    Has anyone replaced the foam grip on their Safari?

    I couldn't help noticing that the rubberized grip on my $15 leaf rake is way better than the deteriorating foam grip on my $1,000 Safari. Was wondering if it would be much of a problem to replace the foam grip on the Safari?

    Nulling:

    I split most of my time metal detecting with two different detectors and with both I use patterns that discriminate out most of the iron. As a result there is a constant nulling going on, usually just a quick blip, blip, blip. Can all that constant nulling be small pieces of iron or is there a...

    What are your nicest finds so far this spring?

    Good finds in my area are extremely hard to come by anymore, but so far this spring have found a very small 1.4 gm. 10 k. gold ring with a tiny diamond, a 11.8 gm. sterling silver ring with a 14 k. gold inlayed cross, a "44" Walking Liberty half and two Franklin halves ( 58 & 63 ). The three...

    Where pennies are ringing in at:

    Yesterday in very moist ground conditions I had pennies ringing in all over the place from as low as nickels to as high as 40. I was digging them because of their sounding like a coin which they were, but was hoping for something a little larger. Have been noise cancelling regularly, so that...

    Comparing entry level detectors to higher end machines:

    Was just wondering how many of you guys with higher-end machines have actually hunted with someone using a modern day entry-level detector and noticed how good they have become anymore? Late last fall I finally hunted with a friend who has such a machine (The White's Coinmaster) and even though...

    What might improve your nickel count:

    This being my 2nd year with the Safari and already I've found one thing that has greatly improved my nickel count over last year's results. By the end of last year only 4.5% of my finds ended up being nickels which I don't have to tell you is not particularly good, especially if your also...

    Just a note to you sluice builders:

    For those of you who want to build your own sluice. One of the best materials I've found for both making Hungarian ripples and for helping hold down any miner's moss, ribbed carpeting or rubber ripples is to use aluminum carpet edging. It comes in various widths and lengths which is called...

    Creating an under-current for your sluice or slick plate:

    Anyone have any ideas on how to best create an under-current on either a home built sluice or slick plate?

    Has anyone used a slick plate on their sluice?

    Am thinking about adding a slick plate to the top end of my sluice to give the flour gold a better chance of settling before it reaches the sluice itself. Has anyone tried one and if so did they feel it improved their results? Thanks in advance...

    Prospecting Mode:

    Does anyone know why the XT-70 (705)'s Prospecting mode seems to hit or will hit on deeper targets than its All-Metal mode will???

    miners moss:

    I have a sluice which came with Nomad (miners moss). Is there anything that will work better than miner's moss or is there a certain type that works better than others? It will be needed strictly for flour gold. Thanks, Mtnmn

    To those who wanted to know how well the XT's HF coils will hit on coins:

    Finally got around to taking the XT-70 out for an afternoon hunt today, while coin shooting with the 6" DD HF coil. To you newbies who were wondering how well Minelab's High Frequency coils will hit on coins, here are today's results: 12 pennies (only dig if reading similar to a dime), 2 of...

    EMI problems:

    Does anyone have any special tricks for getting their Safari/Quattro to handle EMI issues better, other than just noise cancelling more often and cutting back on the sensitivity?

    Wireless headphones:

    I've been thinking about switching over to using wireless headphones on my Safari. Was wondering what brand / model of wireless headphones you have used with your Safari that worked well with it.

    Another eye-opener!

    Went detecting again with my friend who is a world class detectorist. This time we hit the exact same sites as last Friday and amazingly we each beat Friday's totals by about 15% which was kind of surprising given the amount of finds we made on Friday. More surprising was my total value of...
