A forum dedicated to users who have purchased or plan to purchase the new Minelab Safari or are owners of the Quattro metal detector from Minelab.http://www.findmall.com/list.php?3Fri, 20 Nov 2009 16:07:55 -0600 Phorum 5.2-dev http://www.findmall.com/read.php?3,1092896,1092896#msg-1092896 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?3,1092896,1092896#msg-1092896would be a processing fee which is 15.00.Then I told her that I would like to speak with one of there techs.and she told me we can not let you speak to one that they are to busy.But I had explained to her it woudl only take
5 mins.she told megood bye and hung up on me.You know that is not a very good way to run a bussines especially when we as people that buy there detectors and acces..I just thought that was very unproffessional the
way they treated me.If that is the way minelab is going to treat us the public and or customer then why should we take care of them.It's pretty sad that when you call a company and need some help with a problem and
can't get any help why buy ther products.What we shoul do is boycott them,it's not like we need them,they need us.I don,t know about the rest of you people out there if you have had any problems with minelab doing you
like this but we have got to stick together.These detector company's stick together.And the money they charge for these detector's is rediculous,you are always hearing about how detector,s are breaking and falling
apart and chageing big prices for them.Then when you need help from them you can,t get any.Look at Fisher Detector's they use to be made good and when you called in to ask them a question someone would help you
now look at what kind of detector's there making.They are cheap and when you get them there falling apart or not working,then your windding up sending them in to be fixed,they need to take there time and make sure
they work right before they pack them up.Minelab is doing the same thing ther all making junk and they dont care any about us.Some day we won't have to worry about where we are going to detect the detector company's
are going to take care of that for us with the junk there making for us.All i'm asking money is hard to make now a days dont you feel that if we are going to have a hobby that the company's putting out these detecror's
could do a little better on there end of the deal....P.S I just wanted you to know what happen to me lets stick together and demand a better product from these company's and make it hurt in there pocket.]]> moose57 Minelab Safari/Quattro ForumWed, 18 Nov 2009 18:40:44 -0600 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?3,1092460,1092460#msg-1092460 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?3,1092460,1092460#msg-1092460 bigolhorns Minelab Safari/Quattro ForumTue, 17 Nov 2009 18:22:22 -0600 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?3,1091179,1091179#msg-1091179 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?3,1091179,1091179#msg-1091179 comcat Minelab Safari/Quattro ForumSun, 15 Nov 2009 12:51:41 -0600 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?3,1090160,1090160#msg-1090160 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?3,1090160,1090160#msg-1090160 Black Davy Minelab Safari/Quattro ForumFri, 13 Nov 2009 14:56:25 -0600 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?3,1089901,1089901#msg-1089901 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?3,1089901,1089901#msg-1089901 Elvis Minelab Safari/Quattro ForumFri, 13 Nov 2009 05:29:49 -0600 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?3,1088021,1088021#msg-1088021 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?3,1088021,1088021#msg-1088021(This message does not contain any text.)

BTW, I will be moving back to California end of November!! We'll be living in Redding, in northern Cali.

Almost forgot, the ring is 1mm thick and came in at +36. I almost told myself forget it, it's another penny. But I have found that this value has given up some interesting items apart from pennies.

My Safari will get another chance at the red-orange Culpeper soil starting Friday. We leave tomorrow, will be at the hunt meeting tomorrow night. then Friday through Sunday in the field. WooHoo!!!! We still don't know exactly where we will be digging, that info is released at the meeting. More than 450 diggers this time and just about every machine known to man.

Any other forum members attending?

It was this setting I found the items. I then went with the preset coin mode and found nothing more worth mentioning. I then spent a little time with coin and jewelery mode and found the watch. It would be great if any of you have more ideas for searching and coils to use.

There is a LC 1839, 183? and 1817, 1894 Barber Q and a Province of Nova Scotia Token. There were 2 late 1800s IH and two 40s Mercs but they are mixed in with more photos to come. The button as seen has an eagle holding maybe an anchor. Last but not least is the watch. I am almost certain the center is gold the disc below is silver. Let me know what you guys think.
I have many more posts coming, as all you know I can't load a large amount of photos. Any questions?, please ask me.

PS my next post will have the remaining photos from this post]]> jspeedy Minelab Safari/Quattro ForumTue, 13 Oct 2009 15:39:23 -0500 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?3,1068800,1068800#msg-1068800 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?3,1068800,1068800#msg-1068800(This message does not contain any text.)

Purchased new from Kellyco to use with my Quattro but it should work with other Minelab detectors that have the Quattro shaft design. The additional weight over a number of hours in the field aggravated an existing physical health issue and subsequently the coil has been in storage for a couple of years. Before using it in the field I air tested it compared to the standard Quattro coil with various coin denominations and the EXcelerator Il averaged +/- 1-2 inches overall additional depth detection under ideal conditions. Price FIRM: $125.00 cash or USPS money order only. No Paypal. I prefer a local area purchase pickup but it can be shipped via UPS to a US address only. Buyer pays all shipping and insurance costs. No refunds or returns. Item sold in "as is" condition.

I live approximately 30 miles south of Richmond, Virginia, in Prince George County near Fort Lee where I95 and I295 intersect south of Petersburg, Virginia. I cannot "hold" the coil for anyone.

Sunday we went to another cellar in the same set of woods where my buddy pulled dozens of buttons, draped bust cents, war of 1812 military button, etc. But this was a cellar hole we had never been to and within an hour I had my first coin. It rang at 38 steady and i knew it was a large cent. It was a 1738 Woods Hibernia, my buddy found the identical coin 12 feet away, then a breach buckle in incredible shape and I found a nice frock button but unfortunately it was hit by farm equipt. We knew we wouldn't be finding any US coins at this site since it was clearly a mid 1700's site. So it was nice to get an old copper at an old site. Don't get me wrong I'll take mercs all day long, but when you drive long distances and hike through the woods and swing colonial homesites the last thing on your mind when your staring down the hole at a silver coin is a merc!

Got this off the internet which gives a bit of history of the company:

MENDOTA, a town in the northwestern part of Lewis County [Washington state], named in 1908 by the Mendota Coal and Coke Company, who had a mining company in Missouri with the same name. (P. L. Hansen, in "Names MSS.," Letter 74.)
