I had four (4) Omega 8000's, all version 4's, and they were all great Coin & Jewelry Hunting units. I also worked the Omega 8000 in some very iron littered town sites and homesteads, etc., and used the 5" DD coil to best handle the target masking, and they all worked fine. I had a T2 when I got my first Omega 8000 in March of 2010 and quickly favored it (the Omega) for most of my hunting over the T2Quote

I had an Omega 8000 and it was an absolute killer on coins. It was made for coins imo. (Much better than a T2 in my somewhat iron mineralized ground and I had more hours on the T2.)
I never had a E-Trac, but the 5 Explorer II's and one Explorer SE Pro I had could, on occasion and in the right conditions, get maybe an inch better depth.Quote

The E-Trac got around an inch or more of depth.
But I also hunted behind where I used the FBS units, and hunted with friends who use nothing but FBS models, and I always nab a lot of coins and other 'keepers' they have missed. And I didn't get tired doing it, either, with the excellent feel and balance of the Omega package.Quote

When I went back to sites I hit hard with the Omega, the E-Trac found just a teeny bit more (deeper).
Personally, I am not into the 'depth' topic as much as some people are, but I am into functional and performance, and knowing how well the Omega 8000 performed, then reading the manual and information on the pending 8500, it is on my MUST HAVE list. My 5" DD coil is just waiting for the Omega 8500 to be released, and I have four different mining town and railroad town sites I am eager to take it to. Some of the new features proposed are very appealing to me, such as adjusting the master Volume level, then selecting the Audio Volume desired for the different notch segments.Quote

If the 8500 has a boost mode, I really wonder if that gives it an extra inch or two (depending on your ground). Was an incredible coin machine to start with, with more depth, well, that might make it special.
I didn't have that compliant because I don't like the 11" DD coil, or the weight and balance, nor the 'fit' in the trashier sites I most often hunt. The stock 5½X9¾ Concentric coil worked 'OK' for me for general day-to-day hunting in typical open territory, but I found the round 8" Concentric to match or better that performance.Quote

My one complaint would be I strictly used the 11" DD coil and it is a bit nose heavy with that. Any balance improvements here?
