Recovery speed, Depth, Separation - which is king in metal detectors?

A discussion about which abilities are most important in a metal detector

Good points. Stability is another key factor. Stability in highly mineralized soil and in EMI. We all want “deep” machines, but if the machine can’t separate or run stable, you can’t find deep targets.

I struggle with separation sometimes and interesting to learn that recovery speed may play a factor in that. I do slow my swing down in trashy parks but will also now take down my sensitivity. Now if you can expain iron filters to me ill really be appreciative!😅

For me the toss up between recovery speed verse depth it would depend on what your looking for clad and surface stuff or old deep silver.

I think It depends on location and what your looking for, a good location, halfway decent machine and a lot of luck works well for me . 🖖😬

Love the information you provide. I am looking to get into the hobby and would really appreciate any info as to which waterproof detectors you recommend as i plan to do beach detecting as well as field. After 28 years of walking thru metal detectors (retired prison officer) i want to have fun using a different kind of detector. Any advice on where to purchase would be greatly appreciated. I live about 3 miles from metro airport.

I think Depth is King! You just gotta dig most of all that trash (pull tabs) out.
