Yesterdays hunt with Safari:thumbup:

Three hours produced 9 flat buttons and my first silver coin. 1899 Barber dime. This is the newest coin found on this site. Hot on buttons. Some were very tiny pewter buttons. My current colonial hunting setup. Coin and jewelry mode, remove -10 to -06, sensitivity 13(site specific). No iron dug. All buttons except for one large brass one produced that sweet low tone. Buttons read in the low positive numbers to the low negative numbers. The tone is the kicker. All negative high tones were iron.

I have been playing with my Safari for the last month now and love the new rig. I thought you might
want to try the Minelab cross saving feature on your safari and move the good stuff to hi tones. There
is a definite benefit to doing this.

Just press the all metal mode button and then hold the coin and jewelry button until the screen says
saved. You will note the change in the symbol next to coin and jewelry now. What your doing
is taking conductive audio and setting the discrimination to coin and jewelry. Now when you
hear anything conductive, the tone with be high, not low. You can still change your discrimination settings
in your saved mode, just remember to re-save the settings by holding the coin / jewelry button down
again until the screen says saved.

It doesn't matter which way you do it, except if you read Andy's Quattro book, there are
a few items which don't get enough tone difference when your using ferrous audio. It's a
good book to read. The Safari is a Quattro with a faster processor and some slight software
changes. It's a definite winner of a metal detector. I have found buttons at 10+ inches.

Hope that helps.

Mine is setup for a specific site. I added six more buttons today using the 6"EQ2 Pro coil. I will give it a try.

Great!!!!!!! I'm glad to hear they still have that wonderful cross-saving feature on the Safari also. I know we have it on the Qutro, and I'm still ticked off at Minelab for not including that in the original owners manual, but Andy Sabisch has it featured in the "infamous" Mastering the Quatro book by him. Thanks Andy, for including that "valuable", information in your book. Marc.
