Does anyone know how to decipher the serial # on the Sovereign GT? To determine it's age? I know already...contact minelab (done that no less than six times, and sent emails, still waiting, and waiting and waiting...)

BTW that is why I would NEVER by new from them...

There is no code in the Minelab serial number to determine date of manufacture. And Minelab only keeps records of serial numbers of machines that are still under warranty.
