But when in a trashy area I.e. most sites, some times the TID will lock on a number an regardless of what other targets you swing over the number will not change. Sometimes raising the coil and...

    Safari has landed now a few questions

    OK ahead of schedule my Safari has arrived. So of course I had to play. I was going to take out to the real world but alas it was raining so I was restricted to bench testing. First impression is that it air tests way better then my DFX ever thought to (and I had heard that Minelab FBS does not...

    Safari questions ferrous vs conductive sounds and programs

    OK one thing I have been confused about when reading up on my incoming Safari is the two different sounds. The manual says that the coin and coin and jewelry programs use conductive tones and the relic and all metal mode use ferrous tones. Not to sound stupid but what does that really mean and...

    To Headphone or not to Headphone that is the question:detecting:

    Ok have noticed that there are some in this forum that choose not to use headphones. With most other detectors people swear by using headphones. Is there something about the Safari that lends it self to not having to use headphones? Bryanna

    Safari on the way!

    Well I finally stuck a fork in it and purchased a Different Detector. I had my eye on a couple CZ models and the T2 and F75. After doing my taxes my budget got a bit smaller, but not that bad.

    If you switched for a DFX to an Xterra 70 or 705

    Hi Really thinking hard of switching from my DFX to something else. Have been thinking about an Etrac or an Explorer SE but have always had a warm spot in my heart for the Xterra. I was wondering if there are any former DFX or V3 folks that have moved to the Xterra. If so what do you like...

    If you switched for DFX or V3:detecting:

    Ok I have been thinking about changing detectors I have had my DFX for a couple of years and like it but have been looking on YouTube and have been noticing that the FBS Minelab units seem to work a little smoother and seem better at ID at depth. I have always found the DFX very chatty and on...
