Best settings for depth

[CHRIS OC]

In everyone's opinion what are the best settings on the safari to get maximum depth????

I use my Quattro in manual sensitivity and set it as high it can go without it falsing, this will very from site to site. I also noise cancel often, I will noise cancel after I change the sensitivity, when I move to another location of a site I am hunting, or every so often when I am hunting at one place. I always noise cancel with the coil on the ground. If you don't have Andy's Quattro/Safari book I would get one, it has a lot of good info in it. I have pulled out coins from 9 inches down with my Quattro, but that will very from site to site.

I agree with John, and use low density as opposed to high density on my Safari

I use high trash most of time,but in clean ground I will go to low the tone seems to hit harder.I may gain about one inch.Nice post, but I really do not believe it matters on FBS detectors seem to have a plateau of about 11 inches no matter where you set your settings or disc. and that seems to be it.It seems the best way to gain a little is use of different coils and ride Manuel sensitivity higher..Now if you were to ask how to get the most coins out an area I would go to pre set jewelery and dig all repeatable signals it will be a lot of work but you will leave very little for CTX3030 users or anyone else for that matter.The main thing is to manage the null on FBS detectors.

I am most always running sensitivity at 18 on the safari. This seems to work for me well hunting civil war relics in wooded areas. With this setting where it is kinda brushy you dont have to have the coil directly over the targets to get a little bit of signal from the side of the targets. Once I get that bleep I slow down move or remove vegetation to get directly over the target. One thing I have tried tho is once I have located that bullet signal if you turn sensitivity down to say 13 or 14 you can pinpoint a little tighter. I have dug bullets at 9 or 10 inches doing this. Check out our videos on youtube diggin civil war relics. Channel is DEER123ABLE

I have dug the brass end of old paper shotgun shells as deep as 11 inches. I run in all metal cancelling only -9 thru -1 and 40. With the volume at a bearable level I keep adjusting for changing conditions by increasing the sens for a tolerable amount of iron noise that is greatly reduced by only allowing -10. The repeatable high signals are dug. I use high trash exclusively and dig it all. As the trash is removed I repeatedly rework areas with larger coils and differing search patterns. It takes some getting used to, but the more I use this setup the better I like it. Yesterday I worked an area of an old house that has given me fits with nails 6 inches down, while I only recovered clad, I dug no nails and only dug pull tabs, deep zinc jar lids, copper and brass junk.

You should keep 40 I have found silver at 40.

Sure! I should know when it is iron anyway, given the low sound.
