I’ll never forget the day I used a MINELAB SAFARI for the first time. A mate named Howard loaned it to me while teaching me how to RELIC HUNT. We took a boat out to a beach with Civil War history. My own detector couldn’t handle the salt, but the SAFARI handled it with ease. It felt rugged, well-built and balanced, and instantly made my old detector feel like a toy. With Howard’s guidance, I found Union army musket balls, a navy button, and cannon shell fragments. That day changed everything. I went home, sold my camera gear, and bought an EQUINOX 800. MINELAB got me back into exploring and has brought me nothing but positivity ever since. The finds are just a bonus.
