Thanks, already did this indeed...
Any others around here who could help me with my first steps on the wet sand with a Safari?

Pre set 2 or pre set 4 (all metal).
The trash density setting of high is pre set and is the only one that I have changed so far and is down to 'low'.

Do you do any disc? And can you run inpt in max sens?
I change nothing on any of the settings other than moving the pre-set trash to 'low'.
I will be putting up my latest beach finds in a few minutes.
My preference is the 'all metal mode' and listen out for the high tones then check it against the numeric read out, anything above the 7 to 10 on the readout is worth digging but the higher the readout 34 to 36 is even better.

Good luck. I could not stand my Safari. But I love my CTX!
from the many hrs of research I did with this machine for the first 100 hrs r so use the standard programs that's already set up. After 100hrs then start playing with settings. U have a AWESOME machine keep us informed on how it goes please. Btw how much did u pay and where u get it from? I to have been thinking about getting this machine for a while now. thanks.
Do I get a prize r something now....

The safari was one of the first detectors I owned and it was very frustrating for me to learn and use I never had any luck with it but all the time I put into it helped me with the ctx3030 which was a great detector. As I have come to learn most detectors work great once you get some what familiar with it. HH/GL

Yeah I will keep you guys updated on how it goes
Some people indeed tell me to dig up everything above 5-7, but I heard of friends who found gold rings as low as -3...
I will start in all metal wit -10 discriminated, low trash. As high as possible with discrim and Treshold 12.

I will try to keep it posted. You can always contact me with specific questions, i can "test" them for you.
I bought this machine because I know how deep and good it is. I did a test on the beach witch a coin and it can go to about 25-30 inch... (75cm)

Congrats!
After just 6 weeks use, bottom cam-lok friction plate decided to drop out on to the beach.
Without going into the quality of the adhesive that Minelab should use to secure it into the holder I had by return post (24 hours) 2 new ones supplied FOC by the dealer who supplied the machine.
You may need to think of a plan 'B' should you get caught out at the beach like I did. (parcel tape was my plan 'B' for the day.)
