About the Writers

Mike Keener and Otto Feiler together have more than 45 years of experience in

metal detecting. Mike has been a Sovereign user since they were first introduced in

1991 and during that time has watched the machine evolve into a top contender in

the race for the best.

Otto has only been using the Minelab Broad Band Spectrum technology since May

of 1996 but has found a winner in these new and exciting detectors. After using

many brands since first getting interested in the hobby in 1972, Otto has been

completely won over by this remarkable breakthrough.

A Little History Lesson

The first Sovereign, introduced in 1991, had the new technology called BBS

“Broad Band Spectrum” where the metal detector transmits 17 different frequencies

simultaneously from 1.5 khz to 25.5 khz at 1.5 khz increments. This was also the

only Sovereign to have full rubber covers on the switches.

The second generation Sovereign had only a slight modification in that the toggle

switches no longer had the rubber covers that were on the first generation since they

wore out quickly, and the switches were a little beefier on the second generation

from the first.

The third generation Sovereign, and currently available unit as of the printing of this

book, had a control panel facelift that included the removal of the normal/iron mask

switch and the set/fixed/pin-point switch. The iron mask feature provided better

depth and allowed better detection in close proximity to iron targets and was rarely

turned off by the user. The Set/Fixed/Pinpoint switch was replaced with a single

All-Metal/Pinpoint switch. The Set/Fixed mode was a carry-over from the gold

machine first offered. A volume control was added for the first time and the iron

mask was built-in as the default setting. This was the beginning of the Sovereign XS

for eXtra Sensitivity.

Almost anything mentioned regarding the Sovereign goes for the Excalibur as well.

After all, the Excalibur is basically a submersible Sovereign without notch control.
