Product Description

The Teknetics Omega 8500 Metal Detector is an exceptional tool for metal detecting enthusiasts, offering a combination of advanced features and user-friendly operation. This detector is engineered to provide accurate and reliable detection in a variety of ground conditions, making it suitable for both beginners and experienced treasure hunters. 

Featuring a dual control interface with both analog and touchpad options, the Omega 8500 provides flexibility and ease of use. It includes intuitive soil condition indicators, such as a Fe3O4 bar graph, ground phase number, and ground error indicator, allowing users to quickly adjust to different environments. The adjustable backlight makes it perfect for low-light situations, while the waterproof elliptical search coil ensures effective detection even in damp conditions. 

With independent gain and threshold controls, users can customize their sensitivity settings for optimal performance. The Omega 8500 offers two operating modes—Discrimination and All Metal—tailored to different detecting needs. The Ground Grab® computerized ground balancing with manual override ensures accurate calibration to the soil's mineral content, minimizing false signals and enhancing detection accuracy. 

Additional features include a digital target-ID system for identifying various types of metals, multiple audio tone ID options for distinguishing between target types, a pinpoint mode with a depth indicator for precise location tracking, and a quick-switch mode control for seamless operation. Lightweight and powered by a standard 9-volt battery, the Omega 8500 is designed for long hours of comfortable detecting, making it an ideal choice for those passionate about uncovering hidden treasures.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is the purpose of the selectable V.C.O. base tone?

    The selectable V.C.O. (Voltage Controlled Oscillator) base tone allows users to choose from different audio pitch levels in all-metal mode, making it easier to distinguish between targets and background noise.

    How does the Omega 8500 handle mineralized soil?

    It includes features like Ground Grab® computerized ground balancing and ground phase error readout to handle mineralized soil effectively.

    How does the Omega 8500 indicate the depth of detected targets?

    It features a depth indicator that provides an estimate of target depth in inches, both in motion and pinpoint modes.

    How does the frequency shift feature help reduce interference?

    The Omega 8500 allows users to shift the operating frequency slightly to avoid electromagnetic interference (EMI) from other electronic devices or nearby metal detectors. This helps maintain stable operation in environments with high EMI.
    What is the function of the Ground Phase Error Readout?
    The Ground Phase Error Readout displays the difference between the detector's ground setting and the actual ground phase, helping users make precise adjustments to achieve optimal ground balance.
    Does the Omega 8500 offer independent control of gain and threshold?
    Yes, the Omega 8500 has separate controls for gain and threshold, allowing users to independently adjust the detector's sensitivity and the baseline audio hum for improved detection accuracy.
