New Sovereign

[SuperChickenCali]

Hey all,

Well, I finally bought my first beach machine; got if off eBay. I am the proud new owner of a (used) Minelab Sovereign XS-2A Pro. According to the FedEx tracker it should be here this Wednesday.

Does anyone have any experience with this machine and wouldn't mind giving a newbie some pointers? I hope to go this weekend for a few hours to the beach and give it a run through.

Also, would any one here be interested in meeting on Thursday mornings at some of the Orange/LA county beaches? (Maybe form an informal Thursday crowd?) I manage a retail store and Thursday's are pretty much the only days I can put aside a few hours for fun. I grew up the Huntington/Bolsa Chica/Sunset area, and am pretty familiar with those beaches.

Well thanks for any input,
Dan

Welcome Superchicken,

I just got me a sovereign too. Its supposed to be a great beach machine and land hunter too. Youll need an 8 inch coil in the future if you want to hunt parks.

Happy hunting,

Welcome Dan, If you want to go out on Thursday to MD, I live in SJC, I can drive up to HB, The area around the pier north & south hit that last Thursday not much. I could meet you at the Magnolia St. area of HB. I park on Magnolia just before the no parking sings and walk in. Let me know, or if you have another area that could be good. I like to start at around 6 AM to 9 or 10 depending on the hits. Send me a PM Vern2sjc

Thanks for the advise guys. Looks like my md is not coming in till Thursday now, stuck in FedEx limbo somewhere.

Vern2sjc, I would be very happy to meet up with you. I can't make it tomorrow... no md, but I'm thinking next week (10/7) looks good. I'll send you a pm when I get my schedule clear with the boss (read wife).

As for the name, LodiTom, I used to love the cartoon when I was kid. For some crazy reason, I still remember most of the words to the Super Chicken song. ;D

No problem Dan let me know when you can get free. I'm free everyday except Sunday. I work nights so I can hunt any morning. Vern
