Well, I got my new Sovereign GT in the mail this past week and I also got a 15" WOT for it! Well, I got her all rigged up and took her for a trial run this afternoon. Tides weren't all that great but I figured I was just going to get the settings dialed in and try swinging this WOT! Well, it is definitely a whole new animal. I realized real quick that you have to run the sensitivity real low to keep from falsing. Let me tell you though, even with sensitivity at less than 1/4 this thing is CRAZY DEEP!!! After digging a few caps at 15"+ I just knew I was going to like this combo! Scrubbed the edge for a couple hours and managed lots of deep clad and then a real nice signal. Scoop after Scoop and it was finally in the pile. Kicked it out and that oh so beautiful sight of gold!!! I actually brought my phone so I was able to snap a couple pics before I even picked it up! Nice hefty 14K mens band 7.6grams. A few other misc. trinkets rounded out my 2 1/2hr hunt. Enjoy the In-Situ pics!!

Nice one ,all I got today was 11 cents and wet.
 

Congrats !!!! and it is a weird coincidence but I got a new GT about 3 weeks ago, and I was so impressed with it's performance, I ordered a 2nd GT for my wife. Well it came yesterday, and I only had time to put her together yesterday, so my wife had to go to work this afternoon. She told me to take her new machine out and try it for her. Well I have been hitting the beaches of South Jersey since September, and finally today with her new machine I found an 8 gram 14k men's white Gold wedding band !!!!

Sovereign GT's ROCK !!!
