"The Patriot is a multi-purpose high-performance computerized metal detector. It has the high sensitivity and ground balancing control needed for even
the most challenging soil conditions, the discrimination responsiveness needed for serious relic hunting under difficult conditions, and visual target ID considered essential in searching for coins. The Patriot operates at 13 kHz for good sensitivity to gold nuggets and jewelry as well as to coins. The Patriot comes with a 11”DD Elliptical waterproof searchcoil for broad sweep yet narrow target pinpointing." Source: Owner's Manual

"The Omega has a unique control interface that incorporates both analog and touchpad controls; adjustments are easy to make with one hand. The Omega has three graphics that display information about soil conditions: Fe3O4 bar graph, Ground Phase number and Ground Error indicator. These indicators keep you aware of the ever-changing soil conditions, allowing you to keep your detector perfectly balanced to achieve the greatest possible target depth. If you hunt in difficult soil conditions, the Omega is for you." Source: Teknetics website

"Here it is. The finest all-around metal detector. DFX™ is simply unsurpassed in its ability to find treasure - older, deeper and smaller items that other detectors pass over. DFX™ brings together the ultimate combination of sophisticated microprocessor technology, and turn-on-and-go simplicity. You’re out and hunting right away, but there are dozens of adjustments available if you choose. White’s patented multifrequency method partners with the target I.D. you get only from DFX. “See through” minerals in the ground and detect coins, jewelry and relics other detectors miss. Hunt in 3 kHz or 15 kHz (the two best frequencies for finding treasure) or use both together for unequalled hunting. Choose Best Data and the DFX™ displays data from the most reliable frequency. Choose Correlate and questionable targets, including iron, are rejected. All happening automatically while you hunt! There are dozens of features that come together in the DFX™ to create the world’s best metal detector. It’s built on White’s proven digital platform, with the features that give you more flexibility to find it all!" Source: White's 2006 catalog

White's DFX control panel

• Multiple Frequency Operation. Hunt in 3 kHz, 15 kHz, or both frequencies simultaneously.  BEST DATA analyzes and displays data from the most reliable frequency. Used for: Parks, beaches, yards and most other general hunting. Correlate compares both frequencies and displays target info. only when both frequencies “agree”. Used for: Homesteads and areas where nails and other iron are bothersome.
• 4 EEPROM hunting programs. Use these Pro-designed programs or erase them and create, name and store your own custom programs.
• DSF™ Digital Signal Filtration. Change your ground filtering - use 2 for quick response in high-trash areas or 3, 4, 5, up to 6 to optimize depth in mineralized grounds.
• Sweep Speed Adjust. Use higher settings to move quickly through an area with few targets, and lower settings when you want to move more slowly through areas where you need to get in between trash.
• Hot Rock Rejection. A complete accept/reject range.
• 9 Turn-on-and-Go! Programs - ready to hunt right out of the box. Completely automatic, professionally engineered for high performance.
