Yesterday at my wife's old school, due to not having small coil for CTX yet, I took the Safari
and the Nel Sharpshooter coil. Not shown was also found 2 clad dimes, a wheat cent, and a zincoln.

The above is a dime size sterling silver necklace pendant.

The above is a gold plated eagle pendant that also is about the size of a dime.

The above is what remains of a very old University of South Carolina Gamecock ring.
This is not a graduate type ring made of heavy gold but more of a ring you could buy
to let others know you were a fan of the Gamecocks. You probably can't tell in the
picture but the stone on top is of a garnet color. The entire bottom half of the ring is
rusted away and the inside is hollow to further prove it is in no way gold etc.
I am using the Safari/Nel combination on a diagonal search from where I have already searched this
front part of the school yard where my wife said most of the juniors and seniors hung out under the trees.
I have covered it well with the Safari, AT Pro, and CTX3030 from one direction. Taking Andy's advice and
changing directions has already yielded many more good finds with the Safari. Again, I say the Safari got
caught up between the Explorer Series and E-Trac and just has not received much publicity/positives
as it's predicessors. As time passes and people go back to their old detectors (even though mine is less than
6 months old) they will find that there are no "hunted out" places. Just places where for good reason, their
machines originally did not pick up some of the relics and coins because of one setting or because of not
doing something different. I wish Minelab had made the Safari with the adjustable sound settings. It would
be a killer.
