I totally agree with you. Here in the UK I prefer analogue as well. CScope is an old British make. I use a Tesoro Cortes but my favourite is my old Arado 130. It is the newer version of the Arado 120B which I am sure you would love! You set the balance and listen to the gentle hum when you get a signal. You then look at the meter which NEVER lies - if it moves to the red it is iron. A few years ago using my Tesoro I found a signal I wasn't sure of. I had dug a few large iron rings quite deep so I thought it may be another. I actually filled the hole back in and went to the car. But something told me to go back with my Arado 130. I am so happy I did. The signal moved to the green - I knew it was non ferrous! I dug down about 16" and there it was. A socketed bronze axe head. Mint condition dated 800BC.

I used to detect in the 70s & 80s .. due to work and other things.. I sold my Fisher 1265x and C Scope.. I came back to the Hobby a couple of years ago and purchased a Digital Fisher ... I sold it after a couple of months.. I just couldn't get on with at all... I now have an old Fisher and Garrett.. I will now have a look at Tesoro.. I'm in the UK, plenty of clay soil where I live.. hard digging in summer!👍 😊🐕🧙♂️

Analog v Digital I'm in 95% agreement with your Opinion (drawing from your analog v Digital experience). I have been a Multi-Line Dealer since 1983 starting with Compass and in 1984 forward became authorized to sell White's, Teknetics, Tesoro, Garrett, Bounty Hunter etc. BEFORE becoming a Professional Dealer, I owned at least 15 Metal Detectors which I purchased from MY local Dealer (Ron, from R&B) who I would constantly bounce questions off of which established my foundation of understanding. My FIRST Tesoro was the ORIGINAL Cortes which was developed by Tesoro's founder and Chief Engineer; Jack Gifford (who worked for Bounty Hunter, Part owner of C&G etc.) The two popular Motion Metal Detectors at the time were the 6000 Series 1 and Bounty Hunter Red Baron. Jack who had his finger prints in the development of the Red Baron introduced his first Motion Model called the Cortes of which I still own. The advantage over the competition is that the Cortes could achieve its maximum performance without a FAST sweep needed to detect the targets beyond 4" and the sweep speed required was almost ultra slow. AND the Target Response was so Analog Smooth over the Coins and Rings, you just knew you had an interesting target worth going after. IN ADDITION, the Cortes employed the more common TR Disc Mode which I am to this day a big fan of and like both Modes, the TR mode was very easy to control the threshold (back ground hum) thanks to its well designed Sensitivity Control Jack engineered, superior to other MFG. Now, there STILL is one Mfg that incorporates Analog and that is Tarsacci out of Merced, CA. The owner, Dimeter Gargov, has over 25 years of engineering and loves to Metal Detect. While working for Fisher Research in Los Banos, CA. he developed the Gold Strike, Coin Strike and Coin ID. A few years ago he developed the all new Tarsacci MDT 8000 with a Patented Circuit (Adjustable Salinity Balance) utilizing a HYBRID Analog-Digital Circuit. Currently it is my #1 go to but so often, I'll take out and reacquaint myself Compass Coin Magnum, Tesoro Cortes, Aztec of Deep Search VII as they had their unique advantages. Anyway: Excellent Video ( I just Subscribed) and I'm happy to hear that you recognize the ALL-METAL MODE as it is truly the Best WAY to Discriminate using your Ear / Experience in going after desirable targets versus ones you want to avoid. Unfortunately Professor Calabash Digger has not realized this yet, as he doesn't use the most important mode in his 'Guess- Work' on his channel while hunting, Testing and Comparing.... the PIN POINT MODE.

Well, one thing can be said, you're not getting sponsorship money from Tesoro plugging these.

New to detecting and I used a digital and never even looked at the screen. I was just hunting for metal. Listening to the sounds. So i bought a beginner analog detector.

My thoughts about new versus old. I'm a White's guy since 1980. Detectors with sensitivity settings we all want to run them high as we can, So high we end up with overload and masking. It's hard to turn it down below the highest settings. Recently got a closet Queen White's MX Sport. The forums burned that detector, HOT as heil, way to noisy. The machine was built with internal sensitively settings starting high. White's went under, The thinking was the Sport was a failure. Being stubborn I watched many Tube videos, The People who were willing to turn the sensitivity settings down found a great machine. I also recently got a White's IDX Pro (Like new) (vintage, 1999) I had another one in 2000 as well as a 6000XL Pro. Compared them on a area which gave up Indianhead's, The IDX could see every coin the XL Pro got. The IDX can be run Max sensitivity for the most part. Silent search machine. Point being, the sensitivity of 8 on one machine can be way too high whereas an 8 on another is perfect. I believe the Analog detectors are more stable than digital. I believe if a person can bite the bullet and turn the digitals sensitivity settings down it will work much better for them. The markets, The forums are all selling DIGITAL and tell you analog is no longer good. Spend more than a $1,000, You get what I mean. That old IDX Pro is turn on and go and it's FUN. My 3 detectors now... White's MX Sport, A MXT all Pro and the IDX Pro. Got my best choices covered.

I own 2 Tesoros, an original Silver Sabre and an original square box El Dorodo. Both excellent! But there are other good analogs. The Garrett Master Hunter 7 is hard to beat if you can afford the batteries ;) The White's 6000 only has the problem that they left the back hoe out of the box ;) I'll swear that thing will find a BB at 9 inches ;) And if your coin shootin. they will never make anything better than the Fisher 1265X. 2 independent disc circuits right at your index will let you clean a park without bothering with the trash!!! The digitals have a hard time finding a silver dollar laying on top of the ground LOL!

I have some analog machines some I have tried and the Tesoro Tejon I have yet to try, you can still get them new mine is new, on the Rutus Aoter 71 there not very common here I had to order mine from across the pond, it is the Version 2 and that machine I have yet to try, i like most machines the only one I am having issue with is the Mikron NRG-150 I think it would be good for relic mainly. Nice presentation enjoyable to listen and watch.

Tejon is good but I didn't see much about it I liked over the outlaw or even the Mojave but an excellent detector. I love my Rutus and I have the latest version as well with iron audio. It's a highly customizable detector that works right out of the box with the stock programs. Here I thought I was pretty familiar with most of the European detectors but I've never heard of mikron. What kind of issues you having?

@@AllMetalMode the accuracy of the vdi, even on a planted target the numbers jump all over, the viewing window is very small like a half inch wide and two inches long, it is more like an analog with an unreliable digital readout, that's the issue with the Mikron . A surprisingly good machine is the quest q40 , I think nakta makro copied there basic design for there simplex. The ones I have yet to try are the Anfibio multi, Tejon, Alter 71 and a couple of vintage ones a compass & whites 6000 series 3

Analog detectors are not for me. My first analog was a Tesoro Euro Saber 2. When a colleague found a small gold Celtic coin, my Tesoro recognized not a gold coin, but only a "small iron". That was the end of Tesoro for me, and after many years I tried an analogue of the Bulgarian brand Deep Tech - model Varior. I'm sorry, but no, it didn't work, my best detector is a digital, Russian, Aka brand, Signum model. And my other favorite digital was the Fisher Gold Bug2. But everyone is comfortable with something different, and that's okay.

Ibonly started detecting in 2023, first detector was the sinplex, sold it for a legend, and now added a deus, so ive only used digital detectors Ive thought about picking up an analog machine, the cheapest one is the boutnt hunter tracker iv but im unsure if its even a good machine, ive seen other bounty hunters give foil a iron tone I saw some videos on the fisher cz21 and it looks like a great machine, but i dont want to spend $2000 on an analog machine, plus its meant for diving in salt water, not sure its be a killer in the parks i search

He tested the tesoro cortse he says that Every metal sounds the same lol if he would have tested it properly there is a switch at the front called the sum mode what has 9 different tones low for iron high for coins ect . Calabash is such a expert he would have seen the switch at the front of the screen.i wouldn't listen to him he spreads the most unreliable false information on detectors I have ever read ,he's basically full of shite
