Title: Sovereign Gt
Post by: Darkman on April 23, 2014, 02:44:49 PM
Hi all just got a sovereign gt can anyone suggest the best coil for mainly beach work.I have been using my explorer xs but got a bit of a bad back and even with harness on still find it a bit of a weight not as young as I used to be.looked at a few detectors and thought give the gt a go .Reading up on them people have  pluse and negatives on them nice to get some feedback on someone who useses it on beach  :D

hi i use the gt and find it very good beach and land.i use the wot coil and sef 15 by 12.but still gets heavy even though i chest mount after a couple of hours.like badger says you will have good finds with the standard coil and will b a bit lighter on the arm.hope this helps.good luck

New to this site and to North Wales, although in my favor I ,lived in South wales for seven years many years ago.
Been detecting over 40 years in this country and others.
For me the Sov GT is the best all round model on the market and believe me I have owned a few like most of us, it works as well on the beach as on fields and although I have tried different coils I have found the standard Tornado coil that comes with the machine perfect for both, of course if you suspect a hoard could be in a field you could always go for a much bigger coil but for general use the Tornado is fine, stable sensitive with great depth, I like to use it chest mounted as I find the machine out of balance if the box is used on the stem.
I now live in Porthmadog and would like to make friends with others in this area.

Happy hunting groundhog
