Recovery speed, what machine is best

[Terra (Mike)]

I'm interested in recovery speeds , it could influence the choice of what my next machine could be , from what i have researched so far , the Teroso/Laser range seem to win hands down , while other well known makes perform poorly.
Does it make a great deal of difference, to me its one of the most important aspects of a machine , one that can recover in 4" has the edge over a machine that recovers in 10" ........ or does it ?
Any experience out there

Cant comment on the detectors you mentioned as I have not used them but the Whites MXT has a fast recovery speed and works very well when fitted with the Eclipse Shooter "DD" (4x6) Search Coil on ploughed land amongst the Iron.I have puled out hammered Coins with Iron stains on them, just shows how good the recovery speed and sensitivity  of the unit is.

Hi Mike
To answer you question on recovery speed
Keywords "Fisher F75 recovery"
Coz i detect mostly local trashy areas a fast recovery was somthing i was after then i Bought the F75
Id have copied and pastes the write ups for you but there so many i wouldnt know where to start

I hear the Fisher F75 LTD is even quicker

Good luck on your search for speed ;0)

out the machines i have tried, i would have to say the xp goldmax power, its super fast, there was a debate a while ago about t2 vs f75 vs goldmaxxpower, i dont think there was a final difinitve answer as they are all pretty quick.
I can get a copper penny and wave it back and forth across the head of my goldmaxx as fast as i can and it beebs every time. I have never use the t2 or f75.

Hi Kaister

I was going to buy a Goldmaxx power after My Exp2 but i was scared off be the fact it wasnt a good beach detector
I know the f75 has got a bad press where thats conserned but after a web search and some help from club members who own one Ive got mine working very well on the wet stuff ;0)

Something that the Exp couldnt do and the Fisher can ...
I can place a coin less then 2 inchs away from a rusty nail and still pick out to definite targest and in disc mode i can even tell the ferrous from the non ferrous.thats on the surface or 4/5 inchs down
My Exp would sound like one large ferrous target.

Id go for fast recovery over depth every time

Don,nt like to say this  but the goldmaxxs  have the fastest recovery speeds  ;)the T2 /F75 / MXT are not far behind  though if anyone doubts this take a look on youtube the gold chain test between the ETRAC and GOLDMAXX POWER  also norfolk wolf fieldtesting the goldmaxx power on youtube 

[Terra (Mike)]

yeah i watched the norfolk wolf video's , the DFX didn't look good , but we don't know how he had it set up , thats the problem , yet the terosos looked fast

My views are more from observation than technical knowledge, but it does seem to be a fact that the more information you have the slower the recovery. ie the Tesoro, Cscope, and Bounty Hunter are the detectors of choice for hunting the Thames foreshore because they almost see through iron, next are the XP machines who give slightly more info in tones but are still great on iron contaminated sights,  some Whites are slower again because they are not only giving tone id but also a digital display then the Explorer series which do have the best tone id and display but are the slowest machines.
So it does seem to be the case that the more you get, the slower you have to work.

The e-trac is no slug, but to get the Best out of it, you cant rush it,(apart from anything else you'll get tennis elbow trying to slow it down at the end of the swing if you go nuts ) The recovery speed on that Deus that RJM has is very, very quick indeed.
