WILL SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN THE SOVEREIGN WIGGLE?
- Thread starter John(H)

It's the same as when a detectorist using a concentric coil swings complety past and then back again over a target to try to get the signal to repeat.
Sov users call it the wiggle because with our double d coils, only a small slice of the center of the coil is required to get the signal. We can just move the coil a couple of inches back and forth over the target as opposed to having to completely pass the target with the outer edge of the coil before we change direction to pass over the target again.
Hope that helps.

Here is the link:

Once there, scroll down to the bottom of the page and click the NEXT button. On the next page, scroll down to the bottom and click on JIM YATES TIPS PAGE.
Once you get to JIM YATES TIPS PAGE, click on the link SWINGING THE SOVEREIGN. Its imbedded in that short write up. I'd copy and paste it here but I don't know if that is a proper thing to do, so I wont.
But in a nutshell, what I'm learning is that the sovereign wiggle will give you a continuous tone instead of a beep.

The Sovereign wiggle isn't a sweep back and fourth.When a deep target gives a weak high pitch and reading the wiggle will lock on to a higher stronger reading a lot of times to 180 on the meter these are usually keepers.I have found silver dimes this way that would have otherwise read as a pull tab.The wiggle also works in higher trash areas to separate good targets.
Hi when you find a target and think it sounds good from 2 directions, pinpoint it the best you can in all metal then when you think you are directly over the target WITH OUT MOVING THE COIL switch back to dis and just wiggle the coil . thats all that is to it. If you get a sweet sound DIG IT.
Welcome to a great detector and have some patience with it as it will do you good.
Now on the wiggle we hear different tones and some nulling too when sweeping the coil on the ground and you will see there will be some tones that will get your attention when you have some experience with the Sovereign. Now you want to get those tones to read as high as you can get them to go and this is done with the Sovereign wiggle. What you do is swing the coil only over that small area which will be a inch or less trying to get the tones as high as possible and yet trying to keep it a solid tone by going back and forth a little faster. With this you are moving the coil slightly to the right and slightly to the left so it will look like you are just wiggling the coil trying to get the numbers and the tones as high as you can and as solid as possible.
