Hi All. I had a question about the Teknetics machine and the Minelab quattro. I've had the quattro now for about 7 months. I'm still getting used to all the sounds and tones it makes. I recently met with my detector dealer in my area and he had the new Teknetics 2 machine. He demonstrated it for me and I have to say that I LOVED what I saw. I especially loved the "quick" response time on it to targets. With the quattro I have noticed the "slow" recovery speed on targets, and I've heard that the slow recovery speed can be a positive thing for whatever reason. My metal detector dealer disagreed with that though telling me that he's never found anything positive about a slow recovery speed on a detector, other than frustration. So I was just wondering if anyone else on this forum has used or has a quattro and what they think about the quattro and the T-2, and if I should trade in my quattro for a T-2, or just stick with the quattro for awhile and learn it better? Thank's for any suggestions. HH. Sincerely, Randy

Should I keep my quattro?

I'd have a hard time getting rid of that machine right away...It's a good detector you know. I haven't seen the T2 yet but I've read everything coming and going good and negative... Both have been on the boards. However...the T2 has been 95% good and only 5% bad. My GTI 2500 didn't fair that good and it's a great machine.
In about a month I'll have my T2 reviews posted. And I promise I'll put her through the mills...literally. hehehe

and really like it a lot. It's quickly becoming one of my favorite machines along with the Coinstrike & GTi1500. But, I have to admit, I was also fighting with the feeling of trading it for a T-2, but not because I don't like it, or because the T-2 is a better machine, but mainly because the GRASS IS ALWAYS GREENER ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FENCE type of mentality. But I think I'm going to keep the Quattro for awhile. That 8" coil makes a world of difference.
Personally, I would keep the Quattro and save for the T2... 
It really depends on what type of sites you hunt which would work better. With my Explorer the LCD ID is slow but the audio ID is a good bit quicker. I would imagine the the Quattro is similar. It's like Mike said the grass is always greener on the other side. The Quattro is a very capable machine too and right in the same territory as the T2. Getting a smaller coil will help you in areas where a quick reset speed is needed.
