Deteknix is now renamed Quest. Same Chinese Company.
Detectors made by them in China.
Sales office in Calif. Europe distributor in the Netherlands, they are a multi-brand distributor.
Quality built, construction detectors unlike the other cheap, inferior China made detectors.

thanks
sven! with your knowledge and expertise in the field,i am 'shocked" that you would state that a chinese detector is a "quality" instrument! ..what could have possessed you to make such a statement? maybe having a bad day! we all do that's for sure! ..i'm just sayin'

Hey j.t.,,,,I had two of those quest machines . Sven says they are quality made, I agree with that. Very well made,very sturdy and actually good craftsmanship.. Not a bad machine at all when compared to what else is out there.. never saw a review of a Quest failing in any way shape or form.

I had a Quest Pro and was happy with it. I did have some coil issues but they replaced them at no charge. Yes they are made in China but they do have US contacts. The Pro performed very nicely but in my opinion is not as sturdy as my Simplex. I used mine submerged in the river quite a bit and did not have any leaking issues.

I have owned a few so I know the quality of Quest units. If they had a Garrett, Fisher, White's name on the side and said, Made in USA, everyone would be all over them.
Europeans don't care, they love them and are finding treasures. But, for a lot less money than the upper end Quest units, my choice would be to get the Simplex.

If you have a dealer near you check out the Quest units. Just to satisfy yourself.
I have a very experienced detectorist friend who has the newer Quest Pro, now for a few years. And also, has about 14 detectors of various makes. One being the Simplex. He loves the Pro and keeps the Simplex as a loaner.

Me and a guy I hunt with have the X10s. They are great detectors in every way. The X models aren't heavy duty. They're built as good or better than the bounty hunters. I have a Q30 (listed for sale in the classifieds) and it is built strong and has a great design.

Probably the same with every machine on the market

Bounty Hunter, Fisher, Garrett, Teknetics and Tesoro are listed online as made in America.
Simplex is a Turkish product. I have one of their diggers and it is very well made.
And my Minelab Vanquish is made in Malaysia. Nice to see China has some electronics competition.

I know this is an old post but......
Which quest pro are you speaking of, x10 or x30?
