Having recently purchased a used Minelab Quattro I was left feeling a little deflated after seeing the various reviews pointing out the units slow recovery time between targets. On top of this figuring what the target icons actually related to here in Ireland. So here is the data that I have.
All the information here is first hand. Taken in all metal mode with zero discrimination.
Minelab Quattro's recovery time. Its better than you think.
Minelabs Quattro's are considered to have very slow recovery times. While this appears to be somewhat true with regards to the preset search modes that supply the user with graphic target icons. If on the the hand the user runs the unit in "All Metal Mode" the recovery time between targets is more than acceptable and on par with other brands of machines of the same approx age. Numbers on the display are more or less the same weather using conductivity or fe detection modes. Reading stability is really good for this machine I find that some other brands can jump around like crazy example swinging over a target the display may jump between 20-21 for instance, But another machine (Garrett AT Pro International) may jump to many numbers all over its display range. Granted the Garrett AT Pro is far more sensitive to the composition, Shape and size of the target.
So the bottom line is that the Minelab Quattro is a fine machine that can be picked up for a more than reasonable price, it works well on land or along the beach so I'll be hanging on to mine for a good while to come.
