Quattro first impressions

[Mike in Fla.]

Took my new Quattro out to the beach for the first time, and only hunted the sand, but I was very impressed. I found very small target at a depth of 10 to 12 inch on a regular basis. There were a number of other hunters on this same beach, and I was going behind them finding coins and jewelery where they had just hunted. The only negative comment, is that the unit is a little on the heavy side, but it does seem to be well balanced. I am very happy with this machine. I have an excal that I haven't tried yet, but if it performs like the Quattro, I'll be very pleased.

You have to remember that when you hunt behind someone and start finding stuff it is mainly because they weren't overlapping their sweeps. The field goes down in a cone shape and at the bottom it only covers about 2 inches. So if you aren't overlapping every two inches you aren't detecting well at that deep depth. That being said, I can hardly do it and being since the DD coils cover more area at depth is one reason your finding stuff they missed.

Still there is a lot to be said for using a better detector. Good luck.

Something I have noticed about the minelabs in the three weeks I have had mine is it nulls out over iron or discriminated targets. A lot of people don't like this calling it poor recovery.

IMO what it really does is force you to slow down which equates to much fewer targets being missed as you have found. I kind of wonder what exactly is going on with silent search only machines. They have to have some kind of recovery time and with no threshold to null out and let you know when to slow down the possibility of swing right past good targets has to be increased.

At the beaches I hunt it is pretty easy to spot someone using a minelab. They are moving much slower while the silent search guys are moving a mile a minute. We may be moving slower but there is not much doubt in my mind were finding more. But then again that's just me I could be wrong.
