sovereign series question

[GuANu]

I was wondering if anyone can give me details on what (if much) the differences are between the sovereign gt and the elite? besides the straight shaft and silent search... i dont see much difference because they use the same coil... and the gt is the "newer current model"

thanks

I have an elite. The biggest new feature on the gt is "accu trak" ground tracking option in the all metal mode.
It's designed to be used as an occasional gold machine on the goldfeilds. GT= Gold and Treasure.

I think a good used or cheap new elite if you can find one is the better value outta the 2. Unless you intend on using the ground tracking feature (only good in all metal mode).

Also got other 'novelties' like silent search and being able to turn off the iron mask and such I beleive (been a while since I researched this).

Also the GT is fitted with the straight shaft here compared to the elites s bend shaft.

Same coil same underlying unit-just slightly updated.

Hope that helps.

Have fun,
Salvager

I HAD THE FIRST SOVEREIGN THEY MADE AND THERE IS HARDLY ANY DIFFRENCE IN ANY OF THEM.IF YOU ASK MINE LAB THEY WILL TELL YOU THEY ARE BASICALLY ALL THE SAME AND IF YOU USE ONE YOU WILL HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH ANY OF THEM.I REALLY LIKE LIKE THE SOVEREIGN. IT DID BETTER FOR ME THAN MY GARRETT 1500 BUT THEN MY GARRETT FREEDOM 2 COIN COMMANDER DID BETTER FOR ME THAN MY 1500 WHEN I USE A VID I DO NOT DIG WHEN IT TELLS IT IS A BAD TARGET AND I MISS A LOT THAT WAY I THINK.
