spent last weekend at a friends house who is a minelab dealer, and he let me use the minelab safari demo model he had. I used it for a full days hunt and I was IMPRESSED how easy it is to use!
Mike gave me a two minutes lesson and set me loose on a older home across the street from him, within an hour there I had clad, a token and four wheats. The yard was pretty trashy and the safari just picked those coins right out, some areas were so trashy I could not even pinpoint, but I was able to "X" over the coin by listening to the high tone and dig the coin no problem
I think the safari was a well balanced machine, easy to use, has good depth capablities and I would feel good about recommending it to anyone looking for a nice machine. Currently I use the xterra 70 but would not feel bad about upgrading someday
