I realise that the Minelab Safari is a new machine but i`d like to get owners HONEST opinions as to whether it`s all Minelab say it is or would i be better to save a couple of hundred pounds on a Sovereign GT or spend more on the Explorer or an E-trac, i use a Garrett 250 at the moment and have just added a Detech 15x12 SEF coil so when i move up machine wise it will have to be to one of the afore mentioned Minelab detectors or an XP GoldMaxx Power/Nexus as the 250 with the Detech coil will keep up with and in some cases i suspect better alot of the mid range machines, i just received a nice glossy brochure on the Safari and it seems to tick all the right boxes and looks fantastic but i`d like to hear appraisals from owners and not rely on biased reviews in various magazines who can`t afford to upset Minelab due to loosing advertising revenue (when`s the last time you read in a mag a bad review-it just don`t happen, if it`s a lemon then i want someone to say so) also in the same vein how do owners find FBS technology ? it looks good on paper but do you loose any discrimination ?
