Minelab Quattro

Minelab Quattro

Kojakk in Phoenix, AZ -
I have never used a metal detector before I bought the Quattro. I tested a few coins and pull tabs within the first 15 minutes after I put it together. It seemed easy enough, so, off I went to the park. That was two weeks ago. Since then, I've unearthed close to $10 in coins, several sterling silver charms, some kids toys, a shotgun shell and a few other uninteresting things.

Assembly - It couldn't be easier. 15 minutes.

Manual - Too basic. It needs to contain some
"real world" advice.

Ease of Use - If I can figure it out, anyone can!

Pinpointing - Pretty accurate by my account.

Customer Support ( Minelab ) - Slow to respond to
questions from their "Pros". The Quattro manual
and tips have yet to be activated - Bad form Minelab!

Overall, I am happy with this detector. I give it four stars because I don't know any better. This week, I will move from Arizona parks and schools
to a river area and some fields that I've been
watching.

Good depth and so easy to use. Pre-programmed modes straight from the box work well on the beach. I have had two coins from in the region of 10" deep on wet sand. I have more faith in it's depth capabilities than my DFX or MXT. The only
downsides are the weight and pinpoint which is not as accurate as the Whites machines. The Whites target id seems better too but overall a super machine that is definitely suited to the beaches in the UK.

Only got a chance to use Quattro once so far for 3hrs. Easy to use,good depth, easy to pinpoint, and very stable. Out of box digging coins 7" no problem in preset modes. Its a keeper for me. Good Hunting
