well you could get a garret ace 250 or Whites treasure master for close to that they are both great starter machines for close to that price .

Cool Thank you for the info I have had a lot of suggestion on the whites it must be a good starter

I have a Fischer f2 that runs a little over 200 on amazon and I am doing well on clad coins and a few rings so far this year

For a few bucks more you could go with a minelab X-terra 305, listed at $329 0nline. A bit more than a simple beginners machine, but easy to learn and great performance. I use the X-terra 705 myself.

Good recommendations so far. With a $200 budget you might consider looking for something used in the midrange in terms of quality. Some of the options have already been listed - I would add ACE 350 to those already mentioned. Another one is White's MXT - a great machine. Or a White's DFX, but that might be out of your price range.

With a little negotiating, great local deals can be had on Craigslist.
