get the signal to the tip of the coil so I know what area it is, then come at it from a 90 degree angle and if it is still there I dig, but if it nulls I will turn a little more and if it still nulls I know it is iron. Also iron will move or be a one way signal too. Going to pinpoint too will help, but if there is a coin next to iron the iron may pull the signal one way too. These I have to pinpoint in disc and use my S1 probe to find the target.These are the ones that just sound too good to be a false on iron and will repeat more than one direction and may null in 2 different angles.Some you just got to dig too as they are too questionable not to dig. The fencing staples and some square nails that are bent are the most famous for fooling you.
