I have done it both ways, no problems.

Although I don't have the Safari, due to the similarity of the Quattro and the Safari, my thought would be to noise cancel with the coil on the ground. In Andy Sabisch's Quattro book he states that the coil should be on the ground and not moved till the noise cancel is complete. I feel the only way to ensure no motion would be to have the coil on the ground.

I purchased a new Safari a few weeks ago and noted in the owners manual it didn't
state whether the coil should be in the air or on the ground when noise canceling it.

So I called Minelab. The tech told me to make sure the coil is on the ground when
canceling. The detector is deciding on which frequencies to use and is optimizing
which frequencies are returning with the least amount of noise.

The other noteworthy thing to remember about these detectors is to get them close
to the ground. Even an inch or two above will loose depth.

I have also noted with this detector, if the ground changes consistency, it is best
to noise cancel the machine again. I believe that advice makes a huge difference.

Andy also states this in his book on the Quattro.
