Danny Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Went beach detecting with the old sovereign and it keeps on surprising how well it goes on beaches already swept with newer detectors . The same ground had been covered by a mine lab 3030. The sovereign had no problems picking up the silver ring at the bottom of the hole , I even dug a drainage channel to allow water to escape . After half an hour was about to give up when the ring popped out. 5 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/2005-sovereign-gt-oldie-but-a-goodie-pulled-a-silver-ring-32cm-down-in-the-wet-sand/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted May 1, 2016 Author Share Posted May 1, 2016 Would of preferred the ring to be on the surface :) would of saved a lot of digging and one split pair of shorts in the wrong place :) 1 2 1 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/2005-sovereign-gt-oldie-but-a-goodie-pulled-a-silver-ring-32cm-down-in-the-wet-sand/#findComment-24077 Share on other sites More sharing options...
auminesweeper Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 The Sovereign has to be one of the best beach machines ever, even the older ones can hold their own well done on finding the ring. john Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/2005-sovereign-gt-oldie-but-a-goodie-pulled-a-silver-ring-32cm-down-in-the-wet-sand/#findComment-24078 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Posted May 2, 2016 Author Share Posted May 2, 2016 Yeah I have not tried the latest except a sdc2300 which is a dig everything PI machine if you take it to the beach which I have , but it goes to show what you are saying could be right . I like the sovereign , it's recovery rate might be a little slow so I'm going to compliment that with a mxt pro or all pro . i think the sovereign is pretty good in the wet sand. It also picked up more than enough coins to cover the fuel for the trip. Once again same ground that other machines missed.
