On a side note John, I understand that the Sand Shark is the Salt water machine but will the Tiger Shark work at all there? JC

Hi JC, yes the Tiger Shark will work on the beach wet or dry. It is submersible to 200 feet. The Sand Shark will be only for the beach and ocean. Ok JC chat to you later and God Bless.

Default I agree

I use a Sovergin Elite. Have in the past gotten grain of rice size pieces of gold from about 1.25 - 1.5*. The first one almost got thrown out thought it was a hotrock. It was a piece covered with like a thin coat of caliche. Like you stated, work slow, listen good and use good phones. It's not an Extreme, but it'll do.

Like I say small finds are cool, pennies make dollars. What other hobby gives you fresh air exercise and a paycheck too? Not to mention all the great people we get to meet!

Default Amp

Hi John

My Soverign Elite with an excellerator 5" coil seems to be able to keep up with my Whites GM 3 in air tests. I'll have to try them side by side in the field.

Did the amp have schematics, or was it something he was selling. Be interested to know

Thanks!!!
