I used it on a good Roman site, removing all discrimination from the 'Coin & Jewellery' mode (making it an 'All Metal' with conduct sounds), and found coin after coin that a friend's Explorer II couldn't hear. GH - UK
From the outset I liked the look of this latest model. It was tested on a wide variety of soils and conditions and produced superb results on a quantity of non-ferrous objects. Quality was here too, in the form of the ancient Celtic coin being found. With its easy to use control panel format, this is definitely the latest Minelab detector to appeal to both new-starters and old hands alike. It is vital for a detectorist to have confidence in his or her machine...in using the Safari such a confidence is quickly established and with continual use will be firmly built-on to achieve desired results. But don't take my word for it that this is indeed a superb detector...try one for yourself! Whilst Field Testing the new Minelab "Safari" (which means travel) with a colleague, he found an ancient Celtic coin that had been transported to Britain from France and I located a button from the Great Eastern railway, rather ironic finds, from what proved to be a fantastic detector.
