Hello! Lots of good info on here about the delta if you search around. Its an AMAZING machine from all the reports and playing around with one air testing. Hard to beat with all the features it has for the $. Guys will chime in here soon I am sure! Any questions please feel free to call or email me. Bart
I really love my Delta 4000. It is well made, packed with new technology, and is a solid coin shooter. I get more and more impressed with it every time I use it. It has found silver, gold, clad and some relics for me. Extremely light weight - easy to swing all day.
Is it perfect?.. Nope. It takes a bit of practice to understand what it is telling you. Trashy iron can mask good targets, (I only have the stock 8 inch), but I hear that the 5 inch coil helps in those areas. The all-metal modes are powerful - the discriminate mode works superb. Its' sensitivity can easily be adjusted which is handy if you're near EMI sources or on bad ground. The fixed ground balance works every where I've been except for wet salt beaches (it falses), but works great on the dry sand. Iron grunts. Nickels make middle tones. Silver sounds off with a high pitch. You can notch out Iron, Foil, Aluminum, nickels or zinc (any or all). Pinpoint is dead on, but it's depth sometimes reads less than it actually is - the depth indicator on the right seems to be a bit more accurate. It feels great to swing AND looks terrific! Batteries last a long time and having a choice of 1/4 or 1/8 headphone jacks is useful if you decide to change (I once forgot my 1/4" plug headphones, but was bailed out by being able to use the earbuds I had from my mp3 player (1/8" plug).
I could go on and on about the Delta, but really suggest that you get one and discover for yourself what a wonderful machine it really is.

The Delta is the most bang for the buck available IMO.
I use mine with the 5" DD coil to rehunt sites after hunting them with my F70 with the 11" DD coil.
My favorite feature is that,, when hunting in discrimination, and you get a partial high tone you can , with the push of a button, switch to all metal and get another TID #------If the parameters are Iffy --dig it.
