A handy tip for the Sovereign Meters!

[Treasurechic]

I don't know if anyone else has already come up with this idea or not but I'll post it anyway. I made a small arrow and taped it to the back of my meter so that it lined up with the white line on the calibration knob, this way should the knob get off-set I can easily re-align it without having to go through the whole process again, I even taped the knob a bit to keep it from moving, this will work on the 180 or 550.

I wait for the meter/machine to reset (bumping the coil on the ground helps to induce it or running sens high) to where it shows negative numbers and adjust it to -506 to -507 on my DigiSearch meter and that calibrates it to go 180/181 on silver.
