, The weather down here in SE Texas is atrocious. The hottest & driest summer in decades.
My new Safari has been sitting around for over a week, I couldn't stand it anymore, so I decided to try and get out for a couple Hours this morning.
I chose an old school that has produced a few silver coins in the past but has been hammered to death and all the easy targets are gone.
The field is full of pulltabs so I didn't dig anything below the 30's, it's just to hot and the ground is to tough to dig lower conductives..
I had the machine in Coin & Jewlry Mode, with threshold turned down to 9 and had it unexpectily on Low density which I must have changed when I was airtesting it at home. The machine ran as smooth as silk, I didn't mess with the sensitivity at all.
I figured if I was to find any silver it would probally be masked or on edge.
To make a long story short, I got a deep signal where the numbers were bouncing from the low 2 digits to around low 30;s. I was getting just enough high tone to make you want to dig it. The depth was reading 8" . First out of the hole was a small piece of foil then about 8" down I reached on the side of the hole and a silver quarter and a nickle were stuck together.
This proves to me that with the Tones of the Safari that I'm going to be able to root out some silver that other detectors are going to register as trash.
I Think I'm going to like this Beast
You can see on the back of the quarter where the nickle was stuck to it.
