What have you found on the beach with your Q?

[Doug[Manila]]

I've not been using my Quattro more for land but would like to do more beach hunting with it. Haven't had much mileage on my Q for quite some time though...
How fast can you swing this unit in the wet sand?

Hello

Bought my Q 2nd hand two months ago.

Being a beach hunter, I already found 2,5 times the amount I paid for. As I always say, we in Europe are very lucky to have high value clad.

The slower you'll sweep on the wet, the more you'll find. Don't misunderstand me. Just don't hurry !

Like how many feet is your one sweep and in how many seconds? Thanks,

 

[nick hunter]

About 5 or 6" in 2 seconds.

When I encounter a good spot, especially on the wet, I go even slower. (4", same distance)

Those Minelabs on the wet need also a manual sensitivity setting.

Nick.

What have I found with my Quattro?.....Mmmmm...lets see: Goldfeilds: A bottle dump where over 150 1800's intact bottles come out of it not to mention other relics, a heap of relics too much to mention and ranging from buckles, buttons, fob watches parts, hamonica reeds, jewelry, purse parts, cutlery, chains, trinkets like thimbles and sewing machine feet, etc, not to mention a myriad of old coins, exept a gold one. One the beach: a stack of coins, gold/copper/silver and junk jewelry, relics, plus a heap of rubbish. Large stuff; iron tools and relics. Problem is, I don't know where to put most of it! Some on the wall, some on a desk, the rest stashed away. With what I've sold, I've paid my Quattro twice over. Mind you, paid around $1,600 for my Quattro, a little more than you guys pay over there!

Hello Golden !

French car, as well known over here are cheaper in the rest of Europe than...in France !!

The same goes apparently for Australian detectors...We pay here 700 euro for a new Q.

Something like 1190 AUD

That is quite a difference !

I'll never understand those kinds of situations !

Your still a Tiger, Golden. I'm so impressed that you "still" paid the Quatro back, two times over or more at the excessive price they charged you for it down under. My hat is off to you, once again, and for all your tenacity in finding all the stuff you've found. Good to see you on the forum. Marc. (backslyder)
