I have a chance to purchase a older Sovereign. It is very nice yet but doesnot have a meter. I think it maybe the orginal sovereign. Coil says coin search and is a 8 in. It has 4 knobs and 3 toggles for controls. How good were these detectors and what may it be worth? I just don't know much about this model and looking for help. Thanks Joe

The original SOV some people swore by.
And if you want a meter you can buy one from sunray.
I wouldn't pay over $300.00.

If it's in good shape go ahead and get it.
I have two Coinsearch coils 8" and 11" and they are great. The Coinsearch coils are splash proof but not submersion proof. They're light and really sensitive to small non-ferrous targets.
How much is the seller asking for the detector?

Minelab makes a digital meter for the GT that retails for $175 which you will have to learn the numbers on.You may find used one for less or even the dealer you bought your GT from can make you a great deal too on a new one. This is real simple if you are a coin hunter as a copper penny, the clad coins and the silver will read 179-180 while the new zinc pennies made after 1982 plus the IH plus some of the real early Wheaties will read 176-177. Now most all nickles will read 144-145, but a few war nickles that have silver in them will read as high as 151, but still have the nickle tone to them. Some of the older and deeper nickles will read lower, but too still have the nickle tone to them.
Like any great detector it all takes some time to learn it and feel the meter is very important to help learn it.
