Omega 8000 vs AT Pro

iBuySilver · Feb 24, 2013

I found this post in the "Advice on Detector Purchase" But I already decided I'm going with the AT Pro..

I bumped the old thread for more info but no bites..LOL

SO I thought I would see if I could prompt a discussion on this topic...What do yall think "Omega 8000 vs AT Pro" ???? Water Proof not a factor.

Omega is an awesome machine. Hard to beat at the price if u don't factor water proofing. Only complaint with o8k is it is a noisy machine in any kind of EMI. Not sure how the at is in EMI.

Both very capable detectors. I thought the 8000 a bit noisy for my taste. The AT Pro liked gold better but is front heavy with the stock coil. I put the 8x5 DD on my AT Pro and love the feel it has become my standard coil.

Do you think the 8 x 5 DD is a better coil?

Of course "better" is a matter of opinion, but for me it is. Now, the stock coil goes a bit deeper, but the 8 x 5 is amazing on depth for the size. I've pulled 8" coins out of our city park with it. Other than the CTX 3030, E-Trac and V3i, the AT Pro is the only other detector I can still pull deep old coins with in this park. And that is with the 8 x5 coil. I also have the 4.5 but I pretty much leave the 8 x 5 on for all my hunting.
