V question

[pax]

does the V have fast recovery speed?

 

[SpiritRelic]

Very fast.VCO all metal also. :-D

It is extremely fast as is my Compadre, and I tend to gravitate towards units like this because I sometimes have a nutural tendency to swing a little to fast and they are more forgiving in this area.
Once I was in a park trying to cover a large area just before leaving, the disc was set a little below foil and I was actually pretty much running and swinging my large DD coil very fast just looking for one last "Hail Mary" signal to dig before I left because I had not found much that day and wanted just one good thing to end the hunt.
I will guarantee that you would have been rolling on the ground laughing if you were watching me and how fast I was moving and swinging that coil.
Everything I was doing was absolutely and totally wrong, but you know what, it worked!
I actually caught and heard enough of a piece of a nice solid signal that it made me stop to check it out, and it turned out to be a decent size 14k woman's wedding band that disced out a little below zinc.
Very lucky, I know, but I am convinced that without that large coil and the speed of my Vaq I don't know if I could have found this thing at the speed I was moving with many other units or coils on the market.

Now that being said, I have had many hours with both my Tesoros and I also tend to go back to some of my usual park sites over and over and in time discovered and realized something.
As fast as these units are, and this probably goes for most others on the market for that matter, when I returned to some sites that I thought I had thoroughly cleaned out, by using the same detector and the same coil and by even going in the same direction, when I slowed way down, and I mean so slow it was hard for me to do, the site came alive with many, many more targets then I had thought possible.
Not just trash but good targets, too.
This is especially true in the trashier areas I like to hunt like around picnic pavilions because of masking and multiple close targets, but it could be true in even the less trashy wide open areas, also, and definitely when we are talking about very deep targets which might take a split second more to capture and lock on.
Fast recovery times, good target separation and all that are great abilities to look for and have in any detector, but combine that with good hunting techniques and there will be very little that will escape your detectors notice.

Very well said.
People don't want to understand, the slower you work the more ground you cover. I included.
It took me a long time to brake my bad habits and work the ground I stood on. There is plenty of time to work the rest.

I found a silver Mercury Dime at 6" deep, that was actually touching a square-head nail laying right beside it in the hole. The Vaquero is one of the most underrated coin and jewelry shooters on the market, and probably has better seperation and recovery abilities than machines costing twice as much.

I don't mean to jump this thread, but just to prove a point and as long as we are talking about speed, this is the result of 2 successive hunts I had on a very small plot of grass between 2 basketball courts that I found last August.
This was a learning experience and the best 2 days in this hobby I have had to that point.

I had scanned this area in a previous hunt, I was using a detector with a larger coil and I did find lots of clad and a piece of a silver cross.
This area was loaded with trash of all kinds but mostly tabs, screw on bottle caps and sports drink foil inserts and the caps themselves.
I returned a few days later armed with a sniper coil and proceeded to start at one end and dig every signal I came across, but the real key to these hunts is I went really slow to acquire every signal that I could.
That day I found a gold ring so nice I eventually had it cleaned and re-sized and I am wearing it today.
A few days later I came back and proceeded to continue cleaning this area from the spot that I ended at on that last hunt, and this day I found a bunch more trash but also 2 more gold rings.
This was not a large area at all, but it did take me several hours to cover it and try to do the most efficient job that I possibly could.
Well worth it in my opinion, and now I have some memories that will last me a lifetime.

I just had to have a major surgery. A week before, I bought a new ID detector to lift my spirits.
Having only a week to play, I did what I always do with a new detector and that is chose a place with a lot of trash and see just how and what the detector tells me in relation to what is really there. On the third day I chose a school with a full size soccer field. I picked a 10 x 10 foot spot about 20 yards from the goal post and dug in. Luck (?) was with me and 1 1/2 hours into the session, out pops a beautiful 14K ladies ring. That really lifted my spirits.
