Been in a bit of a rut re finds this summer, so after our latest (2") rain, I decided to open the Safari up and hunt pure relic mode on some public parklands. I was rewarded with some easy digging, a bunch of pennies (in addition to the normal clad), and a lot of oddball stuff: keys, medallions, tokens, and an army man toy. Nothing to write home about, but I had the best time I've had all summer metal detecting. So if youre in a rut or getting bored, change up your settings or hunting style for some variety!

(beach trip planned soon, where I hope to REALLY liven up the finds)

I run all metal just about all the time. I have made some great finds running all metal, stuff that is laying close to Iron. Maybe All Metal mode isn't for everyone, but its sure working for me. Another thing that helps is to really slow down & work an area & dig those signals bouncing from low to high ID's, a lot of them maybe iron nails & bolts but I found that real sweet SLQ the other night digging those signals. Also dig those ones reading -10 but don't sound like iron. I think everyone needs to use whatever works for them, all metal works for me. Just my opinion.

Yepper, relic mode/low density is my go to setting and all metal for plowed fields with little trash.
