Small world, Bill.  I still live near Mansfield, Ohio, and have also bought detectors from Dick Noel at Earths Treasures;  one of the most interesting at the time was the Sovereign, about a year after you bought yours.  Deepest detector I had at the time.  I guess I’m in the minority as I’ve bought more Garrett detectors than any other brand over the years, mainly because of the quick learning curve and their simplicity. I use different brands now, but still have a Garrett as a go to for some situations.  Happy hunting!

Filled up a museum with my old 4900.Having tested hundreds of detectors from around the world in the last 53+ years that's too tough to call.

What I remember most about the XS was that huge loud "bong" sound it would make when it hit a target like a quarter.  I had never heard anything like it!

Funny how small the world is.  I went to college at Ashland College (not a university back then) and never heard of Earth's Treasures and Dick Noel until I moved to California.  Sure miss that part of the country, it's a great place to live.
