Recovery delay

I know what recovery delay does, but I was wondering if you are modifying your programs what you have done with the delay. Most of the programs are running around 80, with deep silver running 100 and Hi Pro at 65 and Hi trash at 40. I've been working with the Hi Pro and was wondering about the shorter 65 target window with the Hi Pro program? Rob
 
I am still running the recovery at the stock 65 Rob. I seem to get along well with it. I know I could gain some depth and audio "roundness" with the delay increased, but for my kind of hunting, depth is not a major factor. I would prefer the faster recovery speed in the trashier areas that I hunt as opposed to a slight depth advantage. For those who hunt in worked out parks where the targets are few and deep, I could see the advantage of a slower sweep speed, lower filter selection and more recovery delay.
 
The way your showing the delay numbers, its telling me the higher the number, the more delay. Thats opposite of what I've been told on here. I was told smaller number, less delay. Still confused...if that was true, wouldn't deep silver have a low number instead of a high number??
 
Hey, I've found that a faster response is increasing my finds by a lot. C/J is really doing good things for me @ 74 or so. Behaving well and stilldoing well on small gold jewelry and most coins. Much better to have the search speed, rather than the depth, with a jewelry hunt for me. Pulling up low VDI jewelry well.
 
Recovery delay, the higher the #, the more delay. The lower the #, more recovery speed.
 
I think I'll just sneak up to 70. So Larry are you still running the 10K high or the 5k high? Rob
 
Great..I've been doing it backward :ranting:

Larry, I had just gone back to where this was discussed last time...I read it wrong...thanks for clarifying.......again!
 
Hey Downdeep,

There is also a mistake in the manual on page 36, The modulation numbers are backwards. 0 provides the most modulation, and 5 the least amount of modulation. I had Carl verify it. Rob
 
I turn mod off so that shouldn't be an issue with me. Though it does explain what was happening when I DID use it!!

Are they going to fix the manual and send out new copies??
 
Mostly 5 Hz Rob, but messed around with 7.5 a little bit. Didn't notice much difference.

aaahhhh !!!! thats why i cant get her to give those nice smooth sounds on good targets( i cranked mine up to 5 and was still miffed as i just get a beep instead of that nice smooth meow !!!) i love my xlt for the info that the sound gives and have been struggling a bit with the V3 on the sound front. will change my modulation to 0 tonight LOL..... I have also been messing with the recovery delay and to honest 100 is fine on the pasture lands i am teckin on. Good targets are sparse but are good when hit. The most interesting thing i have noted this weekend was the lack of depth on all targets found. everything found was at about 2-3" only which is odd as i was hitting targets out the same field last week at 8"+. I am wondering if the ground drying out over the last week may be the cause of this. (find it hard to believe that it would have that big an influence on teckin conditions !!)

all the best rob
 
Thanks for the replies guys. Rob
 
I experimented a little with the recovery delay at one of my sites.I usually run it at 70-75.Just for kicks using the 5Hz filter with the delay set to 90, Id get broken signals from +87 to -93 on very small corroded nails at around 12".
I really have no doubt the V will signal silver at these depths if I can just get my coil over them and the signal doesnt get broken from another target.
 
Thanks for the great info on this thread!
