I have been detecting close to 20 years, and have never been metal detecting in the water. After reading a Sovereign book by James Clynick, I gained the confidence to set up my Sovereign GT for water hunting. I went to a lake that I have fished in before and thought to myself "wow that large overhanging tree must have been a great rope swing back in the day". It was a quick trial and error getting in the water for the first time with the Sovereign GT, and everything went well equipment wise. It was one of those days that you go detecting with not too much optimism and you have to fight off the thoughts of errands, and priorities, that have to be done back home.
