Just back from 4 days at Merimbula beach detecting with the safari and the TDI OZ Pro.
     Found plenty of long lost coin in the wet sand at the low tide line. All were between 10 and 19 inches deep, plus one sil chain with pearl pendant at approx 6 inches deep. (Safari found that one)
The TDI and the safari are near on equal for depth on coins in the water and wet sand. The safari fired off several false signals with gain at 19 but target detecting was clear and positive. TID was unreliable and it was best to dig all signals.
Running the detector in Auto gave quiet operation but at the loss of significant depth.

The TDI is a piece of cake to use and will find bobby pins at 2 foot. Mad
It has to be run in dual mode if you want to find sil, au and plat and any chains.
   The TDI was more stable than the Safari in the shallow water. I was only able to run the TDI at approx 50% gain due to quite a bit of EMI from the local airfield and aircraft.
You are not going to miss many targets with either of these detectors.

This little fella kept us company in our apartment. We let him stay and I think he had fun watching what we were doing.
Pic is slightly larger than actual size but not by much affraid
