Title: New Safari Post by: smudgecd on June 30, 2014, 12:37:34 AM So i bought a Safari off a guy named Chris from Caerphilly for an absolute bargain price. Needless to say its my first minelab so i wanted to get out there with it as soon as... This afternoon i decided to go down Pembrey beach to give it a whirl with some doubts from what id read about instability and the amount of tones it gives off.
Well needles to say im chuffed with it even though i didnt find a thing. Its the first time i have been able to go on wet sand without a detector spazzing out. I was very impressed that i was able to dig up a piece of buckshot from 9 inches in the sand. Cant wait to get it out next and try the busier end of the beach or a field and see what i pull up.

It is a good machine, especially on beaches. Personally I find beaches very hard work. If you've got a 'messy' beach it calls for a lot of digging because the foil gives such good and different signals. I'm getting a bit long in the tooth for too much hard work so I prefer fields. Although they can be 'messy' it's mostly Iron and you soon learn what that sounds like and can ignore it. Very best of luck. I'm sure you'll soon be finding some goodies. Val |
