If your doing mostly dirt I suggest the Garrett Ace 250. At about $200. (U.S.) it is an easy to pick up detector with alot of things the higher end detectors have.

Here in Australia the Ace250 costs about $465.00 mostly due to customs import duties. This isn't an inexpensive option here. The comparable model here would be one of these:

All models are easily as good as the Ace250 and at about the same price. No import duty here because they're manufactured/assembled in Oz.

It's all about that moment when metal that hasn't seen the light of day for generations frees itself from the soil and presents itself to me.
