Gary's Detecting forum > General detecting talk
Do you gain anything by reducing a detectors sweep speed ???
SuchMuch:
Small signals could be "swallowed" and you will hear almost nothing (even in headphones), if you keep swinging at high rate. Trashy sites are also to be hunted with the lowest rate.
Guinea3:
Interesting post, which has certainly given me food for thought!

I think I've seen the same bloke, or maybe it was his brother.
He's usually the one that leaves the rally within 2 hours of it starting, F'in and Blindin' that there's nothing there. LOL
Nigel is right ... "slow & low" ... but don't tell everyone.

Some years ago there was a chap at MMDC digs who used to swing his machine as though he was conducting the Berlin Phil. It went everywhere except near the ground. Never found anything of course and always complaining about that.

Isn't their a difference between response speed and recovery speed?
