In Quests defence mate they were using that style and design long before the Equinox, and the overall design of the Quest is still vastly superior. No-one needs to shop for another shaft with a quest and they never have done. Great review Kris, it's such a shame Quest don't have more marketing power because lesser machines often grab all the attention and more people need to try this company. ATB MMMD
did you know that this machine can function without motion or lets say swing it left right,its AM STATIC with numbers on screen??its usefull if you metal detect in roots,rocks etc.i have a q30 and i know
@@AdventuresWithButtons a year later….that’s a long term test 👍🏼 I have an X10 pro, it was my first ever detector. I’m loving the hobby and now looking to upgrade and I’m thinking a Q30 might be a good option!
you prolly dont care but does someone know a way to get back into an Instagram account..? I was stupid forgot the password. I love any assistance you can give me!
@Jake Maxton thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and Im trying it out now. Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
I have the q10 and love it I grab it more the the other detectors I have I would love to get the qust 30 and test it out here in my state thanks for the reviews you do hh
Love the videos, I’m new to detecting and would like to buy my first machine, I’m looking at the q30 and after a visit to my local club a couple of the lads are using the simplex nokta makro, which they are both very happy with, I now can’t make my mind up, as some reviews say the q30 performs better, and is easier to use, please can you help with the choice, thanks
Hi Kris I purchased a Q30 after your reviews I’m new to detecting and loving it I’m a below knee amputee and so far I’ve not detected myself. Love ya channel pal so keep them videos coming STAY SAFE
Just ordered one of these due to your review. Haven't told my wife yet. You might have to have a word for me. P.s. Really loving your vids. It's pretty much the only MD channel that doesn't do my head in.
Me and my 9 year old have fell in love with metal detecting, we've got 300 ish to spend on a machine, would you recommend this or the garret 400i, your experienced opinion is truly valued sir, 💚🌱☘🌳🍃🍂
I have the 400i & am thinking of selling it & getting something like this - the 400i is great on land but the beaches where I live drive it crazy/next to useless - rough shore is ok.
Great video once again, I sold my simplex and bought the Q30+ only used a couple of hours then had a bit of a stroke. I keep looking at orx and nox 600 but every time I see your videos I'm convinced the quest is coming out in a few months, thanks very much 🎅⛄🎄👍
I'd like to see Quest hit the US market harder. Maybe get some US UA-camr's involved. From what I can see after hours of research, Quest has the best all around package (minus simultaneous MF) in the industry, it is everything I would build into a machine if I built one. I use an Equinox but I'd like to give the Q30 or Pro a shot soon.
Joan allen as you said, it was the best price with the free pin pointer too, I was surprised the offer was still on but when I saw it I snapped it up, I was tired of digging up rubbish using my Cs4pi , and couldn't afford the equinox
@@gravelbags2479 I don’t think you’re going to be unimpressed, even though we have to have the luck to walk over a find to find it, I think you’ll soon see how good the machine is (especially for the price) Tell me how it goes!
@@Addictedtobleeps it's a bit cherpy on my beach but not too bad, lots of iron on the beach as the pier had burned down and loads of ally so difficult to find a nice find, but so far I quite like the machine, just need a better beach and/or a a field to use it in a s not tried a field mode yet
Hello Kris , hope you're doing well my friend . I got mine 2 weeks ago , BRILLIANT , im loving it . What a machine , barely use the pinpointer , its so accurate ,and once i got the numbers wright ,ive been digging less trash .Been trying in a piece of woods behind houses , full of trash , perfect for the Park mode , found a silver spoon today . Really happy with it , just need at some point to go back home and try on the beaches nearby . Thank you for your work , stay safe and well
Yea my quest pro wipes the floor with the Roman sites I have and Nox 800 can't compete with it for speed in these site only my Aka Sorax pro and signum can match my quest pro on performance. With out a doubt I love the quest pro and the 30 is another example of this awesome companies products. Def agree with another comment they don't get enough media coverage which is a shame
Hi Kris, looking at getting back into the hobby. Looking for a cheap coin shooter for my local beach to give me a bit of daylight in lockdown etc. Which way would you lean Quest X5 or a Garrett Ace 200/300. Any thoughts welcome :-)
2 of my detecting friends have both purchased this machine in the last week from Joan Allen. One of which got the Q30+ I was out with him a few days ago and it was his first outing with it, I was taken back at how much detector he got for his money! Its a brilliant machine. Lighter than my deus (with the 13x11"coil) too. Great video review. Look forward to seeing the Q60. All the best Kris, stay safe my friend
Ive done it ...... Ive received it .... Now looking forward to getting out with it 😁 Thank you for everything Kris. Yup, Spectrum fella here. Had the old 64k rubber key with separate tape deck as well as the spectrum 128k +2 😉 I learned all my programming on it. Manic Miner and Colin The Cleaner were my go-to games.
Excellent review, not had a chance to test my Q30 will mainly be used on the beach, work commitments etc..but seriously looking forward to the day I can. To early to wish you Merry Xmas?
Deteknix Quest series detectors is just a 1:1 copy of…. Teknetics T2 metal detector! For instance, the Deteknix Quest offers a virtually identical set of options as the T2, the sounds the Quest makes are the same as the sounds of the T2, and as the following screenshots demonstrate that the Quest display outputs the same information as the T2 display with only minor cosmetic changes:
I had a nokta simplex and I hated it the shaft was terrible it felt flimsy and the coil felt like it wobbled as I swung back and forth it felt cheap to me even though it wasn't.
Well that's totally confused me now, just sold an old Ace 250 and was all set to purchase a Simplex, now I have seen your review of the Q30. Decisions, decisions. 🤔
Sorry but I have to say that the commodore 64 wins that contest easily due to one thing and one thing only... the panic on my mums face when I watched the loading screen colours dance and flicker on the screen. She used to take my temperature while i watched fearing I'd have a fit! True story ha ha
I agree it looks like an equinox, but i think you mssed something with that statement. I think its not so much made to look like an Equinox, like many other brands and models, but if you think about it, the control pod of this, the Nox and many others, looks more like a smart phone. With the technology today in smart phones and battery tech, why do you need a big bulky control box when you can have a light vertical one, which is not only light but the vertical design keeps a better balance then a wide one. Buy the way, be on the look out in the near future for the Air Detector, which is a 100 percent wireless detector that you use your smart phone and an app as the control pod. They are rolling out into the market right now.
people hide treasure in trees. I know a tree surgeon found a bicycle dynamo, with his chainsaw saw, in a tree. He wondered about the person who had placed it there. He thought it was probably placed their whilst conducting bike maintenance, perhaps on a summers day, in the shade of this tree.
Another great video Kris. Agree regarding the Spectrum computer! Had a 16k, 48k and a plus 2 back in the day. Then I went to the dark side and got a Commodore Amiga 😂😂
@@Vinz3ntR yes you are probably right, I took a new one i had purchased that was faulty back to tandys for an exchange and the one I got back had the extra memory already installed, bonus 😀
The upside of lower priced detectors having far greater functions than those detectors from 10 years ago should make manufacturers of top end detectors offer even better performance than they have now, or risk losing income from loyal customers, on a side note how is Millie getting on with his new detector, which is a Quest detector if memory serves me right.
@@Addictedtobleeps hi khris lol the age old thing of is it working right for me,I had a coinmaster pro before the q40 I just like it as of it being turn on and go,
Still need that opening track in my life! Can feel warm summer vibes, wondering through the countryside. Headphones on just exploring. Please publish it 🙏 😁 Thanks for another great video.
i've spent half of year using Q30 and i'm not disappointed... it does the job
Why do I get static sound ? Must set up something ?
The only problem I have with my Q 30 is it Doesn't ID very well on any Deep target. It won't give any ID reading
Hey, where can this deal be had for shipping to the US? 😕🤷🏼♀️
Thanks in advance!!

One year later???

I have an X10 pro, it was my first ever detector. I’m loving the hobby and now looking to upgrade and I’m thinking a Q30 might be a good option!
How can you protect yourself from the cancer harming label on the metal detector?
Which is better Quest Q30 vs Gold monster 1000?
It wouldnt be fair for me to say, as I've never used the Gold Monster :(
Have you reviewed the Q20?
Had the Simplex and sent it back and got the Q30. A miles miles miles better machine.

Great video. What do you think of the quest q35 as someones first detector
Can you fit the raptor coil on an X10 PRO? I'm planning on a cheap WP beach detector and I don't really have enough money for the q30 😅

Hi what advantages if any does the equinox 800 have over the Q30
More power, multi frequency, better depth. This is an amazing machine for the price, but there’s a reason why the Nox is three times more expensive 👍🏻

Hellloooooooo! I'd recommend the new Quest machines I've been reviewing. At that price, id say the Q30 is a better option!

Do you know if any of the 2 gold modes on the Q30 will detect gold nuggets?

hi chris, do you know which country the q30 is manufactured??
Hi, Barry - they're American.

Never mind the metal detectors - I’m 100% with you that the Zx spectrum was better than the c64!! Miss those early computing days😀
