The Sun Ray DTI Meter for the Minelab Sovereign
Author: Internet Tip
For those of you that don't have a Sun Ray meter, and are thinking about getting a meter for the Sovereign, or just wondering how accurate the meter is.......... First of all let me say this. The Sun Ray digital meter is about as accurate as one can be with present technology. If the Sovereign can see the target, the meter can also. The only time it will be off is at the very fringes of the Sov's depth capabilities. Other factors that can affect the meter readout is a trash target close by to a good one. This however can most times be overcome just by narrowing down the sweep directly over the good target, and approaching the target(s) from all angles. If the Target is deep and reading low, a quick wiggling of the coil directly over the target will most times bring the reading up to within a digit of the correct number. The Sun Raymeter is a must for hunting trashy areas, where trash signals can over come you sometimes. One of the most important factors of having this meter is it allows you to hunt all areas using little or no discrimination or notch. You can rely on tones, and double check with what the meter is telling you. Now you may ask what about those good targets that fall in the trash range? Well let me tell you this. If you are hunting a pull tab infested area, you will soon get used to what they sound like. If you get a reading in the same range on the meter that sounds cleaner, or just softer, or just plain different for that matter, dig it up! I once found a silver 3 cent piece that was reading 166 on the meter(right in the middle of pull tab range) in a park that had so many pull tabs you couldn't swing without hearing at least one. just because it sounded clean. This is another reason for not using any discrimination or notch, and the greatest reason for using a sun ray meter on your Sovereign.
...

I'll never forget the first time I swung a metal detector and it BEEPED! I dug up my treasure and I held that shiny circle of metal in my hand--a quarter!! Wow! A whole twenty-five cents! Since then I have treasured hunted all over the world. This site has info on metal detecting san diego beaches and hopefully anything else you need to know about metal detecting, treasure hunting, and finding gold!

Good luck!

Geocaching -- The New High--Tech Sport
Author: James Chartwell
There are about 150,000 of them spread throughout 213 countries and you need satellites to help you find them. What are they? They're geocaches and geocaching is a sport that is quickly gaining popularity.

The geocaches come in all different sizes and shapes. Usually stored in a waterproof container, these caches are treasures of minimal value. The container is often a Tupperware container or ammo box. The "treasures" can be just about anything you can imagine: a mini-stapler; a toy soldier; foreign coins.

How do you find them? That's the satellite part. If you haven't been in a cave for the last five years, you've probably heard of the Global Positioning System, or GPS. Just in case you're one of the cave people, GPS is a system of 24 satellites orbiting the earth at an altitude of 11,000 miles. A small handheld receiver, a little larger than a cell phone, picks up signals from the satellites and can pinpoint your position anywhere on earth, sometimes as accurately as 3 meters.

If you go to Geocaching.com you can enter your location by ZIP Code, state, or country and get a list of caches in your area. Each listing has a log of who found the cache, when it was found, and usually what trinkets were taken and left.

You are given the coordinates of the cache in degrees of longitude and latitude. Enter those numbers in your GPS and start following that little handheld device. It may sound easy, but depending on the individual cache, it can be a challenge.

Some examples of hiding places are in holes at the base of large trees, holes in the face of a cliff, and some are even found in urban areas. One is under a bridge accessible only by rope. Another clever place was created when a cable company worker attached an empty cable connection box to the side of a building.

As you can imagine, public parks are popular places for hiding caches. However, they're not allowed in National Parks in the U.S. Geocachers, being outdoor sort of people, are mostly ecologically--minded, and there is even a "cache in trash out" program that promotes participants picking up trash that they may find while hunting treasure. Many places require permits for placing caches. Park authorities' main concern is damage to sensitive areas such as wetlands or locations of endangered flora or fauna.

GPS receivers start at about $75.00 US and can be purchased at some department stores, sporting goods stores, or ordered online. Amazon.com often has very good prices. Geocaching really is a lot of fun and it's a great way to get outdoors and get some exercise.
