We prove a quantitative version of Oppenheim's conjecture for generic ternary indefinite quadratic forms. Our results are inspired by and analogous to recent results for diagonal quadratic forms due to Bourgain [3].

Keywords: Values of quadratic forms, Diophantine approximation, flows on homogeneous spaces.
