First finds with my safari

[geoff]

Taken a while to learn to search in conduct with no discrim,but it is good on small thin silver!

The little coin is a hammered silver Charles 1 halfpenny from early 1600's, it is 8mm diameter! the other coin is same period sixpence.

This one is a roman silver coin of Hadrian,responsible for building 'Hadrians wall ' Scotland,think he was trying to keep the scots out of roman england!

Great finds !!! Congrats!! How do you like the safari so far? U.K. Roman empire was huge, so was the British empire for that matter.

Hi Ronald 2,
I like the safari a lot ,I find you can wind up the sensitivity on cleanish sites and realy suck up deap signals,or trickle it along on sens 10 in the trash to find small shallow stuff in amongst the iron nails.
Took me a while to quieten it down,Im still learning,but I think it a very efective detector.
I also run a sov GT,& X terra 705, both of which are also very good.

Yea, me too. And where they can actually detect and where the government incourages it. Unlike our own here. Here, they want to keep anything and everything for the "experts". Doesnt matter if anything in the ground would likely stay there until it rotted away before any "experts" would ever show any interest.
At least Britain's government has a common sense attitude towards detecting for treasure.
Lived over there for 6 years when I was a teen. Loved the country and the people. I have dreamed of going back with my detector. Just now ordering a safari, so am a newbie where its concerned, though not a newbie to the hobby.
