I recently purchased a new Minelab Sovereign Elite and am delighted to say I was taken completely by surprise! When it arrived I opened the box to reveal this highly streamlined metal detector and could not wait to try it out. After assembling the Elite and adjusting the settings, I went off to one of my usual haunts to try it out. Upon arrival at site, I turned the Elite on and took two steps into the field, only to receive a positive signal straight away. I dug down to retrieve the target and turned the sod over and checked through it for my prize, but it was still in the hole. I then dug down a further spades depth and to my surprise a beautiful silver hammered coin at over 9 inches! The Minelab Sovereign Elite is a lovely, lightweight and well-balanced machine, which makes it more comfortable in detecting for long periods of time. It is super deep and has excellent discrimination and quick target retrieval. This is the best Minelab Sovereign ever thanks to Minelab's new BBS Technology, this machine is a must for every detectorist! Thank you Minelab. Danny M. - Northern Ireland
