I have the same problem.Dave at Dixie Detectors has a different shaft that mounts the meter on the pistolgrip(for lack of a better term).He also has a mount that you can attach to the GT shaft that will change this angle.I'm going to get one or the other this winter.Bill

I had the same problem and mounted a sun ray probe under the meter to solve it but before I did that I bought from Rick ND a extra mount and riveted it to the top of the hand handle which really made it easy to see. Kinda awkward and more apt to mess something up but I COULD SEE IT and that was important to me. Then when I went to the sun ray probe and didnt need the mount on the handle top I found a quater would slide in there and stay so it was handy any time to set the meter 
Good Luck

There was a sound I thought was some type of pull tab but ended up being shallow coins and the meter was 550 which means silver. no jumping around on the meter either. the meter told me to dig so i did. Look at it this way, explorers have target id, to me if you duct tape the target id on the explorer you would have the same detector as the sovereign excepth for adjustabilty on controls. use the meter with the sovereign u are going to pass up on good targets. trust me.
Minelab told me the sovereigns can run anywhere the explorers can whether its silver or gold u are looking for. regardless that the explorer has more frequencies, they say it doen't matter. people don't learn their sovereign and jump to the explorers.
minelab told me the depth is the same between the sovereign and explorer.
So if explorer people use their target ID why should sovereign users not use their meter. its highly accurate.

One individual hearing type of headphone all come into play and I hear tones very well but always nice to have that super accurate meter especially if you do the Sov. wiggle...and again whatever works..On seashores certainly no meter needed but on land certainly a plus as digging is hard work....

Why does Deaf make one Dumb??? You should be less rude on here. You will find at any of these forums there are Lots of guys that can barely hear and they are by no means Dumb. Hearing loss as they say Shit Happens be greatful if you hear well but dont be rude.

This morning I drilled the two pop rivets out of the meter mount on the shaft, I then drilled a 1/8" hole in the joystick (Straight down from the top), I made the hole about 1-1/4' deep, It went thru the strap, I used the front hole in the mount and used a 1" sheetmetal screw and attached the mount on top of the joystick, The meter fits tightly and is very easy to see. hauk

It's simply another tool my friend. for me it's a 2nd opinion at times when the sound is iffy.
I always listen for tones first and use the meter secondary but I would in no way not use the meter. It has helped me sort through signals before that I might have passed over otherwise.
We shouldn't take an attitude that visual against sound when wee should be using them together.
