That's a shame might go to Blackpool at weekend check that out.

How do you get on with cs4pi? I've just bought one and find its a nightmare to set up do you just use same frequency on all beaches around 3 o clock on right nob or do you burry gold and coins before starting on the beach and set up best frequency that works on your buried targets?

CS4pi is ok but does mean a lot of digging :D
Usually set the sensitivity control (Left on) so as it is just in the green zone.
We then adjust the pulse so as to get a barely audible tone.
Seems to work ok.
They are good machines and tremendous value for money, but you do have to dig.

It's a funny old machine there's no real definitive instructions even manufacturer doesn't know too much about it but I've noticed the right nob frequency is absolutely crucial to your finds cscope tell you to put both nobs in green but from testing found out that's not good enough you miss small golds if right frequency nob isn't in best place for gold and air testing is pointless machine uses the ground so has to be set up with buried targets.

Hi, I was happy with my safari but love the e trac, made myself stick to multi conduct tones and when the good tone comes its easy to pick out. obviously more practice the better but can honestly say the safari is a very good m/c ::g
