While enjoying some entertainment on another forum, I had a question arise. I have been running my Aquastar II as hot as I can stand. In the Gulf waters, I can run it with the pulse delay around 13 as long and the water is relatively flat and I don't get in too deep water (otherwise I have to increase the setting to about 20). I also use the Max Power setting and Receiver Sensitivity at 3/4 from full CC (which I understand to be 75% wide open) and SAT Speed at almost the slowest setting. At the same time, I have to sweep the coil fairly slow to keep from getting too much feedback from the saltwater. I use this technique to try and pick up the small gold stuff, but I pick up alot of other very small stuff too - like tiny pieces of iron, tiny hooks (can't imagine why someone would use these here), brads, etc. I am beginning to question my strategy and believe that I am wasting alot of time digging tiny stuff in an effort to get smaller gold items that may have little value or worth. By adjusting the Pulse Delay to an increased setting to around 25 - 30, will I eliminate these tiny items and still keep the great depth and sensitivity for rings, etc? How will the increased pulse delay effect the detectors overall operation and effectiveness? At what Pulse Delay setting will I begin to lose depth and sensitivity to gold objects like rings? Is there another setting approach that I should consider rather than increasing pulse delay?
