The Teknetics Alpha 2000 was introduced in 2008 and is still in production. The Alpha 2000 is a 7.69 kHz VLF metal detector aimed primarily at coin, jewelry, and relic detecting.
"The Alpha metal detector displays target depth, Target-ID by category and has a 3-tone audio ID system. It also has a Notch feature which allows you to exclude one undesired target category. Volume, Discrimination and Sensitivity can be adjusted easily with plus and minus key pad buttons. This is a turn-on-and-go detector, easy and fun to use." Source: Teknetics 2014 catalog
