Not long ago I asked Chef for his honest opinion when I was deciding whether or not I should part with my GT to get a much lighter machine like the NOKTA FORS
CoRe.
Chef said yes,the CoRe is a good machine,OK! And yes its quite a bit lighter than the GT......great!!
Says I,what's it like on the beach?hmmmm!!!! says Chef"you probably come off the beach wondering how much you have just walked over that you Wouldn't have done with your "Sovereign GT"
Well Chef,your only 100% correct.!!!!👍
What a complete waste of bloody time that was today!!
P.S.Anyone want ta sell their Sovereign GT?Huh........ Cry spot on Chef)

Bearing in mind it's the lightness I am after,also,budget!! Huh

That wasn't a GT it was an Elite but all the Sovereigns have the same performance changes between models were for sales pure and simple.
As I've said before nothing comes close to the Sov so if you want a lighter machine stay inland or take up knitting  Wink

Should have kept my old beauty Chris, I think that I can give account of both machines now, as having used the gt,plus elite for meny hours, and now the etrac,  I believe the gt, is deeper, has no problem working in the water, but will null out in iron and coke, but the etrac will weed out the goodies in the iron beds, sensativity has to be maxed out to get near the depth of the gt, and it's got to be knocked back, working in the waves, gt raw power, etrac more refined, is it worth the £500, difference when both were in production, not so sure.

Well I was very pleased with my Deus on the beach this afternoon.  My settings seem to work quite well.  I only went really to get away from the Bamboo for a couple of hours, knew I wouldn't find much, nobody does at Saundersfoot.

I never have the intention of digging 2ft down, too much like hard work, usually for nothing. Smallest find, a little swivel at about 8in. Thank goodness for Mr.Garrett or I'd never have found it in the sand & black that came out. 
The largest item, nearly blew my ears off,   a Man Hole Cover, with just a covering of sand.

Save up and get a Deus Chris.  If it's there and you walk over it the Deus will find it.

I'm the same Chris but occasionally I get the urge to see the sea and hear the gulls calling. Always the same though, never find much round here.

Hi Val re your comments on Saundersfoot must say if you catch it right its a productive beach
Its the only Welsh beach i have had a 4 gold ring day these were all found at the depression in the sand below the regular fishing area way down the beach my mate had 3 the same day you are correct in the fact that most of the beach above this area is nothing but a rubbish trap though
Has been spoiled a bit because when they dredge out the muck from the harbour they dump it on the sands just below the low tide mark to let the incoming tide spread it all out...PaulB.
