Sovereign Elite dispaly unit question...

[dualshowman007]

Howdy all, new to the group and thought I'd post a question, hope its in the right place.

My Sov Elite came with the minelab meter mounted to it. It used to function fine(I think- I never used to look at it in the beginning) but now after a moment or so, the numbers stop bouncing and it reads -1439, or some number similar to that with a minus next to it. The machine still works fine, just not the meter. I hooked my friends meter up to it and it did the same thing. Is this something anyone else knows about, or is it time for a service call into Minelab?
Thanks for any advice, JHW

When you get that number usually your over an iron/steel object or something very deep, the meter will do this if you try to use it in All metal, its only for disc mode

Yes, sounds like an all metal issue to me also. Check it in disc. Also calibrate the meter with a coin <I prefer a quarter tuned to 180>. Is your meter a 180 or a 550?
