    Beach Detecting Information and Questions

    Most of my detecting is done on the beach. with my Safari and most of my targets are found up in the shrub. My question is.. I dont think I have ever found anything down by the shore. Do people just tend not to drop stuff there, is it the constant change of the sand by the ocean that pushes...

    Minelab Safari tips, settings, questions

    So just purchased the Minelab Safari as my first Metal Detector.. had my first run in the garden trying to work it out (first time I ever done this so I am a real fresh fish).

    705 or Safari?

    Thank you to Ridge Runner and everyone else here who helped me make my decision to join the "metal detecting community". Today I pulled the trigger on the Minelab Safari and a Minelab Pinpointer. I look forward to educating myself and practicing the art of metal detecting with my 5yo son. No...

    705 or Safari?

    705 or Safari?

    Goldpick, makes sense! Only reason I mentioned the Garrett AT Max was because I was offered a second hand one for $700 (good deal?).

    705 or Safari?

    Thank you John for your reply. What is it that makes the safari better for beaches? Also do you need a permit to go out and hunt? Would it be possible to get another coil for the Safari to make it more suitable for gold or is it more to do with the actual unit? (Sorry not good with the...

    705 or Safari?

    Hi guys, I am new here. Want to get into metal detecting as I think this would be a great activity for me and my son to do together + I have always liked the idea of "hunting for treasures" :) I have kind of narrowed it down to the 705 or the Safari. Looking to hunt coins, relic and jewelry in...
