Field Test Quest Q20 And Q40

I must say, both Dave Stuckey and I were delighted to get our hands on these new Quest models.

For some time now, we had been hearing rumours about these detectors and had wanted to see what all the fuss was about. The recent developments in the detector market can seem somewhat overwhelming, saturated with new models and new manufacturing companies, some of which have developed into household names while others have somewhat fallen by the wayside. The choice of machines these days is phenomenal compared to what it was only a decade or so ago. Launching new machines, let alone a new manufacturing company can involve some serious effort in order to compete with the established brands. However, as we have seen, it can be done successfully and with great benefit to the hobby in design and development. Would these two new detectors be yet more market saturation or would there be something rather more individual about them?

First Impressions and Assembly 

So the doorbell having rung, announcing the arrival of the two new Quest machines, a large package now lay on the living room floor. Dave was at work, so couldn’t share in the unwrapping ceremony and associated excitement.
