New Quest Pro

[pescadore]

I received my new redesigned Quest Pro yesterday and I am really liking it. Most of the videos on the Quest Pro are for the old model and not very impressive so I wasn't considering one until I watched some of the 2018 videos and decided to give it a try. I must say that I think I made a great decision for me. I needed a multi frequency machine that was submersible for a little more depth than 10 feet and the QP is to 16 feet. That was a major decision maker for me along with the performance on the newer videos. It also came with 2 coils and wireless headphones !!! I took the machine out yesterday for a little while and was very impressed. I went to a place where I knew that I could pick up some clad and get accustomed to the machine. The QP did not disappoint and I even found a toasted wheat penny and a small silver ring. The machine is way faster than the Whites machines that I have been using and the small coil is surgical. I hope to get a video up on the QP in the next few days.

Unfortunately this machine is too little to late to the party I'm afraid. I was exited when I first saw this machine but lack of solid reviews and timing really hurt them. Looks like the Nox might have borrowed some design elements though!

I look forward to seeing your video. There may still be a market for it if it performs well and is priced right.

Many of us remember when they rolled out their 1st machine, before being sued by Teknetics. The quality just wasn't there, they came to the market too fast. One reviewer I watched trashed the machine on his first hunt like a rock star with a guitar. It was very erratic and he came to find out the coil wires were crimped and shorting from the manufacturer. BigWavedave won one back then and it is just a closet queen.

For the price of the Q20 I think it may be a great starter machine which might earn some manufacturer loyalty and begin to build a successful line of machines at a lower price point.

I have seen those videos too and the 1st machine appeared to be a piece of junk. I can say though after using the Quest Pro for a few outings now that I am very impressed with it. I am getting the waterproof headphones and will be freshwater river detecting soon. I will try to keep folks posted on how it works out.

I look forward to seeing your finds. Will it hit a quarter at 10 inches with a good tone and target ID?

I will have to let you know. I dont have a coin garden but I think it would. Our soil is very rocky so I will have to find a place that I can dig that deep.

Okay, to answer your question about the 10 inch quarter, it will hit a quarter at 10 inches and give a good tone and accurate TID. I also buried a 9 inch dime and it hit the dime but the ID was a few numbers higher than usual and the tone was a scratchy high tone. You could definitely tell the dime was there and got the ID but the tone was not as clear as the quarter. Hope that answers your question.

I also wanted to add that I was using Jewelry mode 20Khz Sensitivity at 80 for the results above because that is the way I hunt. I rechecked the quarter and the dime at max sensitivity and the dime tone was better. The ID was also better but jumped up a couple of numbers when I scanned it. The quarter was rock solid.
