Quest Metal Detectors

Comparison: Quest PRO vs Minelab X-Terra 705. Which is better to buy?

Hushed whispers are wandering among md sellers behind the scenes – folks are discussing a piece of very strange news… Greece has never been a top buyer of metal detectors. And that is quite explicable as local rules regarding private metal detecting in this country are rather strict. And suddenly… This autumn (2018) Greece bought several hundreds of the Makro Multi Kruzer machines. Such fact is so unexpected and incomprehensible as if the Turkish accidentally discovered a gold mine.

When I saw the pictures of the Minelab Go-Find dismantling, I said to myself that something had changed in new detectors. The mere Minelab Go-Find screen can make MD manufacturers, with their technologies from the ’90s (and even older), feel ashamed. The Quest Q40 has a new tech screen as well. In fact, this machine’s interior looks better than most modern machines. Take a look and give me your opinion on: does the future belong to technology or will the oldest vacuum tube detector remain in operation? Continue reading
