    Substitute digger?

    I have had a string of bad luck with my health this past year and have not been able to treasure hunt at all. I have had to have my hips replaced with artificial sockets and I have an old nagging back injury that makes it almost impossible to get up once I get down on my knees to dig. So, I...

    I just read a" Why don't Garrett offer"post and......

    Why don't Garrett offer a backlight for the face on the new models coming out? I have heard several people remark they wish they could read the data better in strong sunlight and after dusk as well. That goes for me too! It sure wouldn't add much to the cost nor add much extra weight. So...

    Where have I been for the last year?

    Some of you are probably wondering why I suddenly stopped posting last year and disappeared? NO?, Well I will tell you anyway! I woke up one morning and couldn't walk! I had extreme pain in my thighs and knees so my wife ran me over to the hospital ER where they said it was sciatica nerve...

    New ATPro

    I have been closely monitoring all the pros and cons of the new ATPro. I bought mine about 3 months ago but have not been able to take it hunting due to having to have a hip replacement. I am kinda worried because I planned on doing some freshwater beach hunting but I have read several posts...

    New ATPro and haven't had a chance to use it!

    I bought an ATPro when they first came out and haven't had the opportunity to use it yet! I got down in my back and can't walk without crutches and the docs so far can't find what is causing my problems. I have been out in the yard a few times on my better days and played with it on various...

    Just Remember

    Just remember that many of us are not real treasure hunters rather we metal detect for the sheer pleasure of getting out and enjoyng the fun involved. And for goodness sakes remember we don't dig junk and crap. We are more high class than that. We dig junque and crappe'! :super: Everything I...

    Just got my AtPro and................

    I put it together, took it out into the yard, ground balanced at 75, set the iron disc. at 25 and tried it on various objects from a silver dollar to can slaw just to see what the readings were. Too long to list all, but encountered two problems that I would like to mention. First was the...

    Sold my Safari

    Well, I finally gave up on my Safari. I had it for over a year and it never would talk to me in a language I could understand. I dug so many dry holes it drove me nuts and I never did have a decent find. Others have sworn by it and seem to love theirs, but it just doesn't suit me I guess...

    Like new Minelab Safari for sale

    Bought a Safari last spring and have never been able to use it much due to an injury. I have always been a Garrett fan and just can't seem to conquer this beast! It has an extended warranty for two additional years and comes with a small coil as well as the stock one. Still have the box it...

    Battery Controversy?

    I have been following a battery controversy regarding the Safari on another forum. I haven't seen much here. I have had a lot of problems adapting to my Minelab Safari since I got it about 6 months ago and have posted about it here on this forum as well. But not much has improved and I got...

    When will Garrett wise up?

    Don't get me wrong, I love my ACE 250 but I didn't much care for my GTI 2500 as it was outmoded. The ACE is perfect for a run throught the local kiddie park or for simple coin shooting but I had a GTI 2500 for serious work. What I discovered was I could do almost as well with my ACE in most...

    Tell Me it Ain't True!

    Someone told me that the GTI 2500 no longer has Treasure Talk! I sold my old 2500 and was thinking about getting a new one just to talk to that nice lady! Onus

    Lost half dollar

    I decided to dig up and replant my coin garden in a better spot. I found all the coins except a Kennedy half dollar I planted at about 4" a little over a year ago. For the life of me I can't find it! I had a camping trailer parked over the coin garden for about six months and my little flags...

    Appology

    I guess I need to appologize since I haven't been checking my messages and I had a bunch of old ones. I have done a lot of griping and complaining about my Safari and I'm sure some of the messages was advice. So I am sorry guys. OH, and gals too! I will be more diligent in the future. Onus

    Conductive Mode vs Ferrous Mode?

    As posted earlier I sent my Safari in to the Minelab Service Dept. because I didn't think it was operating correctly. They phoned yesterday and said it would be the last week of the month before it came back. In the meantime I have been rereading the Owner's Manual and Andy Sabisch's book...

    Funny sight on a post.

    I was reading a post on another forum this morning and noticed the guy was digging huge plugs. After he got a good signal he had trouble locating the coins in the dirt he had dug out. I was trying to think of what to tell him to help and then I noticed he had a huge silver ring on. I put in 4...

    The Lights are on but there's no one at home!

    Have been trying to contact Minelab USA this morning to see if they had received my Safari. I keep getting a "Not Connected" page. Guess they know detectors but can't figure out how to turn their computers on! :confused: Anyone else tried to get them on line? Onus

    Garrett needs to upgrade!

    I started in the detecting hobby with a Bounty Hunter until I met a fellow with a GTI 2500. It looked like the ultimate machine to me and I got one. That was 4 years ago. Since then I have had the chance to see and handle many other brands of detectors that I didn't even know existed as a...

    Safari going back to the shop tomorrow!

    As most of you know I have really been struggling with my new Safari going on about 5 months. My six year old granddaughter could have learned to operate it by now but I haven't. I have read the manual and Andy's book several times and it still doesn't perform like it is supposed to. It is so...

    Been down a bit but back now

    I've been under the weather a bit for the last month or so and haven't been online much. I am doing better now and want to get back to digging untold trasures! I have had my Safari several months now and really had trouble learning how to interpret the sounds I was hearing. But I finally...
