Thanks for the info Rick, and yes I would like the web address of that forum you mention.

I too am just accross the border, about 40-50 miles from Fargo ND.

Have heard mostly good things about the Sovereign, you must have had some real success with it in the past to give it the praise you do. I agree completely with you that if its a coin I want it. The descrimination you describe sounds like what I want too. What can I expect to pay, best price for the Sovereign XS-2a, the Sun-Ray Meter and Probe?

Thanks again for the info.

Mark
