Hey all,
The analog forum may be a bit quiet, but it is not dead yet. Even more important, use of analog detectors are alive & well
! Back in 1998, I purchased my first detector, a Whites 6000DiPRO SL. There were a few digital models available, but at the time I felt the digital technology still had a ways to go. That old White's machine on the other hand has a long track record of being a proven winner in the field. As far as analog is concerned, it probably was as technologically advanced as it could get. It also has a lot of flexibility for different types of hunting, something that would cost a arm & a leg with a comparable digital machine.
Digital technology has come a long ways in the past few years, so I may replace my aging White's in the near future. But in the mean time, it is still doing its thing like it's supposed to
! Just yesterday at an old local closed campground, it gifted me with a 1909 Wheatie in very fine condition (+ 3 other wheat pennies), a 1920-S Mercury dime, and a 1925 Standing Liberty quarter, all in about 3 hours! I average from 15 to 25 coins a year that are 100+ years old - all from a town that's barely 100 years old.
In a future post, I'll show my last year's finds, including my first Barber half! Digital people move over, I'm right behind you

Digital people move over, I'm right behind youI've been using the 6000 series for about twenty years and now the XL Pro. I haven't found a better detector yet. I've tried most of the other models and other brands thru the years but the 6000's have always remained my main detector of use for my ground and my type of hunting. It's worked well for me hunting old iron infested ghost towns and logging camps along with cherry picking old silver coins from victorian lawns and parks.
Hi NorthCentral MN TreasureSeeker,
Up until a little over 3 monthe ago, my metal detecting experience had been limited to digital machines. Around the first of the year I bought an XL Pro and have been having a blast with it since.
This forum is slow but I think it is far from dead. The 6000 series machines and other analogs are way too popular for this forum to die.
My opinion ... Bob

We are out hunting even if we only find one cent.
LONG LIVE THE ANALOG DETECTOR NO COIN IS SAFE.
