Since I began Metal Detecting I have hunted with many great machines and it has been a pleasure to swing them. I bought my first Sovereign in 1993 and fell in love with it, sold it, bought another one and traded it.
Always believing I was getting a better Detector. I'm not saying the other Detectors were not great and a pleasure to use because they were and I dug many a keepers with each of them.
If you haven't Detected with one its really hard to describe the unique nature of a Sovereign. I have been trying out my best friends new Minelab X-Terra 70 and it is a well balanced Detector and very stable
with many usable features with several great Coils and if operated correctly it will go Deep. All in all a great Detector that I would Highly recommend. I grabbed my Modified 13 year old Sovereign to day after hunting with the X-Terra 70, and I realized just how much I enjoy hunting with it and the truth is I will never sell this one or trade it. I dug up several nice keepers with both Detectors to day but enjoyed using the Sovereign the most and out of all the Detectors I have used the Sovereign has always been the most rewarding one out of them all. I have not swung a detector yet that I can ID with out a meter and know when its silver time
or a nice old nickel. Its just plain dog gone hard to not like the tones of a Sovereign. It took many hours to learn this unique Detector but the rewards are highly rewarding when you do learn them.
As all detectors, it has its strengths and weakness but all in all its a wonderful Detector that goes DEEP. I will be getting my self another new top of the line Detector soon but have no intentions of putting my faithful Sovereign aside, it will hunt with all of the Top of the Line Big Dogs out there. A young gun laughed at my 13 year old Sovereign and told me to go out and buy a new state of the Art Detector like his, one time.
At the end of the day he was singing a different tune.
