    I thought I would share this with my fellow detectors. I have always wanted a way to cherry pick gold through all the pull tabs. I woke up during the night several days ago and had an idea. I put a headphone splitter in my phone jack and connected a chromatic to tuner the the quattro. Running...

    Quattro Beach Recovery Tool

    I did not want to post this picture without trying it first. The first time I went to beach detecting I was having a hard time recovering some of my targets especially in the real wet sand.(Mainly because of the depth of some of the targets) As you dig the wet sand keeps coming back in. I...

The more I use the quattro the more I like it. It sure does a good job on the beach. There was a lot of iron where I was hunting but I...

    Received Quattro Today

    Got my Quattro today and rushed out before dark and hunted a vacant lot for about 30min. before it got dark. This is a totally different machine than what I am used to but I like it. The field was loaded with rusty wire pieces which made hunting difficult. The 8in. coil would have worked better...

    Is there room for one more on here?

    I have a quattro headed my way and can't wait to try it out. I have been detecting for several yrs. and still learning. I have read alot about the quattro and seems like you either love it or hate it. I have been using the MXT for the last couple of years. It is a good machine but now that I...
