You didn't mention your state (or country) - but you might consider jumping over to Sub-Forums: Select Your Area.... and selecting your state for information (i.e., clubs, hunts, finds, legends, maps, etc.) directly related to your state (or country).

Welcome Night Crawler! For $3-400, consider the Garrett Ace 250 or 350, Fisher F2/F4 or the Whites Coinmaster GT. They are all good machines in your price range.

If I can answer some questions for you, give me a call.

and while you are waiting for Wayne to ship your new detector...here is a link to some online manuals for about a dozen RadioShack detectors. Hopefully yours is in the list.
