[QUOTE="Goldpick, post: 363589, member: 1695"] There is not much love as many either opt for the cheaper x-terra 705, or went for the more expensive Etrac and Explorer for the Fe/Co ID numbers. At the time the Safari competed against the now discontinued and feature packed Minelab Explorer SE Pro, which for some time was discounted to a price cheaper than the Safari which didn't help sales (the Safari is loosely based off the Etrac, not the previous Explorer platform). Either way, it is still a good detector to get started on, especially for beach detecting on wet sand. Personally I would do as the other mentioned, and test out various targets to get used to both the tones and ID's, and initially dig all good repeatable targets until you gain some confidence and experience. The beach is a really good place to learn the capabilites of your detector, much less junk to deal with than in park situations, and less initial frustration on being overwhelmed by too many targets.
