Default Anyone have one of these

Hello all. I just bought a 2nd detector at an estate auction yesterday and wondered if anyone could tell me anything about it.
It's a Whites QXT Pro. It is still in an unopened box and I got it for a $50 opening bid. I think it is a discontinued model but from what little I've found it was a pretty good one.
Thanks

WHITE'S ELECTRONICS QUANTUM II METAL DETECTOR
By Joe Patrick
From page 15 of the September 1997 issue of Lost Treasure magazine.

Field Test
I quickly discovered that using the Quantum II was a “breeze”. The detector is very easy and intuitive to control and operate.
The site selected for my field test is a large field that has been used for well over 100 years as a baseball, “parade” and military drill field.
It has produced an assortment of items, as witnessed by many years of detecting there, but for some strange reason, it has never produced many coins.
I began by ground balancing the Quantum — which is super easy to do. I am glad that White’s did not design the Quantum with only a factory preset ground balance. I am certain that by letting each detectorist accurately ground balance to the ground they are searching significantly contributes to the Quantum’s smooth operation and high performance.
Findings
I find the Quantum II to be an extremely well designed and constructed easy-to-use detector that provides many top-end features for its modest $499.95 (retail) price.
It provides very good detection depth, discriminates well and its target I.D. is accurate. It is easy enough for a beginner or “casual” detectorist to use, but has enough performance, versatility and features for a “seasoned pro’” to use effectively.
In less than 30 minutes time, I felt as if I had been using this detector for years. It became an integral part of my detecting and did not get in the way of it, as sometimes a new detector can... until they are mastered.
The Quantum II’s workmanship is flawless and I just love seeing that red, white, and blue “Made in America” sticker on the control box!
Further enhancing the Quantum II, is an array of optional searchcoils and accessories to suit almost any detectorist, detecting-site or situation encountered.
In a day and age when far too many products are compromised to save a “buck,” it’s refreshing to see such high standards followed and implemented to such a degree!
I very much recommend the Quantum II for anyone who desires a high-quality, easy-to-operate detector with just the right combination of features and performance — this detector will not overwhelm you!
White’s as a company, and their employees, distributors and dealers all have much to be proud of, and the new Quantum II is just one more reason!
Sounds like this guy was impressed with it....well what do you expect, it's a Whites !! Other Detector Reviews can be found here as well...
