Nobody reads this far down...what are you doing down here?
Well done! It really helped me become reacquainted with my Delta 4000. I'm anxious to get back out and give it a try. Thanks very much.
Thanks! My pleasure!
If you already own this detector and are considering upgrading. Before spending 500+ on the upgrade, look at CORS Strike coil for this machine. I added one to mine for about 150.00 and absolutely love the performance. I have gained a lot of depth. I found a small caliber round ball that my stock coil missed.
Two years later???
Once I heard you say you were in Colorado, I was hooked. The soil here is so iron rich that this detector is always going off. At my parents ranch up in the mountains, it's even worse. I can drop a magnet and it comes up covered with bits of iron and iron rich rock.
Thank you for this video, very illuminating.
I've had mine for about 2 years now. Where I hunt seems to have lots of iron "bits" in the ground. Have tried the A1 and A2 but it about drives me nuts with all of the chatter. After watching this I will have to try it out again and just deal with it. I never realized how much more depth I could get. Thanks for posting this. No matter how much you learn about this hobby there is always much more to learn.
Jeffrey Jones My pleasure Jeffrey. Glad I could help. Its a great machine for the price. Never used it in iron but it makes for a good park and school hunter.
bought this machine last month and I've been playing with it, going out in the am on an old settlement and I got to tell you this video has showed me a lot about settings. thanks
My pleasure. It does the job for sure..plenty deep and fast to find the goods. Best of luck with it!
Thank you for the response. I have been metal detecting for over 35 years and now I am starting to understand the differences in frequencies and how the detectors actually work. The detectors with multiple frequency adjustments cost more and worth more if you are a serious detectorist. I just like to go out for the exercise and the thrill of finding something. It amazes me that you can search over and over on the same area on different days and still find things. Wow, I better quit now or I will use up all the words in the English language LOL. I always wanted a detector since I was a kid but could not afford one. Now I have a TR (these are cool but tricky to use)..found a three cent piece ON EDGE (1875????? someone lost it after I showed them ....how convenient) on an old carnival ground at about 2 to 3 inches with the Compass 94B Yukon. Also in my armory is a Tesoro Compadre (unbelievable for the price) but has a fixed sensitivity and a frequency of 12 kHz and a Garrett GTAx 400 (freq is 7 kHz)...that is a nice detector. There is no end how much you can learn from this hobby!!!
A very good review Hunter. About 1 year ago I won a Vibra-Tector 740 on youtube. the rivers in eastern NC are too murky to see in, not clear at all. I was able to trade it even for a Delta 4000 in a pawn shop a few days ago and I love it. Your video has helped me a lot. Thank you!!
Right on Jerry! Glad to be of service my friend! Delta is a great detector. Tons of options and performance for the price.
Thanks for the review. I got a lot out of your review, you cleared up a lot of questions I had about the Delta 5000. Thanks again.
My pleasure to help. Thanks for watching and commenting.
The Delta, to me, has the best looking control box out of all the frat bros machines.
Great job as always, my friend.
Thanks man. I'm partial to the Alpha and Gamma looks myself. I like the solid black look. Rugged looking - almost military or industrial like.
Old video i know, but i've found something interesting to note about the delta 4000. Recently i purchased a used but like new delta 4000. It is an early model manufactured around 2009, this machine does not have the A1 or A2 modes. I cycled through the menu for an hour trying to access A1 or A2 before finally realizing that this detector simply does not have those functions. I've looked all over the net trying to find information about these early deltas but nothing in detail is really out there. I am disappointed that this machine has no A1 and A2 functions, but, obviously teknetics did not offer this on the earlier machines
Any opinion on Tesoro? I have a used one that seems to work well and noticed the Compadre on Amazon for $162 and lots of 5 star reviews and comments about it finding good coins, etc. That more expensive detectors missed. Also, Tesoro gives lifetime warranty and mailed me a new battery compartment free of charge even though mine is old and bought used for S80. Great customer service
Tesoro has recently gone out of business. They fired all the production employees (some of which went on forums and vented in anger). Other than that....I think they are good machines. I'd like to get my hands on a nice Vaquero.
Thank you so much! Finally I can enjoy my delta 4000
My pleasure - always glad to help! Thanks for watching and commenting.
Four years later???
My family are all (garrett) heads hahaha I started out with a Garrett ACE150 then a 250 now I use a AT Max. But if I was starting out right now I would definitely try the 4000. Looks like a nice light easy to use outfit with a few features. I know guys that have it really like it.
Yeah it is not talked bad about very often. Just about everybody who has one states how much they got along with it.
Nice machine. That has awesome recovery time. I am not sure which way to go when I outgrow my Bounty Hunter. But I will definitely be looking in your direction when it is time for a detector. (soon I will be asking about pinpointers. I am tired of the crap I have been using and don't particularly care for the Garrett. )
It's a great machine. The new version come with a screw in coil for better coil compatibility with the rest of the Greek series coils. Let me know if I can be of any help. You know you to contact me! :)
Thanks for another great review, I love the performance of these First Texas products. I really like how the key tones vary when adjusting the volume on the Delta 4000, something not found on my ETP.
I have noticed that some brands/models don't adjust the volume in real time while in the menu. Only after you make the selection and hear the ID tone is it adjusted. Should be standard for sure. Thanks for the support Bob!
Teknetics Minuteman vs. Delta 4000 which one is better?
Sweet! That thing is fun ain't it? The weight is crazy light after a little time slinging that AT Pro around. The DD coil is the way to go tho. Thanks for another great vid Hunter GT. HH and ATB
Yeah it sure is. Thanks for letting me review it and use it man. Been swapping the coils with it and the LRP - good fun both of them. I'll get it back to ya asap!
Thank for this good video, I am come from Québec, Canada and I belive to buy a Delta 4000 for try in my country... bye
Thanks for watching from Canada! I appreciate your support. Delta is a great machine and you will find the goods with it.
I don’t know if you’re still replying to this video since it’s kind of old, but what does gold show up as on the screen of the metal detector? Can you accidentally take gold out and not realize it
Gold will show up from foil to zinc range. As long as those are active on the screen it will pick up gold. You must dig most trash to find gold.
Ty for sharing I just received one of these
My pleasure. Enjoy your new detector. Great machine for the price.
Another Awesome video Hunter! Very informative. When it comes to the First Texas machines... you're the man!!
Thanks smokey I appreciate that my friend. Guys like you keep me going man. Only a handful I have not used yet - hopeful to have the entire Fisher/Tek lineup under my review belt someday.
Thanks, I really enjoyed the video. Can you suggest a setting on the delta 4000 that would work best for finding a gold men's wedding band recently lost in mowed grass approx 4" long. Thanks
4" long?
Did you ever find the hamfisted one's band?
For jewelry accept foil on up. For fine gold/thin chains accept iron, and dig what comes iron/foil on up, or all metal mode for nuggets, and dig every thing.
@@bleirdo_dude Hey, yea I found it. Thanks
You always do the best most informational videos i enjoy your videos thank you for doing them.
My pleasure man! Thanks for watching...I appreciate it.
You and Mrs. Hunter rock
Not as much as you Zimmyman!
Wish i was back in Colorado i would love to meet you and go ground pounding together i lived in Limon
We just drove through there a couple weeks back on the way to Denver!
Will it pick up gold nuggets and if so what would it read
It would have to be a decent sized picker for it to hit on this one. A small nugget will usually read foil range...perhaps even iron range if very small.
TheHunterGT thank you for the response I just purchased one
It's a really nice device. For luck I found someone that imports them to Europe. Because here you have the luck to find very old things from the time where America wasn't even discovered.
Minecraft Vadder Very good detector for the price. Best of luck with it! Would be a dream come true to detect over there.
TheHunterGT If you ever want to come to Germany and detect some things (very nice things to find here), here is a tip: First come to Bavaria. It's the only part of Germany where the state doesn't take your things away when they have a very big worth. If you find something that is worth a lot of money on another guys property and the owner can't be found, you get 50% of the worth and the owner gets 50%. Its better to ask before you start, too. It's better to ask the local farmers or property owners if you are allowed to search on their fields or in their forests, almost everyone says yes. Because there are some people that will get mad if you do it without permission of the owner. Good luck and have fun ;)
There (seems) to always be an inherent problem though, when notching out items. The recovery speed/response time suffers. 'TheHunterGT', do you find this to be a problem with the Delta 4000 ?? Thanks.
Prairie G I have not noticed that with any Fisher or Teknetics detector. I'd have to test that and pay attention to check it out.
Great video and illustration Thanks HunterGT :)
Thanks Amber! Appreciate your constant support!
I have the 4000 love it they do make other coils
They sure do. Any push in coil for the EuroTek (non-pro) and the Land Ranger Pro will work.
I just ordered a Teknetics Delta 4000 last week so it's in route..what about a smaller like shooter coil for it, know of anything?
Teknetics makes a 5in coil that will work. Check to see if the coil connection is push-in or screw-in once it arrives.
Screw in type..
@@Marinesniprx Nice. Early models were push-in. So with the screw-in type you can use any coil in the Greek series. Plenty of aftermarket ones from Nel and Cors as well. I would grab a 5in round or a 5x10. Both work very well in trash.
bit.ly/347q5Ce and also bit.ly/2selDEp If you order make sure to use code A1474 😎
Nice machine! Air tests are OK but how is it on wet sands of the beach (salt water). What size is the coil that is standard?
8-inch concentric...says so at 2:25 in the video. It's a single freq VLF...it will not do well on beaches.
Hello hunter I'm looking at the delta 4000 and land ranger pro what one do you think is the best ?
I much prefer the LRP over the Delta.
@@thehuntergt lrp it is then thanks
I need help. Please write how the A1 mode differs from the A2 mode. I don't know English. If you write to me, I can translate in Google Translator.
A1 has more default sensitivity, about an inch more on a coin-sized object, but
will sound off over more highly mineralized ground.
A2 is more tolerant of ground conditions, but will be less sensitive over less mineralized ground. The two modes also have different audio characteristics.
A2 will provide better target separation, as the sound covers a “tighter” area as
you cross over a target.
@@thehuntergt thank you very much! I wish more views on your CZcams channel, and interesting finds under the coil) sorry for my England
@@user-zm3dx3gj7o Never apologize for that. Thank you for the kind wishes. You as well.
It’s possible to find any kind of metal whit this one? Like gold? I went to a shop and they told me doesn’t work to detect gold..
It will hit a gold ring no problem...clear to 8 inches. For gold nuggets and gold prospecting....no...get a different machine if that is the goal.
Thanks for the video. I have a Delta 4000. How deep have you ever detected a 70 or above signal? I have a two foot deep hole in a Sandy Beach area. And still haven't found the target? I need to return with a bigger shovel.
I did not use this one much after review video since I had the T2 already. It will go 7 to 8 inches on a coin sized object in many soils. Whatever it is at the beach is going to be big. Might be a can...but hope it's treasure.
@@thehuntergt more than likely it is hurricane trash. But it is still fun digging.
@@jefflogue4884 I found myself three feet down right in the middle of an old wagon wheel rim once. I was like "Why am I suddenly loosing the signal three feet down?", then it hit me how a detector sees surface area.
HI hunter clan,my delta has new controlbox,with id number scroll when switched on and relocated coil socket for easy coil changes.works great with DD coil and has similar depth to my g2+. horses for coarses. HH ATB GL
Right on Sean...glad to hear it is working out for you. Delta is a great machine for the price.
hi,just a big tip for comfort if your tall,put the armcup up to its last stem hole,you have to remove plug on top of the stem,its push in,but what a difference after a few hours swinging the coil. atb hunter clan
Thanks for the tip Sean...I do have all of my detectors set that way being 6ft. ATB to you as well.
i wish u could have shown the screen at same time u did air test
What number are you reading for gold rings, necklace?
Foil to zinc penny range....all detectors are this way.
neat little machine. reminds me of my old f2
I never got to use a F2 or F4....I hear they were alot of fun though.
TheHunterGT I found a TON of coins with my f2 before upgrading to my f75. I just never found anything over 6".......the f75 on the other hand, bring backhoe.
Another great review Hunter!
Thanks man!
another great review hunter, thanks
Jeff
Right on Jeff...thanks for watching man!
I've learned to much from watching your vids to stop now. I felt like I knew what I was doing first time out with the new F44.
Jeff
Hey Hunter between these two the gamma and the Delta which would you choose also I tried using your code to get the tek pinpointer and it doesn't work
The Gamma is by far the better detector. It is closer to the Omega than the Delta. Not sure what is up with the code, what was the issue with it? Was there an error or anything? Should be $129 if entered correctly.
Could you recommend the best mode to hunt for a watch lost next to a wire fence?
A watch should bang pretty hard in any mode. Just don't notch anything out.
Is it possible to replace the Delta standard coil with a Bountyhunter 11DD coil ? And not lose any benefit from the 11DD coil?
Yes, as long as it is off a 7.7khz machine and has the same coil adapter type (push-in or screw-in).
@@thehuntergt Tnx! What's youre opinion by the way on the Bountyhunter Titanium Camo? I can get one for 150 Euro. I now use my trusted Eurotek Pro and love the machine. Real American made quality it works verry well. Is the Titanium Camo a better machine reading some reasonably well reviews aboutit? I will always keep my tek pro and probably be my primary machine for a while but need a good backup. I love youre video's by the way! Greetings from the Netherlands!
@@renedevries4582 Thank for the kind words! It is a good machine...but would be a step sideways and not upwards. As a backup, I would say yes...as it is very similar to your ETP and runs the same 7.7khz. I would not consider it an upgrade however.
Hey hunter I found a kit in ebay that comes with 2 coils will this delta coils work on a bounty hunter lone star pro
Depends...early Delta had push-in....later had screw in. Ask the seller what version it has if not listed.
Great info, thanks for sharing
My pleasure. Thanks for watching!
Will it pick up platinum? Thanks!
Yes for sure. Almost all detectors will.
Turn down sensitivity...cant tell whats beeping...😂
Hello! It's Trapper😁 Why don't you do some tesoro reviews?
Be more than happy to if you (or they) ever send me one!
I am thinking about getting one of these and so it happened that I found a place via the Internet called Warrior Dwarfs that's selling it for $133 w/free shipping! Does anyone know if this Dwarf's outfit is legitimate? (Supposedly they're based in Colorado.) I'd call them but they're not open at this hour. I'm an old geezer at 64 and so I'd like something light and not too expensive or complicated so I can check out some areas here around Reno, Nevada. I also saw a youtube video a little bit ago of the Minuteman detector by Teknetics and wonder which of these two detectors would be best for my needs as both have gotten high praise by folks that own them. I thank you for your time and comments, if any.:-)
I lived in Colorado 18 years and never heard of that company. It does not sound legit at all. I personally prefer the Minuteman over the Delta based on recovery speed and trash work.
@@thehuntergt Thanks for the reply! After I posted here I tried contacting them but had no luck getting through with the (phony?) phone number and the email form I filled out to ask some questions fired back that it wasn't working. Grrr. Thus, I decided they were probably bogus and so I ordered a Delta 4000 from Walmart and will have it in a few days. I probably should have gotten the Minuteman but, if I'm not mistaken, the fellow I talked to at Teknetics (right before I ordered from Walmart) said that machine has a steeper learning curve than the D4000 (though he might have been talking about the Patriot, as I was very tired at the time...). I'm looking forward to getting the machine and at least get some fresh air and exercise even if I don't end up finding the mother of all gold nuggets like I'd like to.:-)
I always read downnnnnn...lol
great info !
Thanks!
howdy.great vid.hh and god bless!
Thank you!
What is the best mode for a white gold ring?
All the modes should hit a white gold ring as long as no notches are set.
TheHunterGT ok thanks...ive been trying to figure out how to minimize the metals it detects so i can actually focus on finding the ring lol
anyone know a fix for the software bug?
I think only the factory can fix an issue with software.
Which teknetics, has the best resale?
T2/G2+
y is mine not picking up anything even when I put a coin under it
I am not sure. If you think it is a bad unit contact Teknetics directly to see if they can help.
TheHunterGT is
Alright! Maybe when I can afford it! LoL
For coin is good working but for gold isn't good
A
