6" coil recovery speed

[Goldstar1]

I have been thinking that with the smaller coil we might be able to lower the recover speed some and slightly increase the depth and target ID accuracy . I havent really had time to experiment much yet with this. Does anyone else have any thoughts or experience with this theory?

Recovery speed is really a detector vs. coil driven thing, but it is an interesting theory that should be tested because the effective coil sweep speed is likely increased vs. 11". To me, to make the lower recovery speed effective, you would really have to slow down the sweep speed which would not seem natural to me with that coil. But that's just me.

We buy small coils for better separation why dumb it down with a slower recovery speed.
