    T2 Ground Grab Toggle Switch Cover

    Hey all you T2 users... anyone pick up a screw-on switch cover for the ground grab/pinpoint switch on your T2? I tend to get a machine pretty muddy at times and would like to get that switch sealed up before too much grit gets in there. Looking for the diameter specs on the threaded piece at the...

    Delta finds coin circa 1586-1635... in the US!!!

    I am a bit at a loss for words. My good friend and I got out in the woods last night for a night hunt, the woods were glowing orange from his Coleman lantern... We found ourselves on an old road unexpectedly, which I headed up while he worked it slowly... I came to a ridge and decided that it...

    More Delta Silver...

    Ever since getting the 11" DD coil on my Delta a couple months ago, I have been having some great luck with coins... Today was no different - two silvers, a '47 Washington and an 1875 Seated dime. Since March, I have found the following coins with the Delta: 4 Barber dimes, 2 Seated dimes, an...

    Military buttons with Delta and 11" DD

    I have never dug a military button before, and this week I dug two, both in my yard... Gotta love living in an 1840's house... The first is an 1860's Civil War Cavalry Officer's button which I am still cleaning but have managed to save most of the gilding. The coolest part about this find is...

    Delta/11" DD/ Large Cent Depth Test - Signal/99 VDI

    Today I did a test with my Delta and the 11" DD coil - buried a classic head LC at 9 inches, to see what it sounds like at that depth (covered in soil) - well interestingly I got a nice beautiful signal from one side, high 80's/low 90's reading , but turned to a 45 degree to cross scan it, I got...

    Question about Delta's Auto Ground Balancing... (and battery life)

    I notice when I turn the machine on, it usually gives you a beep, and a VDI number pops up on the screen, usually accompanied by one depth bar... Most of the time, that VDI number is around 85. Sometimes 91, sometimes 41, and sometimes, there's no number, no beep - just that little lowercase...

    Delta hits Silver

    Found my first silver of the year and my first Barber ever! Finds for today: 1880 IH, 1889 V Nickel, 1901 V Nickel, 1903 IH, 1905 V Nickel, 1914 Barber Dime, 1918 Wheat, and an IH that's un-dateable. Another great coin day!

    Nickel Grand Slam...

    Well, yesterday's IH bonanza was seemingly hard to top, but my buddy and I headed back out today... Very rough start, and by lunchtime we hadn't found much of anything, and were already hot, tired, and a little frustrated. However, things picked up, and in the last two hours of daylight, the...

    7 Indians with the Delta

    Well, today turned out to be a great coin day... stumbled upon a honey hole after several hours in the woods only finding cartridge casings, and once I found the first, they started coming in fast. Found the first four in about half an hour in an area 20 feet in diameter, the other three more...

    Safe to use rechargable 9 volts?

    Hey all - wondering if anyone knows if its safe to use a rechargable like this in my Delta: http://www.amazon.com/Energizer-NH22BP-9-Volt-Rechargeable-Battery/dp/B00000JGN9 I lost the manual, but I thought I recalled it saying something about only using a specific type of battery... Any...

    Iron falsing - my DD coil or the Delta?

    Just picked up the 11" DD coil for my Delta, and although I have only got about 20 hours in with it, I notice a good amount of iron falsing. Generally, I'll have iron nulled out, and often I'll get a nice repeatable reading, in the 80's on the VDI, and then when I go to pinpoint I notice...

    Favorite Tek coil?

    After breaking the stock coil that came with my Delta, I'm looking to get another... Would love to hear recommends on what all-around coils people like best. I'm gonna need a 5" Greek based on the areas I usually hunt, but in terms of a coil you leave on the machine most of the time for...

    Delta 4000 broken coil - advice?

    Back home in Vermont... Last night was out in the frost and moonlight and had a high an low point - high point being that I found my first nice coin with the Delta - an 1865 2 cent piece in absolutely beautiful condition. Deep in the woods, total lucky fluke - a needle in a haystack. Bad news...

    First day with Delta 4000 = Not good

    Just upgraded from my BH and got a Delta 4000 today - took it out for about 5 hours through an old 1800's field and cellar hole. I have to say, I am really disappointed thus far. The VID jumps all over the map, many high, erratic 80+ readings, accompanied by a maximum depth reading which got...
