Why make the SOVEREIGN GT waterproof if the EXCALIBUR already is?
What features? Being able to turn Iron Mask on or off. Being able to change frequencies, All Metal, trasmits on two freq just like Excal. Zero motion pinpointing. BBS and able to detect a gold ring or coin under a railroad spike or other trash just like an Excal. Being able to change batteries on the fly. Being able to change to larger coils like the 15" WOT or Butterfly. Ability to use premium headphones like Black Widow's or Grey Ghost underwater phones.
The Sov GT is the king of the beach detectors and if Minelab offered it in a waterproof version, they wouldn't sell the others. Mine has paid for itself more than a few times and the time saved is priceless. View attachment 653616
On my custom waterproofed Sov GT it was in an ikelite camera case large enough for it to sit about 2 inches from the bottom where the coil cable existed through a waterproof connector. It was mounted in the center of the top that clamped shut and sat suspended inside the case, if the case leaked it would have to have at least 2 inches of water in it to make it to the control box....
All of the major controls were extended outside the case through waterproofed connectors...
