Have ordered my Goldquest SS earlier this week and am told that it should be with me soon, in the meanwhile, can anybody direct me to either a Field Test Report or an on-line Manual

Hi Tony, pity no mannual on line ,down loaded my Whites surfmaster PI Pro mannual before I got detector, see you soon

If you will do a search on this forum you will find some 'tests' done (I believe by Bill Crabtree) in lab conditions and several discussions from several on depth and sens. I have found generally 14 to 15" on a US Nickel with quality earphones.... Frank
 
I sent off a field test to 'Treasure Hunting' just before Christmas but how long it will take to get to print I can't say as they do tend to take a few months before anything is published.
 
Pulse Induction
S.A.T. - Self Adjusting Threshold. This is a circuit that maintains the threshold settings as you sweep the coil over ground. Changes in ground makeup alter the threshold as you sweep. With S.A.T. it does the circuit re-setting for you. The Deepstar, Aquastar, and the Goldquest SS, have a control the user can adjust, to change the rate of when the circuit re-sets automatically.
Most detectors today employ S.A.T., VLF, and PI.. It is the motion needed, in the motion mode. Without motion, the S.A.T. tunes out the target, trying to maintain the threshold. In no motion pin point, as in some VLF detectors, that turns off the S.A.T. so you can pin point easier.
With the adjustable S.A.T. control, one can set up the threshold re-set speed for the different hunting conditions encountered while detecting. With slower S.A.T. speeds, one can detect targets deeper than they can in the same instance with a fast S.A.T., because your giving the circuit more time to analyze the signal. The trade off is that the ground will also have an affect. Tougher ground generally requires a faster S.A.T.
As far as what adjustments to use, changing from beach jewelry hunting goes, I
