Detect Modes
Coin Mode
This Mode has a Discrimination Pattern that
is best for ignoring a variety of junk targets,
while still being able to detect most coins.
One of the features of Safari is its ability to
vary the tone on the target signal. In Coin
Mode the Audio tone will vary according
to the level of conductivity of the detected
metal. For example, highly conductive metals
like silver, gold and brass will produce a high
pitch tone. Lower conductive items like foil,
nickel, and low carat jewellery will produce a
lower pitched tone.
The preset Discrimination reject settings for
this Mode are –10 to +2 and +6 to +8.
Use: This mode is best used in high trash
areas such as modern parks, sporting
grounds, playgrounds and busy beaches.
It will ignore a large percentage of foil and
ferrous trash.
Note: Some modern coins are produced with
nickel or steel cores and should be considered in
certain regional applications. These coins may
not be detected in Coin Mode.
Coin & Jewellery Mode
This mode has a slightly reduced level of
rejection in its Discrimination Pattern to
enable you to locate coins, as well as gold
jewellery. It allows some coins with a high
ferrous content or low carat jewellery that
may have been discriminated in Coin Mode
to be detected, however, aluminium foil will
also be detected. The Audio tone will vary
depending on the conductivity of the target
in the same fashion as Coin Mode.
The preset Discrimination reject settings for
this mode are –10 to –1.
Tip: Low tone = Low Conductivity content.
High tone = High Conductivity content.
Use: The most common use for this Mode is
for those who are prepared to dig some foil
and pull tabs to nd all gold jewellery; ideal
for beaches, old parks, abandoned house
sites, camps, etc.
