First time on the wet sand with the Minelab Safari.

[bainsey]

So today i packed the Mrs off to the boxing day sales whilst i packed the car with my beach detecting gear and the Safari.This was to be the first time i have used it on the beach even though the reason i bought it was because i wanted to be able to the wet sand and land!
The weather had taken a turn to the chilly side overnight and a brisk wind straight off the sea made sure my hands were frozen stiff in no time. Unfortunately the beach was just as sanded in as it was last time i was there literally around a year ago so i didn't have high hopes for the finds.
I found the Safari handled the wet stuff impeccably as long as the sensitivity wasn't boosted right to the top. the settings i used were: All metal mode with -0 and +40 notched, threshold 11, and sensitivity at 16 any more than this caused a little bit of falsing. For me today was just a bit of a test and one that i have been meaning to do for a while, the coins that came with it were a bonus

here is the video of it on the wet stuff

Nice vid. If I may make one suggestion? If you take a small bit of a sponge and glue it over your microphone port, you'll cut down on the wind noise. Try it, you'll see what I mean.

Other than that, very interesting, educational, vid.

Thanks for the information on the Safari settings.
Can I suggest something that you might consider in future posts. Add a few pictures that everyone can view. Downloading or viewing videos eats up everyone's data caps.
Thanks for the post

Nice video, thanks for sharing.

All of the Minelab FBS metal detectors tend to do very well in the wet and dry sand, just need to know how to set them up!
