The OKM Pulse Nova Omega is a pulse induction (PI) metal detector for deep targets, natural gold and heavily mineralized or saltwater ground. It ships with two waterproof coils, a 38 cm (about 15 in) for depth and coverage and an 18 cm (about 7 in) for small gold and tight spots, and runs from just two knobs. Made in Germany by OKM.
Key Features
- Pulse induction - handles mineralized soil and saltwater that trouble VLF detectors
- Two waterproof coils - 38 cm and 18 cm bifilar mono coils for shallow water work
- Depth up to 3 m (9.8 ft) on large targets in good conditions
- Two-knob control - sensitivity and volume, no display to learn
- Audio feedback - built-in speaker or the included Bluetooth headphones
- Telescopic rod with adjustable armrest and attachable LED flashlight
What Affects Depth
As with any detector, depth depends on the target and the ground: larger objects, larger coils and targets that have been buried longer all read deeper, while the target's shape, position and the soil layers affect accuracy.
