Sovereign GT or Elite for the beach?

[Dissbloke]

Hello people,my friend wants to get back into the hobby and wants a minelab for the beach,whats the difference first between the GT and Elite and any good settings would be gratefully received thankyou

I use the elite,and is great on the wet,settings I use are notch and disc off sensitivity at 10 oclock,variable tone,and all metal mode but your friend may not want to use all metal mode,until he gets use to the tones,keep it low and slow,and dig everything to start with,it goes deep so be prepared to dig,but its worth it.HAPPY HUNTING.

I use GT but both great on the beach, I love the tones on these detectors they are the best

Very similar from what I know! Slippery and dirty paws both use gt and have guided me well with the elite which is the earlier model. Elite was a bit cheaper than the gt from the 2nd hand machines that I could find. Both take the same battery pack.

I have got to give it to the guys on here. There is to my surprise more skill involved than machine choice. Just search their posts and see the frequency of the bling! To see what the elite does in he hands of the novice read my thread day4andbeond.

Goodluck.

Both very good being multi frequency. Jerry.

My son uses a GT and my mate has the elite, nothing in them as far as performance so i would look for a mint condition elite and save yourself some dosh
