Sovereign xs versus gt or elite???

[basicguy2003]

I am rather new at using the mine lab technology and was wondering if there is a lot of difference i/e depth sensitivity etc. between the XS and the newer machines since I have recently acquired an XS and I am really impressed with it so far.

The XS is a very nice machine ........its the one I have and and use as a back up to my elite.......I got the elite first but the xs is very nice as well....I think the elite and xs are the best two.......(IMHO) Adam

The XS is the Sovereign that made Minelab so popular with the coin hunters. This detector comes with the 8 inch Coinsearch coil that also was the best coil Minelab made for the Sovereigns, but was not waterproof like the BBS and the new Tornado coils.
I feel the XS is still the most sought after Sovereign series as far as used. The GT is the next most popular too I feel as it seem to be a bit more sensitive than the others are. Unlike some of the others the Elite is the one Sovereign I didn't like as much as the others as they changed the placement of the controls and found I kept turning the wrong controls. I also felt I never seen the depth I did with the other Sovereign, tried 2 different one and felt they were the same.
I sold my GT and will get another back in the spring, but still have a XS on my wall and probably always will have a XS in my battery of detectors.
