I have been reading and researching on the FBS technology of the Minelab Explorers and Quattros. One thing that appears quite frequently is the complaint and sometimes this is quite loud about how slow both detectors are getting back to detecting after pinpointing an object. How true is this common complaint?

I have only been using mine for one month, so any comments I make should be seen in the light of very little experience. I have used other detectors however, so I am not a total novice. I have noticed that there is a slowness as you suggest, but I don't believe that it is worth talking about. You wait a second or two, that hardly seems to be a problem. As far as I'm concerned, it is a great machine.
I have used the Explorer for a year now!
if your in a hurry you'll miss a lot of good finds...slow her down, keep your pace relaxed and happy, you'll enjoy detecting better! Besides...how many people enjoy the riggers of blasting around a 1800's relic site at a lighting fast pace and moving on to a new location 2 hours later! I enjoy the site for 3-6 months myself!

Jkasta, when they make comments about the FBS multi frequency Minelabs being slower, they are not meaning like a few seconds!
They might be a heartbeat slower, there's a whole lot of analysing going on what with 28 simultaneous frequencies being pumped at one moment.
I believe that this trait is a good thing...
Making us slow up a bit!
My motto is down below...
I've been detecting beaches previously hunted by the "Speedy Gonzales" types ~ and still brought home the goodies!

What he said on the Explorer but I have heard the Quattro is slow as a snail. That doesn't mean it wont make finds, we watched Butch work his Quattro and we considered checking his pulse a few times he was moving so slow but man did he dig a pile of silver with that machine.
