Did some digging deep for these guys. Old Field next to an old homesite first established in the late 1700s.
Has been hunted by myself and some of my guests over the years. Deus, Teknetics, Nautilus, ATPs, and others have swung over this ground and picked it's goodies. The sov proves there's still plenty lurking down there.

No meter, just sounds, nice and relaxing hunt. HH












Here are a few of the keepers from the day.

That machine really punches deep for me too...consistantly!

Looks like your battery issue is resolved. :hello2:

I love not having the meter. No display crutch. Just great audio. Really an impressive machine and I can't wait to get several hundred hours in with it. I've just tasted it's reputation thus far.... seems to be well deserved.

Good for you mopping up with the Sov! Great missed finds.

Yea, I left the Batts charging overnight until the indicator light kicked, instead of the "charge for x hours method". That seemed to solve at least the first batteries issue right there. Never had to change to another pack yet!

My only gripe is to run it hot, it nulls a lot in the red clay we have here. If there's any iron around, forget it, sens on auto or from 12 o clock on. But even at 12 o clock with the SEF coil, I picked up that small buckle under 14" of dirt and another 4 or so of laid over hay. The sound was choppy with some nulling here and there but it does have an iron shank. The block i was about 8" down and under another 4 of laid hay and the signal was LOUD and clear. Fun machine but only fun in open relatively clean fields and woods.

Congrats on those finds, sure looks like you had to go deep for them. :occasion14: I like that thimble the best.
