Detector(s) used
EXCAL 2, SOV. GT
Primary Interest:
All Treasure Hunting
After 2 yrs of trying to find a detector that would do what I wanted it to do, has finally arrived.. and let me tell ya this much, I loved every minute of my hunt, it was just fantastic to me..actually almost all of my finds were in either wet sand or ankle deep water ( yes, I always seem to get the feet wet..lol) so my virgin hunt was a success, no gold or jewels yet, as this was my first test run, but I know now I have the right machine..and I love it.. I also hunted with a good friend, Rick, he did rather well too today..but we also met a fellow hunting there and low and behold guess what he was using.. the Sov. GT..I chatted with him a few minutes and told him I just got mine yesterday, so he asked to see how I had it set up.. I had two switches set wrong ( but thats ok as I am learning) so he fixed it for me..and I was in clad heaven for my short hunt.. He even came back about a hr later to make sure I was doing ok with those settings and I told him, man I getting hits alot more and boy did I dig some deep holes,but by golly, I found every target ( yeah me ) so needless to say the thrill is back.. I just had a ball I tell ya.. I have more faith in me and my gt.. I had it hip mounted, it was comfortable and lightweight for me with the straight shaft, which I love.. and not having a meter to look at didnt bother me at all. infact now I prefer no meter or vid... I didnt strike any gold yet, but I know I will.. I got the faith in me back and faith in my GT.. I loved it all.. so heres my short hunt pictures.

Glad you like the ML. Now you need to change "Detectors Used" on your profile. Hope you keep right on liking it!
 
great day rae , great finds
 
Alright Rea!
Sounds like you have a winner. The hip mount is a great idea for you; it is probably much more comfortable. I am really glad to see you so enthused about the hobby again.
Steve
