[QUOTE="PhaseTech, post: 144987, member: 3149"] Okay, so I've watched some youtube videos of older analogue detectors, you know the ones that take a trolley load of batteries. One thing generally in common across a range of models is how sweetly they hit on a coin or ring. Also of note was how cleanly they blank out Iron. The modern digital machines have certainly added a pile of features, are a lot lighter and much more economical to run, but they seem to have gone backwards in term of their smoothness in signal and discrimination. My X-Terra 70 and CTX3030 are sort of a good blend of the old and new, but my Tesoro Bandido II umax is like a raging bull. Old school in appearance but as aggressive and chirpy as they come. Don't get me wrong, I like it a lot, I guess Im just thinking about detectors and it seems everyone (users & manufacturers) is chasing sensitivity and target separation, at a major detriment to the stability. Interested to hear others thoughts. [/QUOTE]
