Well, I have a new one on the way. This will be my 3rd try on one. I traded a Etrac for this one!!! I just can't go with all of the different settings of the Safari's big brothers. I've had a Explorer II also at one time and did not like it either. I just came to the fact that I'm more of a tone hunter and not a screen watcher, which the Safari is kinda like a Soverign with a screen anyways. I am a relic hunter and am not concerned really about coins, althou I do run across a few in the field. I have looked at TomH and ngrelics posts on the Safari and I'm looking forward to hunting with it again. I need to get a copy of Andy's book so I can remember how to cross-save again. Got a copy of his Exp & Etrac book I need to get rid of thou. My main machine has been the Xterra 70 for 5 years now and I'm really looking to compair the two...........MO
