<p>[QUOTE="Jim C (Mich), post: 147723, member: 3092"]The real cheap ones would be good for a starter to see if this is the hobby for you or not but you may get discouraged if looking for older coins. If ya just wanna find clad change then ya can't go wrong with a cheapie. If ya wanna find the old coins then I would recommend a mid range ($300) known brand detector, whites for example. Old homes are the places to go for old coins. They are not that deep and there usually is not that much trash. Front yards are the best areas. Most old coins are in the 4-8 inch range and a cheapie just isnt' gonna go that deep. You could still stumble upon some oldies by chance but the odds are against you. Just my two cents.
