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!

All I can compare is the digital and analog fisher cz detectors. I've used the cz6, cz70 pro, cz7a pro, and still own a cz5 and can say it seems they all are about equal in depth.
I like the notch feature on the digital cz's but prefer the analog detectors because of the finer adjustments that can be made. All of the cz's are very capable coin hunters with excellent depth and solid signals on deep targets. There will always be a cz in my detector arsenal...............Roger

I would not agree with that statement on CZ's 100%. Some of the CZ-70pro CZ's you can not run the sens. over 4 before they start falsing. Where as every analog CZ I have owned you could run them wide open if the hunting area permitted it as far as low trash open area's,not heavy trash areas. And moderate mineralization. This tends to give you a little more depth.
