<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ikandiggit, post: 1570681, member: 16269&quot;]There are a few good machines out there. If it&#039;s just for fun with minimal outlay, the Garrett&#039;s Ace 250 for around $400 or less. If you want to get serious, then I would use a higher end model. I have a White&#039;s DFX that I bought new for around $1400 several years ago. You can pick them up now for about $700. It takes a good full season to understand the machine but the rewards are well worth it. I&#039;ve retrieved half dimes at more than a foot deep; gold rings and chains; relics and much more. But, it took a while for me to understand how to program it to the soil conditions I was digging in. Fine tuning it made a lot of difference. </p><p><br /></p><p>It also comes with pre-set programs, so you can turn it on and go. </p><p><br /></p><p>You have to spend at least $500 for a decent machine plus another $100 for a good pinpointer, about $30 for a good quality digger (cheap ones will snap like twigs), another $100 for headphones. If you skimp on anyone of these, you&#039;ll be digging nothing but pennies and surface change.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
