I purchased the sovereign xs2a pro off ebay the other day so now I just wait. I started out md'ing with this machine and found alot of deep coins with it. I've been using the xterra 505 since I got back into the hobby and I just don't like it. Maybe its the electronics on the machine that drive me crazy. Maybe im just partial to the sovereign. Anyways can't wait to hit the ground again with the new (old) detector. Got a lot of beaches to cover here in FL. Happy hunting
