Alrighty, so I recently started searching for my first cache, but I'm faced with the dilemma of not owning my own metal detector. I've been relic hunting for a few years, but I mostly just combed the ground near ghost towns or in abandoned mines. I'm worried that a detector costing under $300 dollars will be inadequate for what I am searching for, but I can't spend much more that that, given that I'm a high school student without a decent job, though I should have a more reliable source of income within a week or two. The cache could range from just a few lbs. to over 200 lbs., and it is located in a hilly region with gravelly, arsenic-rich soil, and I am unsure of the depth at which it is buried. In conditions such as these, what kind of metal detector should I invest in?
