AKA Selenium MFT 8956M

The Selenium MFT 8956M is AKA's pulse induction machine built for depth rather than small-target sensitivity. It works at low frequencies, between 100 Hz and 1 kHz according to AKA, which is the region used for pushing signals deep into the ground to find larger metal objects such as caches, containers and buried hoards. AKA aims it at professional treasure hunters and archaeological work.

The kit is unusually complete. Alongside the electronic module, AKA supplies a 17-inch mono coil on a rod and a 1 m by 1 m frame coil for wide, deep scanning, plus shaft, armrest, carrying case, coil protector and an operator vest. Power comes from a 13.2 V sealed rechargeable battery rated for about eight hours of use, charging fully in up to three hours. AKA quotes a 25 mm brass coin detected at up to 57 cm in air with the 17-inch coil.

Four independent detection algorithms are offered: Deep, Mineral, Sample and Urban modes, together with automatic ground balancing and metal discrimination. AKA also stresses that the controls are kept simple enough for less experienced operators. For Pakistani buyers searching for large deep targets in open ground, it is a specialist deep-search tool rather than a coin or gold-nugget machine.
