Has anyone ever compared the last crop of mostly analog detectors to the newer generation of digital machines, for depth? It seems to me that with the digital machines they have to be overdriven to accomplish the same depth as the last of the analog machines. I won't mention brand names as I don't want to start a war, but it just seems that with a machine that signals only in an "on" or "off" signal mode (digital) vs. a machine that can give you that subtle break in threshold on targets at the extreme edge of detection, the analog is still going to be deeper. Granted the digital machines are making it increasingly easier to potentially identify targets before you dig, but some of us are still trying to coax the most depth out of our machines, in those areas that have been hunted to death.
That's a real good question! I've also wondered about this topic and just might test some of my detectors on this one.
I have some older Tesoros that air test really well and now own a White's 5900 DI Pro SL that hits very hard on deep targets.
I would also like to hear from others that have done this type of test!
Thanks for posting!
