    What size coil should I consider for hunting in woods?

    Hi all. I own the Quattro and I have the stock 10.5 inch coil and an 8 inch coil for it. I was going up to my uncle's farm this weekend to get some detecting in. He has an old homestead site on his land just below a small valley. I was down by it last year during the summer time and it was all...

    Just a thought here for a possible quattro addition

    Hi all. I just had an idea for the quattro (and all minelabs for that matter). My dealer was showing me the new T-2 model a couple days ago. He showed me how the T-2 has a mineralization reading for the ground your working in at the time, and whether it's low or high mineralization. I think the...

    Should I keep my quattro?

    Hi All. I had a question about the Teknetics machine and the Minelab quattro. I've had the quattro now for about 7 months. I'm still getting used to all the sounds and tones it makes. I recently met with my detector dealer in my area and he had the new Teknetics 2 machine. He demonstrated it for...

    quattro sweep speed

    Hi All. I was wondering how slow I can go with the quattro and still have it perform properly? I was told by my dealer here that you can go as slow as you'd like with "any" of the Minelabs. But I just wanted to ask others about how they felt about sweep speeds. I know the quattro has a slower...

    Winter hunting question

    Hi All. I have a question on winter hunting and the Quattro. I live in Illinois and I mainly hunt up in Wisconsin on my uncle's farm. There are a couple old home sites on his land and one is near some woods. I have always heard that it is possible to hunt in the Winter time, as long as you can...

    Are 2500 mAh double A rechargeable batteries safe to use with the Quattro?

    Hi All. My mom purchased a pack of double A rechargeable 2500 mAh batteries with a charger for my quattro. I don't have the rechargeable battery pack so I know I'll have to open up the battery pack and take them out to charge them, but my biggest concern was if their safe to use in the Quattro...

    Use of discrimination and nulling of targets

    Hi All. I'm writing to find out how I could make sure that I'm not passing up good targets when the quattro nulls out when it passes over anything that you have discriminated out? I know the obvious answer would be to just use the all-metal mode. But if I use all-metal mode, and say I get a...

    metal detecting and rainy weather question

    Hi All. I just had a quick question about metal detecting during or after rainy weather. I've heard from some people that it's o.k. to hunt during a light shower and so forth, and I've also heard from people that you should wait a day or two after it rains to start hunting again. I was just...

    I'd also like to know how others feel about how the quattro is on land hunting?

    Hi all. As Harry mentioned in his post, I would also like to know what others have experienced with the Quattro on land? I know it's awesome on the beaches from what I've read, but would like to know more about land hunting. I hunt with it in the southwestern part of Wisconsin and I've gotten...

    Threshold question

    Hi All. I was just on another minelab forum called minelabowners.com. I was reading something about how this guy felt he was getting ghost signals from his detector. A few of the suggestions someone offered him was that his sensitivity could be too high (that he may have to take it off auto. and...

    I'm thinking about buying a WOT coil for my quattro and need some advice on the subject

    Hi All. I would like to experiment with a larger coil, and have heard that the WOT coil will give about 2-3 extra inches in depth than the stock quattro coil. I was wondering what others think about the WOT coil and their experiences with it versus the standard coil on Quattro. Thank-you...

    have a couple questions about hunting in all-metal and adjusting noise cancel.

    Hi All. I have a question about hunting in the all-metal mode, and about adjusting the noise cancel. The first question may have an obvious answer, but I thought I'd ask it anyways. I was wondering when you hunt in all-metal if the targets signals you get for iron and all the other metals you...
