Just Purchased...

A Delta 4000. This is my first MD. I bought it from Sears, with taxes it cost $296. Should be here in 7-10 days.
I hope I didn't spend too much, and that I purchased a quality machine. If anyone has any tips on this detector for a beginner, I will gladly take them.
Thank you.

Amazon offers that same machine at $279, so by adding taxes you're pretty darn close.

Looked up the Delta 4000, and from what I read it appears to be a decent
detector, and you'll no doubt be finding many coins and other goodies
real soon!

Thanks. I spent alot of time reading about different brands. Finally, I said I've had enough and not exactly sure what I'm looking for, so I'm just gonna do it.

Download the owner`s manual and read it a lot of times before the machine gets there....might help.

Thanks for the advice. I will definitely do that. I am a Geospatial Analyst by trade, so I've been comparing old maps (Topo and land plat) and aerial photos to current imagery, plus been reading some old books covering the history of my the county I live in. I've identified several places I want to hit, so reading the owner's manual will speed the process of getting out there and actually finding something interesting.

got mine two days ago, I ordered it from the local radio lab 170 and change. came with a pointer too.
went fir my first dig today, I think it would take me a lifetime to get all the metal out of my back yard!!
In one 4" hole I got a piece of glass, an old 57 Heinz jar lid, a big piece of china, and some metal hardware piece! holy crap what a junkyard. but it's my junkyard
Reppie2roo, I'll try to keep up on my numbers and what I'm diggin.

Remember you have to dig the junk to find the treasure.
