After i get through with the big purchases for my project car i am going to purchase one as well. Ive done a lot of research and have used several models in the past. Im going to get a garrett gtp-1350. This detector has outstanding depth and discrimination for the price range. I could get a cheaper bounter hunter or something comparable but i cant deal with knowing the garrett will go several inches deeper, and in most cases deeper=older rings, coins, and relics..just my 2cents, good luck.
