OK ... OK ... You All Have Me Interested!

I've been following you 'metal heads' around for awhile, and even though my true calling is hunting for Indian Artifacts I would like to try my hand at metal detecting. I will still hunt indian artifacts 90% of my free time, but want the option to metal detect a few old home sites I have come across on some of the properties I hunt.

With that being said .....

What is the best, in your opinion, low dollar metal detector for the money? When I say 'Low End' I mean anything $500 or less with the emphasis on the 'Less'. I'm totally ignorant to any technical jargon that anyone might throw at me concerning metal detectors, so take it easy on the technical terms.

Thanks in advance.

Low end? $500 is more MID-range. You can get a nice detector for that.
Depends on where you live meaning what kind of soil your hunting in.
Many people love the Ace 250 for $212 because it "brings home the treasure"
and preforms as well as many mid-range dedectors with all the fancy
electronics.

If you can afford $500 then look at the Ace 250 ($212) or the WHites Prizm IV or PrizmV.
But for a few dollars more you could go for the M6.
