Recovery Speed
The Recovery Speed setting alters how
quickly the detector responds from
detecting one target to detecting
another target.
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 good targets amongst larger iron trash.
The Recovery Speed setting has a range from 0 to 8.
Recovery Speed adjustment is local; only the current
Search Mode is affected by changes to this setting.

Settings Menu.
ADJUST THE RECOVERY SPEED
1. Navigate to Recovery Speed:
Settings > Recovery Speed
2. Press / to adjust the Recovery Speed. Changes are
automatically saved.
3. Press (
Back) to return to the Detect Screen.
CHOOSING A RECOVERY SPEED
A higher target Recovery Speed may increase the
detector's ability to find difficult targets, however it also
reduces Target ID accuracy and detection depth.
Using a lower Recovery Speed may improve detection
depth in soils with low mineralisation and may reduce EMI
susceptibility.
Using a lower Recovery Speed in soils with high
mineralisation may reduce discrimination performance,
making difficult targets harder to detect.

SWING RATE
A good general swing rate is around 2-to-3 seconds from
right-to-left-to-right. A higher Recovery Speed generally
allows you to swing at a faster rate without missing many
targets.
A higher Recovery Speed at the same swing rate will
help to reject ground noise, however it will also decrease
detection depth. If you are experiencing high levels of
ground noise at the beach or when detecting underwater,
try increasing the Recovery Speed to reduce the noise.
A lower Recovery Speed at the same swing rate will
increase detection depth, however may mix more ground
noise with the target response.
Varying both Recovery Speed and swing rate can help
minimise ground noise.
