Settings And 4th Hunt

[Chase Goldman]

The Equinox is designed to be operated near the middle to top of its recovery speed settings.  In the manual, ML actually describes how higher recovery speed settings result in less ground feedback noise.  Not only does this improve target separation in dense trash, it also lowers noise which increases relative depth and also makes iffy junk target signals stand out better, as you experienced.  A lot of folks, latch onto the fact that theoretically, lower recovery speeds increase detection depth.  While this may be true under ideal circumstances (no trash, no mineralization), the fact is that real world detecting situations typically encompass more challenging conditions where the advantages of high recovery speed outweigh raw depth capability and the result is increased "relative" depth for the conditions at hand.  This means that the Equinox with high recovery speed and the advantages of MultiIQ can beat slower depth monsters like the CTX at their own depth game when the site is trashy and/or ground conditions are less than ideal.  So generally, you should try to run the Equinox at the mid or high recovery speed settings.
