Bought a new Safari last week, and took it out for the first time on Superbowl Sunday. You would think that on the Day of the Superbowl in the middle of winter the beach would not be that crowed . Boy was I wrong!(the 80 degree weather had something to do with that)
There had to be at least 15 other detectorist there besides me. The complainant I heard most offend was "not a single target, not even a trash target".
I spent a total of 5-1/2 hours on two different beaches. Not much to show for my time, but a total of 9 coins, three lead sinkers and a zippo lighter (it worked).
As for the Safari I really like it, well balance, a dream on the wet, and dry sand. She handled the black iron sand with no back talk what so ever. She is a keeper.
The tones are are easy to listen to and understand after some practice using known targets. I also practiced pinpointing before going out.
Compared to many others who came back empty handed I felt I did very good after all.
