Hi all, I have a question. I was wondering what would all you experienced xlt user's say a good recovery speed setting would be for a high trash area? Also what kind of recovery speed do you run in a area that's not so trashy? Thanks all and HH. (that is if your not snowed in like me LOL.)

You might try the XLT forum to get more answers but a recovery speed of 20 works in most conditions. In trash you will be better off to use a smaller coil and keep recovery speed the same. If you don't have a smaller coil you can try to increase the RS to 25 but a lot depends on what you call a lot of trash and your ground mineralization as well as your swing speed. In other words, experiment and see what works best for you in your ground and hunting conditions.

Just don't get carried away with adjusting too much either way.Been detecting with an XLT over 20 years. I hardly ever need to adjust the recovery speed.....Just my thoughts....Jack
Back when I ran around with the XLT, I kept it on about 27 or most all hunting. Whether junky or not. I found that if you tried to go much over that (like into the 30's), you ended up getting a double beep on shallow targets. And while I know the instructions tell you you can go deeper with lower speeds, I'm not so sure I agree with that. I think it's more like you simply HEAR the target longer, hence leading to less-of-a-likliehood you'll miss hearing it (hence the feeling of going "deeper"). But so long as you're adept at hearing quick beeps, then 27 or 28-ish worked for all hunting I did. I never felt I lost depth, yet had better target separation than the stock setting of 20.
