Reading from the Equinox manual, which everybody has studied in detail and reread several times ..... or maybe not
.... it says"By increasing the Recovery Speed, the detector is able to better differentiate between multiple targets that are close together. This assists in high-trash areas with finding smaller desired targets amongst larger iron trash."
It then goes on to say
"While using a higher target Recovery Speed may increase the ability of the detector to find difficult targets, it also results in reduced Target ID accuracy and less detection depth"
I expect most experienced detectorists would know the gist of the above.
But how many of us actually change recover speed during a session?.
As an example we all get deep "iffy" targets, but I doubt if any of us change the recovery speed to a slower setting in an effort to get a better TID (or sound) and use the extra depth the slower recovery speed produces. I certainly never have.
Very occasionally I have increased the recovery speed where I know there is a lot of trash, and a very few times slowed it when trying to get the last inch of depth on an area that has been done to death. But these are very rare cases, and certainly not mid session.
What setting do most users use, and how often and why do you change from that?.
