Sweet Ring! Yep, too bad the Shark won't find small or deep gold for maybe what, three people out of a thousand? :laughing7:

Lorraine I got a shark and found 2 gold rings last year with it. Depending on how deep the ring is, 12 inches you will hear a faint sound, shallow the sound is loud and prominent. This year my shark is my backup to my modified excal. Barry

Thanks , Barry.

I've been thinking about a Sand Shark lately....just a tad worried about the weight...I think it is a bit heavier than the GT?

HI Lorraine! The shark weighs in at 4.4lbs vs the Sov GT at 4.8lbs. I find mine to be pretty well balanced on the stock shaft, but have seen others using a plugger ... etc.

Lorraine: Before you jump on the PI bandwagon, try only hunting in all metal mode with your Sovereign for a few weeks
to see how you like digging in the rocks without discriminate. Record all finds and time spent hunting.

A few weeks later switch back to discriminate and repeat the same process. If there is a lot of trash where you hunt you should
do far better in discriminate as you will be able to cover more ground, with a lot less digging.

You should do better buying an 8 inch Tornado DD which is approx 1/2 the size of your ten inch coil, plus a used inline probe which can be used as an even smaller coil with less depth plus find targets in the hole. This will allow you to snake between rocks which are less than 10 inches apart.
