Sorry Guys, I'm going to be looking for Civil War related objects in thick timber and over rocky terrain, Was hoping to find something around 300-500 range. I'm in NE Oklahoma.

I initially forget to welcome you. Welcome x2!
Have you factored accessories into your budget? Foremost, you will Need a quality pinpointer. Also, in such harsh terrain, a durable shovel/diggin' tool.
Must you buy new? Many great bargains can be found buying used.
Contact Bart@BigBoysHobbies.net, or any of the other supporting vendors here. New or used, that will be your best chance for great deals. Good Luck.
Peace ✌

A CZ6 with a 10" coil (make sure you get the 10, and not the 8") is an easy machine, and deep-seeking, for that type "open pasture" type detecting (woods, furroughed fields, etc....). You might get fooled by some deep nails, but ...... for relicky type CW mindset, it's a good easy to use machine. You can find used CZ6's on ebay etc... from time to time at reasonable prices.

I would go with a Garrett AT Pro, it is a very versatile machine and you can get them for less than $600 if you buy on Ebay. A cheaper similar machine would be the Ace 250 or Ace 350.

I would also consider an Garrett AT Pro, Pinpointer, digging tool and digging shovel. I am sure one of the forum dealers will help you in the purchase.
