I've been playing around with the Omega 8500 some. My Omega 8000 version 6 is super fast, but my Omega 8500 in the deep '00' mode is blazing fast. I'm going to try these settings with the Omega 8500 the next time that I go detecting with it: Discrimination 0, Notch 0, Sensitivity 70, Tones D5, Deep '00', Volume for Iron -7, Foil -7, Nickel -7, Pull Tab -7, Screw Cap -7, Zinc -7, Dimes 10, Quarters 10. I sure like that the detector remembers its last settings when it's turned on.
Even though running the Omega 8500 in the super fast '00' deep mode is more sensitive to EMI with the volume tuned down on all but the dime and quarter ID segments, it's not all that annoying to listen to. Also in D5 Tones the deep '00' mode still gets good depth.
Using the super fast mode should unlock some masked silver coins.
Here's a video showing how all the modes work:
