Help with buying metal detector

[EC.Mason]

Hello everyone. I have been metal detecting with a cheap $100 detector for years, which is probably why I have never found anything good. I have looked at some whites detectors but they ar e pretty high. What would be a good detector for finding old coins and relics that would cost a few hundred dollars? I like detecting for old things so I would want something that would go pretty deep. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Try watching Ebay or a gently used machine from a dealer. White's are excellent machines.

I'm using a Whites M6 which is excellent. Lot of people are using the Garrett Ace 250 with great reviews. Depends on price point. If you are interested in doing some homework try using this website to read reviews of different brands.

I just got a Fisher F2,the 2 coil package with the 4" and 8" coils.It's a great little machine for the money.

I'm with SC Shooter - the Fisher F2 is the way to go. It is the cheapest metal detector you can get that has a number readout, and it works great.
