There is a lot of these 3D printed parts for various machines out there but 99% of them are just not needed. Coil lug strengtheners are a case in point. A solution to a problem that does not exist. Quest machines don't need anything like that. 👍

I think you know all the features now including the manual ground balance and the frequency shift for EMI. Have you joined us on the Official Quest Facebook group yet? https://www.facebook.com/groups/deteknix

You press and hold the ground balance button and use the VOLUME up and down buttons that are located on the side surface of the machine. That will scroll through the frequency offset. You cannot change the operating frequency of the machine. That is fixed at 7.99 kHz. You can only very slightly move the frequency by a matter hertz not kilohertz. It is the smallest of adjustments just to help avoid interference from nearby machines and electrical devices.

If you bought from Amazon you should still be able to return it even after 6 months. Also you Quest warranty is for 2 years so you are covered under that. Where are you located?

It would be great to see what you find with your X10. Do keep in touch and let us know how you are getting on with it. Also don't forget we have two facebook groups. https://www.facebook.com/groups/deteknix/ and https://www.facebook.com/groups/quest.metaldetectors.uk/ It would great to see you there!

Those are your tone settings. Unlike many machines in this price range which has a single fixed tone, the X10 gives you multiple tones to choose from. C1: one mid tone without the low iron sound (usually referred to as iron grunt) C2: one mid tone with iron the low iron sound. C3: 3 tones low mid and high C4: 4 tones C5: 5 tones C6: pitch tones or variable tones depends on signal strength. So choosing your tones gives you more audio information about the target. I normally only use C3 so you have low for iron and other ferrous metals. A mid tone for good non-ferrous targets that have lower conductivity such as gold rings. And a high tone for good non-ferrous targets with higher conductivity such as silver. It is all about versatility and setting the detector to work in the way you are comfortable with it.

Ok, yes that is the threshold tone level when in all metal mode. Back in the old days most detectors would have a constant threshold sound. You could normally run quiet but that would reduce depth. But at the same time you don't want that sound blasting in your ears all the time! So you can set the level of this sound to suit yourself. Ideally it should be at a level where you can just about hear it. Anyway that is what the +/- figures represent. The level of the background tone in all metal mode.

Hi Franky. Congrats on your purchase of the X10, it is a great machine! What exactly did you want to set up with the All Metal function? I normally leave it as it is. The positive/negative numbers? Are you perhaps referring to the numbers on the depth scale on the right of the display? The + numbers are deeper, such as 7+ which would be 7 or more inches and the negatives are the opposite, so much shallower, near the surface. Of course, they are only a guide. As for the blanked speaker icon in the bottom right? There are only two speaker icons that will appear on the screen and these appear in 'settings'. One shows when changing the number of tones in Jewellery and Coin mode. The other, and I think this might be the one you are referring to is for setting the "threshold" level in All Metal mode. It is not blanked though. It shows a sound wave across the speaker. Was that the one?

That doesn't sound correct Guy. Which country are you in and who is the dealer?

I am very happy to hear that it worked for you Mohammad. 😀

This gold ring was found with the Quest Q30 in wet sand about 6 inches down. Saltwater mode and sensitivity at 75. No falsing. What a fantastic machine 😀

I will be very interested to hear about your results.

Ok so with the ground balance on 1 did you also reduce sensitivity? There are some types of ground where even a simultaneous multi-frequency machine will have problems. In these cases you have to learn to pick out the good targets from all the noise. It is not easy and can be very tiring. The only machines that will handle that sort of ground are pulse induction but Quest does not make anything like that at the moment.

Is the rocky terrain heavily mineralised? Have you tried manually setting ground balance to zero and perhaps lowering sensitivity a little?

I am not sure you have a problem? If you have version 1805 installed on your Quest Pro then it should be fine. Is the machine not working correctly? Also have you joined the Quest Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/deteknix/ ?

Thought I would update this thread. I have recently been out on the beach with the X10 again but this time using the new Beast 13x9 coil. This gives excellent ground coverage but is also a LOT less sensitive to knocks than the standard blade coil. You do still need to follow my previous advice of manual ground balance and lower sensitivity down to around 60 but it works well. The surprising thing is that you would think the larger coil would make the machine very unbalanced. But this is not the case. It actually felt better than having the standard coil fitted. Maybe that is just me but I liked it a lot.

That is correct. There is no wireless module within the X10. I think the original intention was to include one but that would have pushed the cost above where Quest saw this machine in the market. It is still superb value for money though. I don't know any other machine that can compete with the X10 at this price point.

Just wanted to mention that although it is technically a requirement to register your machine for warranty, Quest are extremely good at honouring warranties simply by checking the serial number. Obviously you still need to have not misused the equipment.

Renato, did you manage to get hold of a Quest X10?

There are a lot of videos about the Quest Pro on youtube although I am not sure if any are a step by step guide to setting it up. Best place to ask would be on the Quest Facebook Group.
