SIMPLE AND AWESOME!
chief paul in whitehall ny. -
The quattro is simply a deepseeker it kills in the corn-fields hunted with many other brands and although a bit slow in sweep speed it does a far better job and is more sensitive than any other machine I have ever used! I did replace the stock coil with the new ml pro coil this made a huge difference in its performance. I pulled an 1807 us quarted from 18 inches in a turned over field!

Quattro MP - Worth the money!
Witcher in Poland -I'm using this detector since 2005. It's easy to use and very deep. Everything is working just great after few years of using in hard condition- a tank perfect for coin shooting (especially in high mineralization ground). And I really do not care of the recovery speed.

People who don't like it...
Nick hunter in Europe -....did not take the time to learn it well. It took me six months to be able to understand and use this machine's full capacities.
I can run with the sens at 20 (max) on the wet salt sand, with little, if any, falsing. It finds coins and rings at up to 14* inches with ease and will outclass any other vlf single frequency and even PI units as far as results per hour of searching are concerned.
A thing people fail to understand with that kind of powerful units, is when to LOWER the sensitivity. This, plus the noise cancel feature, are to me the two keys to successful detecting with the Minelab Quattro.
Of course, this unit has a slow recovery time, but "fast sweepers" don't find as much, or miss more if you prefer, than slow, careful and meticulous searchers, so who cares?
Mine has repaid itself several times in gold.
Happy hunting !!

Pretty like Christine yet simple powerfull detector
Jo in La -Well I've had a few detectors in my time and the quattros one of the finest in my opinion. Its simple, powerful, deep and pretty. Just like Christine. It has mystery looks and performance. Love the coin and jewelry combo and great coin machine as well. Sweep rate is a bit slow and processing at times but it makes up in power and simplicity. It loves quarters and silver and sure is pretty. Can't wait to hit the beach with it thats where I hear its a monster.

Quattro MP: Great Detector! Replaced my Whites 6000 Di Pro
Greg in Pittsburgh, PA -I've owned this detector for about a month now and had it out twice. I bought it to replace my 22 year old Whites 6000 Di Pro (which still works great too). The second time I had the Quarttro MP out was in a small park. I found several pennies, a quarter, a silver necklace and my first ring! I've read many unfavorable comments about this detector which are all unfounded. Yes, one does have to "slow down", but I'm finding as much or more even at the slower speeds as opposed to my old detector.
I've noticed quite a few more signals when detecting too. I've read some reviews that say you can't separate signals in high trash areas or signals that are close together. This isn't true. You CAN! Some people may not be used to selecting what they can reject/accept in small increments. The Quattro allows a person to reject a range of specific items. For example, a pull tab may register a "range" of numbers. With the Quattro you can pretty much reject different levels of pull tabs if you like or all of them for that matter. This helps when a nickle may "overlap" with a pull tab on the scale. You can reject the majority of pull tabs, but still accept most nickles because you don't have to reject the full line of pull tabs like you do with other detectors. Other detectors cover a broader range of discrimination when you select one item/number to reject.
In addition, I think most people are used to setting their discrimination pattern to reject everything below a certain level or they just "black out" everything on the lower end of the scale. The Quattro can do this, but then you would miss all the other signals (rings, other jewelry, etc.).
I like the fact that I can "micro-manage" my detector's accept/reject pattern. Why would you want to hit a button and reject "large blocks" of items when you can just "micro select" specific ones?
Overall, this is an easy detector to use. Take it out of the box, turn it on and start detecting. It has great depth (Only taking this detector out twice, I found pennies at 6+ inches with the stock coil.). It is easy to use, good quality, and nice features. The only things I would change about it is that it needs a back lit display. The display is hard to read when detecting into the early evening hours.
The bottom line is if you are thinking about this detector. . . buy one! It will take a little bit of learning to get used to (what detector doesn't require this?), but not like other people are saying that it has a steep learning curve. It is simple to use, but also gives you the ability to make adjustments. If you want simplicity this is it, but if you also want to "micro-manage" your settings this is your detector too. Minelab's Quattro MP is a great detector!!! For all you people out there disatisfied I'll buy your detector for what you think it is worth and sell it for what it is worth. ha!

QUATTRO FINDS COINS!
Harry in Vancouver, Wa -Only three things you need to know to find coins in coin mode. Slow the sweep down, slow the sweep down, and JUST SLOW THE DARN SWEEP DOWN!

I paid for learning...
Anonymous in Belgium -
I bought this detector to save money, but instead it costed me let's call it learning money.
It promises to be a powerful machine, but the machine has huge problems with mineralization at the beach. I had the luck of trying out an Explorer II after having searched a month with the Quattro and I immediately sold the Quattro and bought me a really good machine: Explorer II.
One advice: if you really can't afford Explorer II, then buy the Souvereign GT: more (analog) power for less money...

From Average to Outstanding !
Fred Deburghgraeve in Belgium -I own a Bountyhunter Time Ranger and a Minelab Quattro! The first times I went out with my Quattro, i used the preset programs COINS and COINS & JEWELRY! I found that the quattro didn't perform a lot better than my Time Ranger! Not until I started to search for my own program :
Program : All Metal
Discrimination : -10 to -5
Sensitivity : 16 or more (depending on conditions)
Threshold : 8
Volume always Maximum (20)
High or Low trash density (depending on conditions)
Ever since I've found a lot more valuables at greater depth than before! So deep, most other detectors wouldn't find!
For me, QUATTRO RULES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
