On memorial day I went to the beach to give another try to my Safari in the wet sand during a mid low tide,
I discovered that the Safari can find very deep targets as 14 to 17 inches deep when you swing it very slow,
if you get what may sound like a false signal with a solid number
go back and pass the coil a few times at a much lower speed, if you get weak signal again or at least one more time place the coil steady at least 10 inches away from were the target is and press the pinpoint button, and move it to the target to pinpoint the target and get ready to dig dip deep and remove rocks below the sand,
my settings; sensitivity to 20, low iron, at threshold were you can barely hear it.
I had read that the Infinium LS is the deepest machine in the salt water wet sand, but I never diged for anything that deep with my infinium.
at the beginning I was swinging kind of fast and only found the much lighter aluminum junk,
I have seen couple of times a guy with a sovereign GT and WOT coil swinging fast and covering a lot of land,
I can tell he was only catching the shallow targets,
I didn't find any gold but I was happy to find out how deep the safari goes,
let me tell you that you will have to take a big and heavy duty stainless steel sand scoop like mine or a shovel, if the target shows deep like in the picture of the safari display bellow be prepared to dig.
chuckee's golden coin, I had a hard time on this one because so many rocks under the sand I believe it was at abut 16 inches
I found the aluminum junk sallow wile swinging kind of fast and after I slowed then started getting week signal from the coins, keys, and heaver stuff, I didn't cover large area, no gold yet.
a very weak signal and number 40 give me the smaller key in the picture I had to dig about 15 inches in the sand in a bunch pebbles in rocks inches to get it out.
my sand scoop next to a measuring tape in inches.
scoop in were I diging for the smaller key just to give you an idea of the dept,
it was deeper,
