(I am not a seasoned Minelab user, so bear with me if I make some remarks that are out in left field) I finally got a Quattro to try out.... As a dealer, when equipment comes in, I try it out especially new releases.... Well, to say the least, I am impressed with the Quattro...Let's get the negitive out of the way... Like the EX II, it's heavy but other than that, it's all uphill.
First, I like the turn-on-and-go, ... Simplier display....and as relic hunter, the
AM is great... The audio response on different targets under the coil is close to that of the MXT and the processor of the Quattro seems to be faster than the EX II. As far as deep is concerned, I found a small lead piece, that was flattened out to about the size of 1/2 a dime,at over 8 inches in dry white clay. The audio was "normal" in that for a target that small and deep, it should have been less in volume... Too, the ID was correct... Rarely do I get this excited about a detector.... I like the EX II and the GT, but this thing gets the thumbs-up.
I have read where some of you have had incredible depths at the beach... Well, I'm going in 3 weeks and see what happens..... I am open to any critique on anything that I have said and
please do respond.... Ain't this a wonderful hobby, 58 years old, detecting for 30 years and I get more excited now than I did many years ago....Best to all, RichardnTn

I'm on my fourthe detector and Quatro is by far the best one for me. It's also the most expensive, but I think I got what I paid for. I wanted the Explorer, but couldn't quite afford it so I bought the Quatro, but it works great every where I've used it, great depth, terriffic handeling of salt water and mineralization, easy to use and wonderful discrimintation. I'm with you all the way on the Quatro.
