• 3-Tone Audio ID – Different audio tones provide additional information about detected targets.

• Adjustable Discrimination – Allows you to reject unwanted target ranges and focus on more desirable targets.

• Notch Discrimination – Provides additional control over which target categories the detector accepts or rejects.

• Adjustable Sensitivity – Lets you adjust detector sensitivity according to ground conditions and interference.

• Preset Ground Balance – Provides simple operation without requiring manual ground-balance adjustments.

• Depth Indicator – Provides an estimated target depth on the LCD display to help determine how deep to dig.

• Large LCD Display – Easy-to-read display provides Target-ID, depth information, and detector settings.

• Lightweight Design – Weighing approximately 2.3 lbs, the Alpha 2000 is comfortable for extended detecting sessions.

• Simple Controls – Designed for easy operation, making it an excellent entry-level detector.

8" Waterproof Search Coil

The Alpha 2000's 8" concentric waterproof search coil provides a versatile combination of coverage and maneuverability. Its size makes it suitable for detecting in parks, yards, fields, beaches, and other recreational areas.

Because the search coil is waterproof, it can be used around wet ground and in shallow water. The detector's control housing should be kept out of the water.

Easy Target Identification

The Alpha 2000 features a numerical Target-ID system displayed on its large LCD screen. This gives you additional information about a detected target before you begin digging.

The detector also uses a 3-tone audio identification system, giving different audio responses for different target ranges. Using both visual and audio information can make it easier to learn how different targets respond.

Discrimination & Notch

The Alpha 2000 provides adjustable discrimination and notch settings to help reduce unwanted responses from common metal objects.

This can be particularly useful in areas where desirable targets are mixed with unwanted metal trash. Adjusting these settings allows you to customize the detector's response according to your hunting environment.

Preset Ground Balance

The Alpha 2000 uses preset ground balance, making it simple to operate without requiring the user to manually balance the detector for changing soil conditions.

This turn-on-and-go approach is especially useful for beginners who want to spend more time detecting and less time adjusting settings.

Lightweight & Comfortable

At approximately 2.3 lbs, the Teknetics Alpha 2000 is designed for comfortable operation during longer hunts. Its ergonomic design and lightweight construction make it easy to carry and swing across parks, fields, yards, and other detecting locations.
