Bounty Hunter Teknetics 4000 Delta Metal Detector

Great little metal detector, not the cheapest by any stretch but a very very good unit to break you in to the hobby. This was bought as a Christmas present for my daughter so she could come with me, I use a White's Beachhunter which cost more than twice the price. The White's takes a lot of getting used to but my daughter was able to use the Delta 4000 and out perfrom me in under an hour, this was on a salt water beach. I was gutted. Of course it takes a little getting used to before you can be 100% confident in what the unit is telling you but that is no different than any metal detector and to be fair this one is much easier to read than most. So what makes this so good? It has notching and discrimination which really help to cut out the junk, it also gives you a 0-99 number scale which is usally found on much more expensive units. If you're hunting a tourist beach then waving a gold ring, 50p and pound coin before you go will give you a solid indication of what numbers you are looking around to avoid digging most junk. Most metal detectors are set for US coins so being able to see what UK coins read as is a massive advantage. Depth wise this detector has no problems, when we were testing it found a quarter inch long piece of thin electrical wire 5-6 inches down, it had no problem fnding coins deeper than 6 inches. Again in wet sand. Downsides? As much as the preset ground balancing seems to work fine (you need to adjust the sensitivity to suit, I think this is where the reviewer on Amazon.com went wrong when he talked about salt water performance) it would be nice to be able to ground balance yourself. Basically this is adjusting the unit for the mineral content of the ground, this unit takes cares of it itself whilst most others require you to go through a simple balancing procedure. When moving from one type of ground to another, or starting again after laying it down the 4000 can go crazy for a few seconds but it does settle down quickly. The other thing is the pinpoint function. Unless you are working in a team with 1 person digging then it's not really worth having. By the time you've got up and down from digging to checking half a dozen times you'll really wish you bought a seperate pinpoint probe (http://amzn.to/1yqWtOt) Overall though a fantasic metal detector and I wouldn't hesitate in getting another one for myself, which is probably what I'll be doing for when we hit some fields later this month.

Great detector.Very sensitive.Can detect small coin 30cm under ground.

Questo MD è un ottimo entry level, l'ho assemblato in due minuti, acceso e via in giardino. L'interfaccia è veramente molto intuitiva, una cosa che ho subito apprezzato è la modalità pinpoint per localizzare esattamente il punto dello scavo(poi dovrò munirmi di un pinpointer perchè scavare e tenere il metal sono due cose mutualmente escludentisi). I toni sono precisi e consistenti, consiglio di partire prima a sensibilità minima, altrimenti si viene oberati da falsi segnali che poi con l'esperienza di possono gestire. E' conveniente impararsi la scala numerica che caratterizza i bersagli, e portarsi qualche oggetto di parametro, io ho usato un anello d'oro e il suo intervallo è tra i 46 e 60.

I thought i would a least wait to review the delta 4000 until i was able to hunt somewhere other than my own yard. i hunted my dentists office that used to be a house in a small town that was 50's 60's era. but the town has earlier history. this detector has settings that you would have to pay a lot more in other brand detectors like the notch setting- pin pointer-volume control - depth-sensitivity. the key with this machine is learning the coin numbers by doing air tests & then write #'s on a card to carry when out hunting to compare with the coin id at bottom & going by the higher tone coin sounds. if you use all 3 together it is almost always right. this detector does like dimes & cents. i found 4 dimes and 12 cents along with some old brass gas line fittings. i had less junk signals when i notched out nickels & all targets below it in the settings. this is a great machine that's easy to use but the more you use it the better you get using it and finding coins. i was getting deeper signals but because of old gas lines & where i was hunting i did not want to dig deep holes & leave spots in the grass so i stuck to just 4-5 inch targets. this detector tested 9-10 inches on my coin air tests in all settings.

Very good. I have used this off and on for several years. Found quite a number of lost coins, some gold rings etc. Fun past time for summer outings.

Ich habe lange darüber nachgedacht, welches Gerät ich als Einsteiger nehmen sollte. Nachdem ich mir dutzende Rezensionen und Tests inklusive Videos angesehen habe, bin ich zum Teknetics DELTA 4000 gekommen. Er ist für mich die optimale Verbindung aus Qualität, Leistung und Preis. Billiger geht immer. Er ist nicht so günstig wie verschiedene Billigangebote, bietet aber eine weitaus bessere Leistung und diverse Einstellungsmöglichkeiten, die sonst meistens nur von teureren Profigeräten geboten werden. Mein Fazit: Ein sehr gutes, funktionales Gerät, welches ich zu diesem Preis nur empfehlen kann.

I have been metal detecting for over 15 years and have used many different metal detectors from different companies including Whites , Garrett , Fisher , etc... I took a shot on the Delta 4000 for my wife and it is simply the best metal detectors I have used in this price point !! Many good features , very easy to set up and use !! The VDI is extremely accurate ! Pinpointing is also very accurate and it does get great depth as I have hit good targets at 8-9 inches deep. It's very light weight which is good for as I have a bad shoulder. You CAN NOT beat this detectors features and accuracy for the price !!!
