Hi everyone, just joined the forum although i have been reading it for a couple of weeks. Great job everyone. Received my new Quattro Thursday 10-05-06 and hope to have a lot of fun with it. Already putting into action some of the suggestions on this forum. Its been a great help. Im situated in mid-west Florida. Would love to get with someone who is knowledgeable that I can get together with and do a little detecting with from time to time. Bernie

Man I envy you. You now have a GREAT detector and live in a very exciting state do do detecting in. I hear Florida has some awsome beach wreck leftovers. Do some reasearch on this and I'll bet you'll come up with some great finds. Remember too, the BIBLE on the Quatro is Andy Sabisch's book Mastering the Quatro. It's a great book and goes into cross-saving that even the owners manual doesn't cover, at least when I bought mine. Let us know how you do and please share your finds on the forum, good or bad. I'm always curious what other people find.

Without a doubt that book is something that I would consider a necessity. You can learn some it on your own and some here but there is just so much info there that will help jump start your knowledge it really is an incredible thing.
While the Quattro is touted as a turn on and go machine there still is lots of info it gives you that only will makes sense after you gain some experience. Even then some of what happens will remain a mystery till you know even more.
I also am very new to this so perhaps I am off track but I think for me the key was using the book, air testing items and writting down the numbers and tones I got, lots of time in the back yard scanning even when I did not have the time to dig up anything, just to get used to swinging it and the tones you get, lastly I started by only digging the tones that are a high probibility of being something. upper 30, solid location, doesnt jump around, high pitched. and lastly I read every forum out there as there is so much to be learned and others experiences saved me so much time.

Boy, Raprtro, you just said a mouthful. I couldn't agree with you more about gleaning all the great information from all the posts here. I just wrote a "huge" letter and decided to delete it because it was too tedious, so I'll have to try and say it more concisely. There is a WEALTH of information here in this forum. Donald Trump said in a real estat course that I have: "If you want to truly be sucessful you not only need to "study", but you need to "practice" it too. It's a combination of the two, and I think we have one other resource to help us get to the next "success" level of detecting and that is all the wonderful posts and information right here in Finds Treasure Forum. For pete's sake, gang, we have people here that are sharing their personal detector experiences and tricks and tips, right here on the forum and, I don't know about you, but so many times I kind of "gloss" over that and try and just look at the "pretty pictures". Well my question is: What does it take to get the great stuff to put in the "pretty pictures". Get my drift, I hope?
