welcome to t-net....... the only detector that comes to mind for under 300 is the garrett ace 250.. i dont know how good it is at relic hunting but most people say it is a good beginner detector...

Thankyou, I was just on amazon and saw the Ace 250 and had some great reviews, said it was good for coins.

You have to consider the soil conditions where you live, if the ground is hot (Virginia, NC SC )
you'll need a whites

Garrett ace 350 is under $300 and has a great DD cool on it. Holler if I can help you! Bart

I just got my first detector, an Ace 250, as a totally unexpected birthday gift from my father. I really like the machine, even though I've only found pull tabs and sheet metal screws in the few times I've used it.

My only regret is that I was unable to buy one from Woodland Detectors. Mike spent a ton of time working with me...he really is the great guy that everyone says he is. People rave about Mike's good hearted and genuine customer service, and I'm here to back that up.

Give him a call, or PM him. It will be well worth your time!

I'd consider doing this - check out Kellyco - they have a pre-owned metal detector area on their site- they have some good deals there (so much so I know where I'm getting my next detector!) and their customer service is top notch.

Myself, I have used a Tesoro Silver Umax and still do. It's an outstanding machine and will only run you $239 shipped. Comes with a lifetime warranty, and Tesoro is still a family run business with unbeatable service. #1 in my book.

I recently bought a Fisher F75 from Mike at Wooland Detectors and can say, you won't beat his service or price. If you look around Treasurenet, you will see that others are also 100% happy with Mike and his service.
Try getting personal service from a big box store!

Whatever you decide on, we're looking forward to seeing your future finds.

I would highly recommend Mike. He does not leave you when you buy a machine from him. He is always there to help you if you ever have any questions. His signature says it all......
