Most first-time detectorists want to find something on Saturday. The Alpha 2000 is Teknetics' answer for the second group: preset ground balance means there is nothing to tune before the fun starts, and the machine behaves the same in the yard, the park, and the beach dry sand. Turn it on, set what you want to ignore, and swing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Alpha 2000\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSimple does not mean crude here. Multi-category notch selection lets you silence exactly the trash your park is full of, category by category, while customizable discrimination trims the rest. The all-metal motion mode opens the machine up for open-field hunting where every target deserves a look. A real digital target ID tells you what you are over before you dig, which is the feature that separates true detectors from toys. It is a full-size, full-featured First Texas machine made in the USA, in stock here while at least one national dealer currently shows it sold out. In our Greek-series ladder, the Alpha is the front door: step to the Delta for depth readout and three tones, the Gamma for ground balance control, the Omega for the full instrument panel. All four are on our shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpec\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAlpha 2000\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGround balance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePreset (nothing to adjust)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiscrimination\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMulti-category notch; customizable settings\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMotion discrimination; all-metal motion\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDisplay\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDigital target ID\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSearch coil\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWaterproof concentric\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBuilt\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTeknetics (First Texas Products), Made in the USA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlpha 2000 control unit and shaft with waterproof search coil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTeknetics factory warranty (First Texas Products)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHistory Seekers is an authorized Teknetics dealer with the full line in stock.

In unusually mineralized ground, a machine with adjustable balance like the Gamma 6000 goes deeper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs it waterproof?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe search coil is waterproof for wet grass and creek edges; the control housing is not submersible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAlpha 2000 or Teknetics EuroTek?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth are honest starters.
