![Quest Q30 [Unboxing - feature look - Depth test]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/g-F3AFbthEw/mqdefault.jpg)
I picked up my first detector last year, its a quest x5. Very nice for a beginner and has done well so far for me. I just recently found a 1700s British sterling silver spoon.
So the Quest X5 is as good as all the guys in the UK say it is?? Yahoooooooooo! Quest is finally making some good headlines.. Im like the only channel doing reviews for Quest with my Q40 .. yahoooo
I run the q30+ it's fantastic I also have the q30 deep fast and just very good the wireless headphones are small light comfortable and loud no lag so yes all around I would rather the q30+ over the simplex
Quest metal detectors are only available in Canada only from 1 dealer....The X10 is an excellent machine and the Xpointer Max is a great pinpointer as well!! It is the first pinpointer with discrimination capabilities.
Yes i am planing to buy after xp mi-4 pinpointer a Xpointer 🙂
So should a person spend 200 on the Quest X10 or 250 on the Simplex? I love the depth on the Quest X10 and the 300 dollar Quest Q30. I`ve seen people bury a coin 10 inches deep and still hit it with the Quest after raising the coil 5 inches above the ground.
Forest City?
I started out w/ a Quest X5 That was an awesome machine. So I bought another one. Now I have a Quest Q30+. I love that machine!! I live in Va around a lot of Civil War battlefields. I’ve been in places that I was told had been hunted out years ago & I found targets that other machines didn’t find. Not only find multiple targets but find them deep!! 10” -12” & even 16” or more. I’m very happy with Quest Q30 plus.
The Quest had my eye on it a couple yrs back. I was talked out of it for the reasons you gave. Will be interesting to see how it works for you and a review.. Thanks man..
Yeah.. I cant vouch on the cust service ... Ive heard they dont respond back and phone keeps ringing.. but so as lomg as the detector has no defects.. Its a solid built / light machine with 6 pleasant tones
I have the X Pointer Max and it works really well I sure would like to see reviews on the new Quest Hyper Q V80. BTW Quest customer support is really great.
I have several of the Quest units,the Q60 and Q40. Both are quality built and feel solid when handled. Though made in China,the overall rugged construction is contrary to the norm. Well thought of meter system and a pleasure to use.
It feels of much higher quality then anybody would expect coming from China for sure.. I struggle in EMI with my Q40 - how does your machines fare in EMI and mineralized soil?
Man, I must be slippin'....somehow missed White's buying the farm and being acquired by Garrett! I've had both in the past, but fortunately for me, I've been largely a Minelab and XP dude for years....although I do still have a White's PI and a Tesoro for very specific applications.
those two are great machines man.. they dont make them anymore!
Garrett needs to bring out the whites v3i again. Right now they falling way behind in the top end detectors.
@@oldtimer5037 They made a move with the Apex.. unique style and beautiful design but not a serious detector sadly.. iron mask problems.. I dont understand what the wait is.. They own all of Whites technology and could make a killing at this time. XP, Minelab and Nokta Makro competing for marketshare..
Alright...subscribed! You are the man.Love the indepths review/ answer!
I purchased the Simplex when it came out and sent it back after one use, horrible weighty chattery machine. I paid a little extra for the Q30 and it's a thousand times better, great detector and even found a gold coin and 9ct gold ring where i had detected before in local woods and common land. No brainer.
Lots of people wont give the Quest line a chance because of it being made in China.. boy are they missing out on some great built and affordable machines.. love my Q40.. 6 rings so far this year!
I purchased a Q30 from Joan Allen here in England [Kent] "Joan Allen is the only distributer" I hunt beaches the Q30 works well but I knew the company had been sued? [which made me want the machine more!] and you are right $300 is worth a gamble [well happy!! one gold ring in the hold.. I have used metal detectors since the BFO days [fixed coil] I also own Minelab who have just dropped another cash cow on the market X-Terra pro 🤣I also have two Makro machines racer gold and racer [both have paid for their selves in finds] I have been considering XP lite [French company] who build their own machines from scratch anything other than Fisher and Garrett pity Tesoro went down they actually worked.. anyway thank you for the facts makes a nice change!
Old 1200x series Fishers arent bad, well worth buying used. Not many bells n whistles but they go deep.
Thanks for your video for QUEST.
The fact is First Texas withdraw the lawsuit because nothing wrong was found after lawyers compare code to code.
Stay tuned for the new QUEST products in 2022.
Is this Maoquan " Jason" Deng Product designer and founder of the Quest Pro??
Qust want to have a good reputation in the US and if they do it right and market it right then they might get a good name for themselves You're content is not going unseen you put legt and truth in your videos I'm glad the respond maybe if more people tried Qust they might be surprised
@@jeromealmorris1962 Well Jerome, Im going to definately give them the benefit of the doubt.. If they deliver the goods then I say good things if not then I make a TECH-TALK and discuss the details and leave WARNINGS to the community" -
I love quest products, i am very excited for 2022
@@riccardomarinoni6733 Riccardo do you have a QUEST detector right now?
Looking forward to seeing the quest review..
Ill do an open box and go over features.. I've had the Q40 once before and man I gotta tell you I was quite shocked at how well it was built.. I thought it was made in France or Poland. It has a huge following in the UK that say they are "Brilliant!" - then i find out they are a USA California/China built detector... Wow!
Well you expose that the truth now that we know everybody's doing it we won't have to worry about late deliveries because there's no lawsuits anymore job well done young man
I love my quest Q20, its a great machine.
Will buy the new V80 when its available 😊
Thank you for all the information
great job Joey I was always curious about that I was looking at the Quest before the Simplex came out
I still will buy the Quest detectors if I can get a really good deal because from what im hearing.. The customer service basically doesnt exist. So if my detector has a problem.. I sell it or give it to Goodwill.. - But i will give Quest a fair chance
Actually, they didn't win the lawsuit at all. This is pure BS on the part of First Texas. It wasn't them that dismissed the lawsuit. The judge in the trial dismissed it "with prejudice" which meant that First Texas could not bring the case again. No copyright infringement was proved at all. Both companies were also ordered to pay their own costs.
This is crazy news because I actually received a short message from the Former CEO Mr Jaso Deng and he said that the Law suit was dropped because there was actually No fraud found. The software was revieved line for line and indeed it was different.. So why is First Texas claiming they won the court judgement and that Quest was found to be negligent? I wish i had factual clarification on this matter because the detectors are very good quality machines
Joey, you have to be really commended for doing the research on the Quest detectors and every subject you do...You are spot on with First Texas and Made In America. As I've said, you, Calabash Digger, Scannerguy68, give informative unbiased RESEARCHED information to your viewers. (That's a lot of work). I'm wishing you the best for your channel to grow.
John this last one took quite a bit of research and studying to make.. wasn't sure if I wanted to do it because it might ruffle a few feathers .. crazy thing is I got a message this morning from "former CEO of Quest" who saw my video! and explained why the lawsuit was dropped and to watch out for the NEW line of models in 2022!
@@VegasDtech That's fantastic Joey. Good job. 👍
Calabash digger is so biased I no longer watch his vids. As far as I'm concerned he has destroyed his credibility by bagging brands he once used and talked them up only to strip them down once he got his hands on a newer detector. That to me is disgraceful.
@@toddclarke2348 Calabash Digger may not have the presentation you may like, but if you can give me an example of one of his videos that were biased in demonstration and results and not based on believing your own eyes and ears of what he just showed you, I may agree with you. The only thing I've seen are just the facts in his demonstrations.
@@johnbriggs5250 you clearly missed my point
Late to the party here but that was a really interesting video. I'm in the UK and am looking to buy a Q30 next because I've heard nothing but good reports on the Quest brand. It's always good to hear behind the scenes stuff but, at the end of the day, if the products are good, that's all that matters to me. Thank you )O(
So my made in Texas Bounty Hunter Pioneer 202 detector or the Tracker 4 I got for my nephew weren`t made in Texas?
prob the last twist of the arm cuff screws but assembled somewhere else... but packaged in texas.. yeah thats how it was looking before the courts changed the laws for (made in USA) labels
Have a Quest X5 coming this week. Hope I didn't make a mistake
I dont think its a Mistake at All! Quest makes great detectors at a bargain price!
Believe it or not I Have 7 Quest machines I really Like Them. They are Priced Great And Work Great I Leave the Other Machines in the Closet Most of the time
Interesting story, Joey. I wondered about Quest product invisibility in the US. Could be as simple as a coder who worked for the contract manufacturer (CM) that crafted some of FTP’s code, left and took the same coding IP with them to what now is Quest. Quest products look more up-to-date and feature rich than FTP’s offerings. I’ll watch for your Q40 review.
BTW, almost all of the electronic components in our everyday products come from China or Taiwan or some other Asian country. There are a lot of CM’s in those countries as well as Vietnam and Mexico that assemble, program and test the boards that go into said products. Those boards can easily be shipped back to this country to be assembled into final product for sale here. Unfortunately the assembly, inspection and test equipment is very expensive, and a lot of companies cannot afford to have that kind of equipment in house, along with all of the other supplies and personnel required to run the machines and produce their own boards, cost effectively. So the companies outsource. That said, the product’s origin on the label should be truthful.
Carl Morland from White's replied to allegations of chinese parts in their detectors and he stated that it has become virtually impossible for the company to buy needed electronic components from US sources.. They do buy resistors, transistors wherever they are available.. Where they're made he can't or doesn't know.. (CHINA) the dirty word nobody wants to say -
Yes, lots of people have come from FTP or other makers to work for a new company. Those people are the ones that know the code. First Texas has not come out with any new detectors or code since, and soon they will be out of business for not having a long term plan. The world moves on.
Quest are a brilliant company,the prices are great for value
I used X10 realy good simple detector, but after 3 years it started to miss the signal, i do not know what is the issue coil or issue on motherboard
No telling' My detector is the Q40 and although it is China made and not as refined as the Equinox or the Nokta Legend. It is still a very capable detector that has found me many pieces of jewelry. It might be time to trade up to the next machine yeah?
@@VegasDtech Same here: some gold found on x10 lot of silver. Yes, last week I have ordered new detector.
But in EU Quest is made in Turkey. My Quest made in Turkey.
So FT licensed the core software to quest?.
Hi Joey. I would like to know about Quest service. Please can you help 🆘
Jim I wanna be truthful.. Ive never had the need to call them.. I pray I never have to because the initial review was not a good look.. but im hoping they want good reviews so we can only hope.. But the Quality on my Q40 has been magnificent!
@@VegasDtech Thanks Joey. Have a great week!
Excellent video Joey. Love hearing about the quest. A lot of what you mentioned here I already knew I had read a couple of years back. They just came out a few months back with the new Quest X10 pro model which is ip68 rated waterproof, operates at 12 khz frequency. Just like the nokta makro simplex. It's got the front-facing flashlight. The panel lights up. And it's got the five by 9 Double D coil. All for $199. I have only seen one review on this metal detector and it's not a very good one the rest of them are all in Russian which I don't speak Russian so I can't understand what they're saying. And that review is from England. I would love to see someone in this country do a review on that little detector because I believe it is one Kick-Butt machine. I think I'm going to order one because I believe it's going to be every bit as good as the nokta makro Simplex for $50 bucks less.
for CEO of Quest left a comment and said to watch out for the new models being released in 2022 -
Wow .....great disclosure
CEO from QUEST DETECTORS "Maoquan Deng" commented on my report- cant believe my video landed in his lap..
Great review. Had always wondered about Made in USA logos. Noticed the China made MD 6250 is very similar to Ace250 among others...like the quest x10 pro.
Yeah for so long Garrett was dancing around with the Made in USA logos and basically 80% of the stuff was being sourced and assembled somewhere else. Vietnam' Mexico??? But the final step and packaging was being done in Texas and finally the courts had to put the NEW Ordinances in place .. and the certain guidelines needed to be met to stamp "Made in USA" on the box.. So now we all gotta Play ball - Thanks brother, - Joey
I’ve got the x10 pro👌
Is it good? I'm looking at getting one this week.
Teknetics and fisher.... aren't they affiliated as they are copied units of each other.
The quest v80 is awesome
I bought a fake teknetics t2, the strange thing is the motherboard inside have teknetics brand. Please teknetics i want some explanation, maybe you produce some md in china?
This is what I’ve tired to explain to people what do you think happens to these companies over seas manufacturing facility when they move on to new models or maybe the machines the make them expire in some way of course these people wouldn’t let a good factory go to waste and they want to keep there jobs and I think this is we’re the large clone market comes from
great informative video again mate
Thanks bro.. UK reached out over and over wanting this to be answered.. So i finally said what the hell. I got a deal on the Q40 but before reviewing the machine , I needed to inform people about why the Company isn't so popular in the States.. Now that its over I can now just enjoy using the detector to hopefully find stuff - Joey
O just got a heck of a deal on an open box deal from serious detecting on a quest q30. Can’t wait for it to get here. Love your videos.
I wanna try the quest q30 with the special gold mode
I see it has 2 gold search modes.. Wonder how that works because its the same frequency in all search modes. I see it uses a threshold sound that will modulate as you sweep across gold.. My x-terra has a prospect mode like this.. only used if you are in creeks looking for tiny gold flakes and pebbles
@@VegasDtech the specific mode is the one that gives the low grunt for ferrous response and then vco response for all non ferrous signals always wanted a detector with those properties all metal based with tone i.d think it’s called gen delta on the nokta makros?
@@treasurehuntingnewyork5979 What kind of machine do you use right now?
@@VegasDtech I use vanquish 440 and simplex and also a fisher f22 got a gold kruzer to mess around with and I’ve actually done pretty well with that too
Awesome video brother. After watching this it has helped me to know for sure that I don't want a quest detector. I was on the fence and seriously considering buying one ,but now that I know the brains of quest machines originally came from knocking off a degenerate texas based company I will probably choose something else ( perhaps the Nokta Legend instead). Do you concur with that decision? Or would you reccomend any other low price waterproof machine?I was looking for a high quality saltwater beach machine at a low price to hunt the shallow ocean water in Vietnam. Thanks bud 👍 keep up the awesome vids
you are wrong the Quest has come out better than any compared to its price here in the usa better than garret ace simplex vanquish etc it has better range and is cheaper and good quality and if you don't believe me take the test
I have hit a particular park in my area for 20 yrs started in 99 with the explorer xs. Explorer 2. The quattro the f75 the t2 the signum. Treasure mountain cobra etrac whites v3i with several coil options. And yet I took the little q30+ one day and we'll found 34 deeper coins and 2 rings so yes the quest machines are very good ps I forgot to mention several other units the deus and the blisstool
george very interesting what you say.You have quite a collection detectors.Nice.I am going to use your experience with the purchase of my next detector.
@@frank1fm634 the q30+ is a very good machine its an f75 but better. Use it in lakes its fully submirsable to 10 ft. Im currently testing /using the nokta legend. Which i believe with a few bug fixes will be a killer machine at $635. Not deeper or more sensitive than the q30+ just different its multi freq is interesting good luck happy hunting
If we pull up the raven from your logo at the end of the video are we gonna see a golden knights helmet? When I was looking to buy my first detector I looked long and hard at the quest, it seemed modern compared to the other detectors in its price range, Also With the rules about detecting here in Vegas more expensive machines are a little overkill Thanks for the info look forward to the review to see what I missed out on.
Review should be Saturday... Parks in Vegas dont need anything more then 7" depth. if you dig that deep and grounds keepers see it eventually you will get approached and told to leave.. cant screw around when you cut a plug. get down and up quick keep your back towards people .. leave no evidence.. - Raven logo is a Spin off of a Japanese logo i seen a fe years back - Joey
@@VegasDtech that I know Boulder City just banned detecting in parks due to damage to the ball fields.
@@stweasel Im not suprised to hear that.. Thats a very rich retirement community and those people see every little thing that happens there.. Parks are too small.. not allowed to feed the wild sheep that come down to graze on the ball field -
Good Point !!
found many nice rings with the Quest detectors.. they do the job just as good as any other brand ive tested - Joey
@@VegasDtech I must say I'm looking forward to the 80. That reflective screen is a simply brilliant idea.. as a lot of the time.. well for me anyway I would use it in the sunlight.
This is cool I'm been looking at quest x5 bout 2 years now $150
Such a good machine man.. great deal and Value recommended by so many people man.. its all im hearing is X5!
They do have a good branding going on I did get the qust 10 and I just use it often in the soccer sideline good for kids and new to the hobby now qust came out with a water poof 10 pro for $200.00 I think qust is trying to be a big player in the market keep the videos coming you rock
@@jeromealmorris1962 Thanks Big Jerome" Ex CEO of Quest detectors somehow seen my video Mr Maoquan Jason Deng" and actually told me that the lawsuit was dropped by First Texas after the Lawyers hired coders to inspect the software and it turned out The software was NOT the same... or enough of it was different to warrant No infringement was done.. I was blown away Quest got a hold of my reporting -
Now Minelab is suing Quest over the V80 and V60
I' think that quest must have there rights. I like quest v80 because of many reasons like multi frequentie tel 60 kh ik like quest they took big step and even minelab are not like quest in there tecnologie
what happens that they did not like that a cheaper detector than any other has come out better than those who thought they were better
Joey that little blue pill will help you with your collapsing shaft. Lol but seriously I had the q40 a few years back and you are on the money the simplex reminds me a lot of it.
Big Mel" Lol my collapsing shaft !! I set myself up for that one.. bwahh" ..Sat ill have another one to Officially review on this channel.. I hope this unit is not defective because all i hear is Quest customer care is absent ...
@@VegasDtech Man I had mine for about a year in my opinion it is a sold machine. The pinpointing really stood out to me as being spot on. Also you can swing it all day with out your shoulder killing you.

@@VegasDtech man that quest as a history..of Controversy..
Interesting
Industrial espionage has been going on since ancient times and why the tank and many other items get made in other countries and why project paperclip happened in WW2. And why Nasa became an idea too. A country that innovates and learns from others will always come out ontop. Hence partly why China it's a leading technology superpower. In part this is due to western countries cutting China off years ago. After working in China for 2 years I was happy to learn how nice it was there. The food the people the amazing technology it's a great country to live in too and I own a detector that I know 3 western countries are trying to get and rebrand.. it's just a matter of time.
Great video... Thank you very much.. But I still love my Quest Q30+... at the price it's brill... :-)_
I rather have something made in Malaysia any day Joey stuff that’s made and assembled in Malaysia I have a real good tax and their components it’s made in Malaysia or a lot better than any of this made in Japan believe it or not and I’m glad you told me that that out of my lab was made in Malaysia that makes me happy because I I rather have stuff I bought CB radios before Culver’s and they’re made in China and Taiwan them or to junk ones I’m I’m an over the road truck driver and I only buy the ones made in Malaysia the galaxies in the older cobras that says made in Malaysia or on the back then were the best radios you can buy when it comes to CB radios they have better components and they last longer
As long as the quality control is followed and warranties are honored, I really wouldnt care where its made. Not everything from china is garbage.. the no brand generic stuff is a gamble but Huge Corp have good QC and wont let their reputation get drug through the mud -
Find something else to comment on this is really interesting
If ure gonna try and get a Quest,go for the X30,thank me later.
Im new to detectors but not electronics. Every single IC, transistor, battery, motor, etc is ALL made in China
Joey great information I look forward to your next video, you are not the same repeat trash talking idiots. Subjects that have significance in the hobby not national enquirer news, bullshit talk accomplished nothing thanks

Better watch out.. China doesn't care about Intellectual property rights.. You contract them to make your stuff over there.. You can bet it will be copied and resold under another name for cheaper..
