Yeah Mike, in clean ground they are awesome, Iron sites can be a problem, but on clean normal soil they can go very deep indeed, My GT had me digging some monster holes using the standard coil, but in Iron sites no matter what coil I used it was impossible to use it in the Disc mode,

I know the Sovereign GT is useless in Iron filled sites unless you are I all metal and another thing is even if you turn the Iron mask off it still stays on in the back ground, if you sweep over a piece of Iron it can mask targets until the coil is 3 foot past the target.

Well that's got to be a good thing, people have been asking for light machines for a few years now, it's good that they are starting to listen. But it's design has a few problems so it is not very well thought out.
