Reactivity setting and depth

[Hello]

From what i can make out the faster the recovery speed the less depth, so running reactivity at the lowest setting will gain more depth.How much more depth do you think you would get compared to the highest setting in normal ground conditions ?

That is the prevailing wisdom on reactivity, but I can't offer up a guess on the amount of depth loss. It will be a good test to perform once we get our hands on them.

also said in one vid that upping reactivity upped EMI so like all detectors it has limitations and so just remember to keep the feet on the ground after all that's where they will be .......

Running a slow recovery requires a slower sweep....... sometimes a fast recovery and slow sweep might get more in the pouch......much like reducing your sensitivity.

On the old whites xlt whipping the coil fast got you more depth.

I don't think even the slowest reactivity will bring you down to the speed of the etrac....

The Equinox has 3 i think extra reactivity settings above the Deus .
I would think the fastest settings would be for Gold settings or some European sites looking for Hammereds and Roman/Celtic and Saxon in Iron .
On the beach and most park sites you wont need high settings i think .

If you use a low freq setting or on another machine like the Terra a low freq coil then you would use a lower reactivity to keep the depth , i would use 4 to 6 with Multi but then i will have to get my hands on 1 first and see. I mean to use mine hot.
