The modern 1N60 is the absolute best for low level AM detection in terms of sensitivity. Hugely better than OA47 or any signal Schottky. Obviously there is an upper frequency limit and it has more leakage than 1N4148 etc. The current ones don't use the same package or process technology as the 1946 version.
Also works as a pair used in FM detectors, but the PIV can be exceeded. The silicon 1N4148 is fine for most FM detectors that use two diodes.
The lab I had tested many diodes for a beacon RSSI application to set RX agc and TX power on a full duplex radio link.
