At this point you are in a std single tone motion disc. The Disc level is set to 2 / Foil, the Sens level is set to 6 bars. When you first turn on the Prizm4 or any other Prizm its pretty much all set to go. It ends up being a priority as the built in volume level of the Prizm seems low to me, using my Koss TD-81 headphones gives me great sound. The original pair that came with my machine are "supposed" to last only 20 hours, but Mine still are working strong! Not sure why but It could because I always hunt with a good pair of Headphones. I was slightly annoyed by the change to 9volts, but i am very surprised I got the Coil cover which i say is essential as well. But the 8" coil for me is pretty much the standard coil for me as it covers all the essentials. I know a lot of Hunters who like to use 9.5" or 10" coils for their standard hunting. I am about to buy the new Prizm950 coil which goes for $100 or less, its the only other coil option for any Prizm. It comes stock with an 8" coil which serves most of every use you can come up with. I am still leaning towards maybe investing in some sort of control cover.I've seen one from SunRay which is sold for the Explorer, but can be adapted simply for any Prizm. Its amazing to know the control box is water resistant and so far the LCD screen hasn't been scratched up. the PRIZM 4 is a nice reliable and sturdy detector.

The Prizm 4 retails for around $450 and most dealers will sell them for around $400 but I expect by this coming spring the price will drop now that other companies like Garrett revamped their Ace series, which look extraordinarily like White's Prizm series. Best of all they are made in the USA by a established American company.

Some people may thing Whites new Prizm series are low end toys but they are very powerful machines at the fraction of a cost than other detectors with similar features.

I absolutely love the 3 Tone Audio ID and don't know what i ever did without having more than one tone to help with detecting. I've been using my Prizm 4 now pretty regularly ever time out. I wanted a good entry level machine with an ID and this was the closest one I could discover. WHITES PRIZM 4 BY LUKE got a new Whites Prizm 4 in mid July this summer. For my experience level the 4900 is a superb machine, and it doesn't have that silly meter like the 5900 does, and don't even get me started on the 6000, I'll swing a cheapo Bounty Hunter before I'll use a 6000. I've never had a need for any other detector. Get yourself a good detector and stick with it, I promise you it will pay you back.

I frequently go with hunt clubs in Illinois and New Mexico, I follow along behind people who have paid $800.00 or more for their new detector and I consistently find valuable targets that they've missed, does this mean that my old '49er is a better machine than theirs? No, not really, it means that 15 years of practice with one high quality, older machine is more of an asset than all the digital, whiz-bang bells and whistles that money can buy. I've read reviews by people who complain about always having to readjust the Ground Balance, they call the 4900 unstable because of this, these aren't unstable machines, they're simply so sensitive to ground mineralization that they need frequent calibration, this isn't a bad thing for a person who knows what they're doing, but it's a royal pain in the neck for a beginner. For the newbies out there who are thinking about getting a used "Pro" line metal detector, just remember that the word "PRO" actually means something here. I've owned my 4900/DL Pro now for about 18 years and it has been a wonderful detector, however I wish the dealer had sold me a simpler machine to get me started in the hobby.
