Are there any members in Canada using the Sov GT?

I've noticed lately that my Sov is NOT fond of Canadian dimes or quarters. They give crazy signals that refuse to settle and sometime even cause the machine to null. I'm guessing it's the composition of the coins. Seems weird though. Just wondering if anyone in Canada uses this machine and if they experience the same thing.
 
I don't use the Sov GT, but here's a link on the composition of those Canadian coins you are having trouble with;

I'm guessing all detectors have trouble finding Canadian clad as they register as junk. Notching is not recommended on my two detectors and am forced to dig everything. May dig more junk but my clad and jewellery count has gone up considerably, as other detectorists pass over them. If tone ID is enabled, I find these coins give a unique musical tone that sometimes helps in identifying them.
