Does the Safari have an Ironmask setting like an Explorer? If so, that is your discrimination, and the lower you set it, and learn it, the better targets will come through helping you find more. If you drop to low right away it will probably make a lot of extra noise and confuse you. The idea is to let the detector see most of the targets in the ground and let your ears do the sorting of what to dig.
