Introducing the Sovereign GT

1. Introduction
Congratulations on purchasing Minelab’s Sovereign GT detector. The Sovereign GT metal
detector has been designed for general purpose detecting with features to suit the coin and
treasure hunter plus automatic ground balance for the gold fields.
The Sovereign GT detector uses Minelab’s unique
Broad Band Spectrum (BBS)
technology,
which enables the Sovereign GT to automatically transmit simultaneously in
multiple frequencies.
The benefits of multiple frequency technology are numerous and include increased depth,
greater sensitivity to non-ferrous metal objects, increased accuracy in discrimination and
increased accuracy in target identification. Add to this, Minelab’s automatic ground balance
and the Sovereign GT becomes a very versatile, all-purpose detector.
The Sovereign GT is designed to locate valuable metal objects in high trash areas and in
areas of extreme salt or mineralisation, conditions commonly encountered by gold and
treasure hunters around the world. When using a single or dual-frequency detector under
these conditions, a detectorist may experience a significant loss of detection depth and
discrimination accuracy. However, the Sovereign GT, with its BBS technology and automatic
ground balance, compensates for interference from these ground conditions and enables you
to penetrate deeply and discriminate accurately at full depth.
The Sovereign GT is simple to operate, having very few controls that require adjustment after
they have been set. The extremely advanced, yet simple-to-use, discrimination features
enable you to accurately select only the types of metal objects that you want to find and to
ignore those that you consider junk. The variable signal tone responses enable you to
accurately identify the object found before you recover it.
If you have any questions or comments regarding the Sovereign GT or any other Minelab
product, then please feel free to contact us via your local Authorised Minelab Dealer or write
to us direct.
Minelab Electronics wish you every success in your treasure hunting
.
