Quattro MP
Designed for Treasure Hunters who want to enter into FBS class performance!

This is one detector that is specialized to find treasures.
Powered by Minelab's ultimate FBS multiple frequency technology, this is the detector for anyone who wants simplicity AND performance!

Ready for parks, beaches and battlefields.
Only Minelab's FBS technology will provide outstanding performance even on saltwater beaches! The Quattro's digital target ID is ready to deliver deep, accurate information on the targets you're looking for!

Has four complete and seperate programs.
Just pick your mode and start hunting! You can choose from "Coin" mode, "Coin/Jewlery" mode, "Relic" mode and "All Metal" mode. Each program is designed by professionals to give you the best settings for these individual hunting styles. No more guesswork!

Features advanced, multi-frequency Full Band Spectrum (FBS) technology.
When developing the Quattro MP, Minelab’s scientists looked at developing a truly easy to use yet extremely powerful multi-purpose metal detector. Discussions with seasoned treasure hunters from around the world identified a number of possible enhancements for operators.
Combined with Minelab's existing multiple frequency BBS technology, the Quattro gives you greater detecting depth, more consistent sensitivity over a wide range of targets, less interference from electromagnetic sources and a much more accurate identification of your targets.
Most detectors on the market operate on a single (or dual) frequency, ranging from 1 to 70 kilohertz (kHz). Although this technology has served the industry well for years, Minelab’s scientists found that a frequency that worked well in one area would often offer only marginal performance when used in another location. Ground mineralisation, trash content, and target size all had an effect on how effective a detector transmitting a single frequency would operate.

Put simply, Minelab’s unique FBS technology means deep, sensitive, accurate detecting.

The FBS circuit automatically transmits multiple frequencies simultaneously. This increased frequency range means that the signal received from the detector coil is analyzed from a wide range of responses.  This information is relayed to you via the speaker, or headphones, and the control panel’s liquid crystal display as audio and visual target response.

A metal detector’s electromagnetic operating frequencies are measured in kiloHertz (kHz). Low signal frequencies (e.g. 1.5 kHz) penetrate deepest, but sensitivity to smaller targets is low. On the other hand, higher frequencies have a moreshallow depth of penetration but high sensitivity to small targets. The Quattro MP’s multiple-frequency operation provides the advantage of both.

Ground Compensation
The Quattro MP uses a sophisticated approach to the elimination of signals caused by ground mineralisation. Unlike other forms of ground balance that require constant readjustment, FBS technology uses advanced digital filtering to eliminate the influence of ground signals.
