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 .

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.
Equipment:
Minelab: CTX 3030, GPX 4800, X-Terra 705. Whites TDI SL.
2024: Silver 1, Gold 0
Best finds: 28 silver dime spill, 1800s Dutch customs seal.
Oldest/best coins: Late 1700's Chinese Cash Coin, 1837 Upper Canada large cent, 1877 Seated Dime
Oldest Relic find: 1800 Sailors Luck token

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.
Minelab E-Trac/Sun Ray X-1 -- Minelab Sovereign GT/Sun Ray S-1 -- White's v3i/Sun Ray DX-1
Fisher CZ3D -- Tesoro Tiger Shark -- Garrett ACE 250
With a little negotiating, great local deals can be had on Craigslist.
Primary machine= Teknetics T2
2016 Totals
Oldest Coin= 1920 Wheat Cent
Silver Coins= 0
Rings= 1
