Lightbulb Any Tips From the Sov GT club?

Fedx delivered my Sov GT yesterday I charged up the battery and this weekend I'm taking it out for it's first spin.

Craig, I had not read that article on the GT. It is a good one. I especially liked the last paragraph. "The GT retails for $799." Good luck on getting a new one for that!

Default Sovereign GT.

Hi Guys,
Here in Australia the gt is a very popular detector and the one with eceptional depth. Their is an Australian manafacturer Coil teck who make the 15 inch wot which is available in the states and on our $2 coin which is 3/4 of an inch in diamenter which the sovereign with the wot can pick up at 14 inches in wet or dry sand. You can make your self up a digital meter to attach to the stem to give you a much better idea in a vdi what the target is. You can get all the info on dan clarks Somewhere in Time on the net. You can get all the parts to do the mod from Harbour Freight. com

Regards Pinpointa Down Under In Oz.
