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.

Took it out for the first time. Found tons of neat stuff along the River. Probably better ones on the market but this one seems pretty good! We really enjoyed it and can’t wait to go out again tomorrow!!

For a decently priced detector I am quite impressed so far and have since retired my 2 bounty hunters. I went back over an area I had hit with my bounty hunter and have found at least an additional 110 coins. The first hit I got with the teknetics I spent an hour on one spot and pulled 44 coins from 1926 to 1961. I love the pinpoint and volume features makes it much easier not having to dig big holes. I have also found fairly light artifacts at well over a foot deep and didn't even have the sensitivity over a 9. Ive only had about a month, and rarely write a review for anything but thought if someone was shopping for a detector Id give my opinion of what to buy and it would be this one. thanks. I have had this detector for awhile now and have found hundreds of coins and old store tokens along with numerous interesting old artifacts, still give rave reviews and am now purchasing another. oldest coins Ive found recently is 1906 and 07 pennies 1920 to 1944 various dimes and an old 10 cent store token with original town name before was relocated in 1908, have many more places to hit wish I had more time.

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.

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.

This was a birthday present for my 13yr old son. He loves it and has already found coins on our old farm. A great starter detector that wont break the bank yet lets them find more than nails and bottle caps.
