I've been reading lots of posts about detector recommendations this past weekend and decided to just start a thread and ask for some advice. When I was a kid I was mowing the lawn and as I made a loop along the edge of our horse pasture I saw a tiny circle on the ground that turned out to be a 1902 dime. Someone came over with a metal detector and found an old penny and a skeleton key in the same area. This was at least 25 years ago but I've quite often thought that I would like to do some detecting around a few old foundations I know of near where I grew up. I imagine I would be looking for coins and relics in north western and north central PA. I would probably check out some of the beaches around the local lakes as well but not sure that I need anything waterproof. I have been setting some money aside for a detector. Any recommendations around $600? I can't find anywhere locally that sells metal detectors so I'd have to order online. Thanks for any advice!
