sov gt

[metalmonster]

used to use sov elite now gone to the gt

finding it very hard to get it settled on the beach constant chattering and nulling out
anyone got any suggestions

[Val Beechey]

You've probably got the sensitivity set too high.  I've got a Safari, so don't know anything about the GT but I know if I have mine set too high it drives me mad.
The nulling could be large iron.  Some one is sure to know something about it.

hi val thanks for reply had it set at 11-12 oclock

[Val Beechey]

Sorry that doesn't mean much to me, mine goes up in numbers.   As an example,  I would usually have it set at 16 - 18 for field work and down it to 14 for my local beaches which are trashy. Lower setting picks up less of the deeper trash but of course might miss goodies.

I have noticed the storms have churned up a load of rubbish. Last week I got fed up with the constant blurr of signals, like listening to Morse code, so I went down to 12 hoping to just pick up stuff higher in the sand. All that deeper stuff was a pain.

Hope you get it sorted for the tides next week end, looks like they're going to be really low.

set mine at 11 oclock and its fine , if it gets chatty turn to 12-1 or run it in auto but you will loose a little depth in auto .

discrim just turned on , notch the same , iron mask on  , track on , band 1 , threshold tone barely audible  , that's my std settings inland or beach , hope that helps , it works for me anyway

turn sens down till it stops

[metalmonster]

thankyou very much for the replys will try it later thanksagain

Make sure you clean the sand between the coil and cover, I've sealed mine, I run my sensitivity from 10 to 3 o'clock.

[metalmonster]

tried tonight now and after getting good signals and digging first hole nothing cant work it out

[dances with badgers]

try it in auto

[dances with badgers]

did you get it second hand?maybe plug needs rewiring?

[metalmonster]

hi dwb yeah got it 2nd hand but it is immaculate was hardly used seems to work ok on objects in garden and so just not in the sand

[metalmonster]

what do you mean by plug dwb

[Chef Geoff]

I think Mike means the coil plug, Where are you based? The best idea would be to hook up with another Sov user and test your coil at least then you can narrow down where the fault lies. Does it have the standard coil fitted or a third party?

[metalmonster]

hi geoff it has a def coil all terrain on it
