MY MINELAB SAFARI AND ITS BEST DEPTH SETTINGS Six months have passed since the purchase of a new metal detector Minelab Safari, and I must say, it was an amazing six months! When I changed the device, using old places I had visited many times, I began to make quite interesting finds - silver coins, gold rings, chains and various other objects. To say that I am impressed with Safari's work is an understatement!
My Minelab Safari is ready to start searching. I have always said and believe that it is very important to know your metal detector thoroughly, to know all its signals that notify you of various targets. And that it’s not the detector that’s important, but skillful hands and experience. But with Safari it was as if I had ascended to a new stage of evolution. Or even two. When I was first planning to purchase the Minelab Safari, I read a lot of reviews about the slow recovery speed and the great difficulty of using this metal detector in iron-contaminated areas. But after conducting tests with my own hands, I discovered that Safari shows excellent results on soil literally filled with iron trash. The most littered area I checked was the beach on the banks of a local river. There is so much to see here - nuts, bolts, nails, and fittings - greetings from the bridge builders. The soil there is pebbly, rocky, and there is dirt everywhere. I took a metal detector there and discovered that if you move the coil slowly and don’t wave it from side to side like a catechumen, there are no problems with the recovery speed. All the colored targets next to the iron ones were heard - very clearly and clearly. I even managed to dig up a very beautiful silver ring on this shore.
I also realized that Safari was simply magnificent when I walked out into the meadow, which simply revealed to me the secrets of the Middle Ages! I walked through this meadow for three years or so (the meadow is close to the house) and the finds were only 18th century, but not older. Within the first four months of purchasing the Safari I found a medieval heraldic pendant, two amazing early medieval buckles, also my first 12th century silver coin! Previously, my metal detectors simply could not see to such a depth.
Here is a photo of the booty from one of the trips. A small treasure from the time of George III. I did not find any disadvantages in the metal detector at all, and realized that Safari is good on any soil, in any environment. Particularly good on beaches, unplowed meadows, and in the foothills. I had a little difficulty searching in one of the plowed fields, but maybe because I have not yet fully mastered the settings - it’s hard to say. I still made a lot of finds, at least that day. Minelab Safari on wet sand One of the reasons why I bought this particular metal detector is that I was terribly tired of looking at reviews of metal detectors that work in conditions of highly mineralized soil - on sea beaches, and give a greater detection depth at the same time. Until the end of the year I could not get to the sea coast to check out the Safari there. Exclusively because I was delighted with how it works in other places. But the season of winter storms arrived, and on December 25 I went ashore. Minelab Safari once again left me in awe. Excellent work, without interference, stable, on wet sand, and even super finds - several heavy antique silver coins! I will also share my depth settings for Safari. I use them almost everywhere. sensitivity - auto mode “All metals” notch from - 10 to +40 threshold - 11 instead of noise reduction, I check the place several times, bringing the coil closer to the ground. I hope you find these settings useful too! Andy Baines
This is a new model of metal detectors from the Australian manufacturer Minelab. If you are not yet familiar with this metal detector configuration, we suggest you familiarize yourself with the main points in working with it on the website
lopata.com.ua
The main distinguishing feature of this model is the new software, which allows you to process information much faster and study the search area with a 28-frequency signal, which increases the clarity of the received data on the location and quality of the underlying metal by an order of magnitude. Thus, a frequency range from 1.5 to 100 kHz is simultaneously used for data processing.
Despite the new model, the metal detector interface remains the same, so for those who have already worked with Minilab metal detectors, it will not be difficult to master the new parameters.
So, among the search modes there are still 4 masks - Coins, Relics, Jewelry and All Metals. Each mask is indicated by a separate button on working panel Minelab Safari. As soon as you turn it on, Safari is ready to go.
It should be noted that Safari does not have a manual primer setting; this is worth paying attention to when starting to work with it. All other settings can be adjusted manually, individually. For example, you can set your own search masks by saving them in the device memory using the "accept/reject" button.
In the same way, you can cut off metal debris by simply entering it into the device’s memory as ignored. If you find any object that is not the purpose of your search, but is often found in the search area, you can add it to the ignored ones using the same “accept / reject” button.
Despite the high search accuracy, thanks to 28 frequency processing, Minelab Safari, like most metal detectors, has a pinpointer function that can be used to detect a more precise location of an object.
In addition, Minelab Safari is equipped with:
Noise canceling button
Sound designation of the target (3 tones)
Volume control
Headphone jack
11 inch reel
The Minelab Safari power supply consists of 8 AA batteries. Also, the improved package may include a SlimPack battery and a charger for it, which allows you to charge from a regular 220V outlet. The kit may also include RPG headphones.
The Minilab Safari model is ideal for working with soils with a high content of iron debris, it is easy to handle, and a wide range of customizable functions will help you detect the desired object with greater accuracy and weed out side objects, thanks to the functions of ignoring and customizable search masks.
Metal detector Minelab Safari is an inexpensive detector in the class of professional metal detectors. Advantages of Minelab Safari, Minelab FBS multi-frequency technology, which allows you to search simultaneously on several frequencies. High accuracy in littered areas. Large search coil with increased depth and good sensitivity for coins, jewelry, and native gold. Simple enough for a professional metal detector, control and search with the detector as a whole.
Metal detector, ground metal detector with an S-shaped three-part rod. The metal detector unit is located on top. The power supply is placed in a separate section at the end of the upper rod and works as a “counterweight”, creating a good balance for the entire metal detector design.
Minelab Safari can be powered by 8 pieces of AA batteries (regular AA batteries). Removable battery cassette. You can also insert batteries into this cassette (similar to AA batteries). In the Klader store, the Minelab Safari metal detector can also be purchased with a branded Explorer series battery, which immediately has a charging socket ( charging in progress complete with batteries).
The usual search time with a Minelab Safari metal detector on one charge is 14-15 hours (continuous operating time).
Minelab Safari Control
The Minelab Safari control consists of 11 buttons. Film panel with high protection against dust and dirt. Quick access to functions: metal detector sensitivity, threshold signal, noise rejection (channels), response volume adjustment, variable display contrast and response speed adjustment for heavily littered search areas.
Minelab Safari screen
In automatic mode, the Minelab Safari metal detector will select the most suitable settings for the current search. Frequency group, channel with the least interference, ground tuning. The user selects a search program with a metal detector.
In practice, searching with Minelab Safari, you can expect to go a little deeper than most other detectors. Large coin in the ground up to 35 centimeters. If the find is the size of a helmet and the bayonet of a knife, the depth of Minelab Safari will be up to 60-70 centimeters. The maximum depth of Minelab Safari for very large objects (for example, a tank turret) is slightly more than 1 meter.

This metal detector is essentially unique. Let's briefly describe its basic settings and a few tricks for setting parameters. The installation proceeds sequentially in 6 stages.
Sensitivity
Simply put, the higher its value, the greater the coverage. The Safari metal detector has an automatic sensitivity setting mode, which I can recommend for the first hour of searching, and a manual mode - this is for further time. Safari's factory settings have an unreasonably low level of sensitivity. So set the maximum level to 20 and walk a few meters across the field. If noise appears, then reduce the sensitivity by one value and walk again. As a rule, it is convenient to walk with a setting of 15 - the detector does not lose depth.
Threshold tone
The second point is to optimize the threshold tone, or background hum. Optimal setting when the hum is at the limit of audibility. If you set the level to 9-11, then you will hear pauses in this background hum even from the smallest objects “cut off” by the discrimination settings (mainly from hardware).
Noise Cancel
Raise the metal detector 30 cm above the ground and start this function. After 20 seconds, the metal detector will complete setup. This function is very useful, since with its inclusion the metal detector works very stably. Most interference will be eliminated. However, if you decide to look for coins or relics near high-voltage lines, then noise reduction will not help you.
Volume
Just set the volume value as you need.
Contrast
Minelab Safari setting responsible for display contrast. Factory setting Here it’s normal, you don’t have to change it.
Trash Density
If the field is clean, set it to minimum; if it is dirty, and the speaker “sings with all voices,” then set it to maximum. Don't forget to remove the setting when you change your location.
Safari search programs
The metal detector has 4 preset programs - Coins, Coins and Jewelry, Relics, All Metals. Their choice affects the overall calibration of the detector. If you select Coins and Jewelry, the higher the conductivity of the metal, the higher the audio response will be. The operating principle is conductive. That is, for iron - a low tone, for most non-ferrous metals - a high tone.
The Relic and All Metal modes work on a different principle. The audio response depends on the iron content of the object under the coil. The more iron, the louder the detector will “growl”; the less, the louder the detector will “squeak”.
You can beautifully customize your metal detector signals using the Shuffle setting.
Each program has two options when you press its button twice. If you select Coins and Jewelry mode and then hold Relics, and voila - you have a conductive method of identifying metal objects. Very useful when there are a lot of small metal targets in the search area. Keep the threshold on the edge of audibility - so that you can hear dips in it.
