The Teknetics Omega 8500 was introduced in 2015 and is still in production. The Omega 8500 is a 7.69 kHz VLF metal detector aimed primarily at coin, jewelry, and relic detecting.
"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
