Little hunting with the safari

[woodbutcher]

Hey guys, somone needs to breathe a little life into this Safari section. Took the Safari out to a local ballfield,nothing great but it really cleaned up on what was left. Best find was some green wheats,change and a chunky cheese token..But the Safari is such a great machine,I’ve had Etracs,explorers etc,,and the Safari is just an animal in its own right.
I’m not a creeper,I swing the coil about 3 seconds from side to side,and to me I hit just as deep and just as much as creeping. I can’t say enough good about this machine,it just don’t miss a coin.

Great hunt and Saves Woodbutcher. I really like my Safari too. I hope to take it out for a spin soon. Georgia is beginning to finally cool off a little.

Nice hunt Woodbutcher. Maybe go slow and low for those deeper, iffy signals.....Silver should be tid at 39 especially barbers and older. In addition, it's been my experience that these older silver coins will actually line up with the "I" in the word silver on the graph bar too.... Safari is still on deck, as Nox 800 usually leads off due to lighter weight...Weather cooling off here in No Florida too. but I missed the beach after a recent nor'easter

Is anyone here familiar with or have used the Minelab 8' Pro coil for the FBS detectors? I bought a 8' Sunday coil a while back, but I'm not 100% sold on this particular coil. I guess what I'm searching for is if anyone has by chance used these two coils and what your take is regarding these two search coils.

YeRs ago i was on the beach with my Sovereign GT. A guy swinging a Safari came uip to talk. He said you have a good machine. Then he said But the Safiri is the best machine Minelab has ever made.

Later i saw hin swinging a Xcal. The last time i saw him he was swingig a Equimox. He just kept walking when i asked about the best machine Minnelab ever made. Havent seen him in abuit three years.

I have an Etrac and may have an opportunity to get a nice Safari. A buddy says it more like a suped up Xterra (a favorite of mine). For those that have/had both (Etrac Safari) what's your thoughts?? PM me if you want.

I was ready to buy the Safari just when the Equinox was announced, Nice going!

I used to see others also say that Safari was a streamed-down version of the Explorer models, too.

MuddyMo, I have and use the Minelab Safari. Personally, this has been one of my favorite all time detectors. I am more of a Relic Hunter, but my wife and I enjoy searching the beach's when we get a chance. To me there are only a few draw backs to the Safari. 1) would be the weight. The Safari tends to get a little heavy after swinging for hours. I have some shoulder issues, but I took care of this problem by making a makeshift sling using a carabiner and a cotton bungee cord. This works great and takes the weight off of your shoulder while swinging the coil, same as one of the storeboughts, and a whole lot cheaper. and 2) the Safari is not waterproof for using in water, only the coil in the shallows. I hunt mostly on land anyway, so this is not an issue. Best of luck to you in your decision.
