I do not own a Safari (I have a Explorer II) But I'm considering one.
My question is the Coin & Coin&Jewerly are both searched with conductive... and Treasure & All Metal use the Ferris type mode... The C and F icon. I'm supposing that's what that means on the Safari. Has anyone ever air tested say... a couple different silver coins in each mode to see if the audio ID is smoother in Ferris? I know on the Explorer II it does... the audio ID is much smoother in Ferris. And the rings too, What few rings I have to test. The Safari looks to me to be... a great machine and the part I love about it... is the notch discriminator it has... (50+notches? compared to the X terra 705's 28?) <---not so sure how many each of those actually have... but Safari has a few more notches then the 705. The 705 too... interest me account it's a single freq. style machine that can be hunted with a faster sweep then the FBS. I just donno if it will hit things as deep as the Safari.
I've seen here in the forum people talk about more hunting with their ears instead of screen watching. Hunting with the explorer II is a lot more pleasant to me in Ferris mode. My Ex II is... I'm estimating 15+ yrs. old now? Reason I'm thinking of a new machine is.. I think maybe the ones today have better components in them today, than were used 15 yrs. ago.
There may be.... no difference with the Safari... when it comes to the sound in Coin mode opposed to All Metal mode.. when hitting a number of different targets. But, that's my question today.
