delta 4000

According to the post below showing the comparison chart, the delta 4000 only has 1 audio tone, is that correct?

thanks,

Rich
 
In just reading the Owners Manual that was sent by email to me by a fine member of the forum the other day....... it appears that there are 3 tones...... low, medium and high tones........ according to the type of target being detected. You can also go to the above links that have been supplied as the Bounty Hunter website, and click on the Delta 4000 link...... and read about the machine through downloading the PDF file of the owners manual.
 
I have a question I'd like to ask those that have had a bit of experience with this Delta 4000. If one was hunting for relics, and used any discrimination at all, then the way I understand it....... you have to notch out a whole segment....... like the lowest level iron. Now, I know with most machines, when you try to disc out most iron..... you're still gonna be left with some iron signals... especially the larger iron pieces.... even some stubborn nails, etc will manage to get through.

If notching out iron on the Delta, would one expect similar occurrances of iron to still be detected? The manual seemed to indicate that "all iron" would not be detected. I prefer, even when using some discrimination, to allow some of the iron to still beep its way through. I don't want to miss everything that may register as iron on the target ID.

Thanks
 
This is somewhat personal preference, but I virtually always leave iron "in" because what you're referring to is "wrap around" where actually the lowest of iron and the highest of conductivity are actually pretty close together. If you notch or disc out the iron segment, and you are hitting some ferrous targets that are wrapping around, you'll only hear the occasional semi-repeating high ID part of the two part puzzle. If you leave iron in, you can easily hear and see you are over a target that exhibits wrap around qualities. Don't overlook the all metal mode either. You'll hear the size and shape of the target at the same time you get to see the ID. If targets are thick or near constant, it's not a bad idea to hunt in disc all metal and then when you find something that you want to investigate further, do so in true all metal.
 
Once again, Brad, I thaank you. My boss ( the school's superintendent) came by my classroom during my 7th period class. He had his new detector with him! :clapping: We put it together real quick, and installed the battery. I had already read the PDF file you had sent me on the Owner's Manual, and gave him some quick instruction on his new Delta. I had also done some research of the CW battle and camps that are on his and his relatives' land...... pulled up the Ohio State site on the OR's and I had printed off all I could find that was relevant...... and gave him a copy of it all. He's going to read through it all this weekend, and next weekend we're supposed to get together again for another hunt. Thanks bunches!
 
Ryoung,

I have a Delta 4000. When you turn on the machine it defaults to the discrimination mode with iron notched out. If were looking for relics, I would notch back in the iron. You cannot notch out certain numbers like 20-23, you either accept or reject the entire category (ie. foil). There are 3 tones that the detector will make. The highest tone goes off over the numbers 75 - 99 (or dimes, quarters, .50, and silver). I have found most of my coins in this range. The medium tone is pull tabs, nickels, aluminum, and zinc. Here is where you will find gold too. The low tone sounds like a grunt over iron, and it's unmistakable. I don't relic hunt, so I leave the iron discriminated out. Also, try to run the sensitivity up as high as you can go (without it falsing) for maximum depth. There is an All Metal mode, but I have found it more confusing than anything else. Hope this helps.
