Delta 4000

[Osage]

I know air test don't show us a lot for various reasons. Then again I would rather buy a machine that got 8" on a quarter then one that only got 4'. The first is all metal sense at 10, vol. 10. The items must give stable
reading on the display screen.

Barber quarter 8"
Merc. Dime 7"
Indian head Penny 6"
Nichol 6"

Second test, in disc.10. sense at 10. Must have good screen display. vol. 10

Barber Quarter 8"
Merc. dime 7"
Indian head Penny 7"
Nichol 7"

Third test Disc. 40, sense 11, vol. 10 Must show well on display screen
:
Barber Quarter 8"
Merc. Dime 7"
Indian Head Penny 5"
Nichol 7"

I have no doubt these numbers would inflate if I just went on sound with no regard for the display screen. I had a fisher 1236x2 and did a lot of that. It was a good machine. Just sold my white's 5900 Di Pro sl cb. What a performer that was just two heavy for the old fella any more.

Bottom line is I'm pretty impressed with the delta 4000. Not much difference in test. ummm! Hope I didn't bore you .

I've enjoyed reading all the interesting and informative post here.

Dang , maybe I really am getting senile. Yes I know how to spell nickel and that two is the # . Spelled too two. Soon to be 70 and it is starting to show.

lol......nice little test. Sounds about right. The Delta has no ground balance, so there would be a little reduction once you shove the field into the ground. But different soils do different things.

I'm right there with you Bro. I'm 72 and my body doesn't want to cooperate with what my brain tells it to do.
