I am looking into upgrading my old sovereign. Treasure hunting on the rise as number of finds reaches record high NEWS.SKY.COM There were 1,378 treasure finds in England, Wales and Northern Ireland in 2022, according to provisional figures... What are you thinking about upgrading to Mack ? Sovs where top detectors in there day just had a slow recovery speed Xp seem to do decent detectors , mates got one and seems to do well with it Im still using an explorer se which is ok but heavy , might see about upgrading to an equinox in the future Quote Link to post Share on other sites
