Thomas Dankowski's Metal Detecting Forum

The more that I use the new to me Sovereign XS-2 the better I like it. It is excellent in discriminating out iron and still hit on small items and the depth is very good. What I didn't care for at first using it is it seems like the target under the coil is bigger than it actually is, hard to explain. For instance if you put a coin on top of the ground and scan over it with the coil you will get a signal not only eight in top of it but also around it. I find if I wiggle the coil over the target several times I can almost feel the exact spot where the target is. I was going to sell it but I decided to keep it.
