Metal detector recommendations

[feldmutze]

I've wanted to get into this for many years. I don't want to get a cheap entry level one though as I know I'll want to upgrade soon after. Probably $300-$500, preferably on the lower end. Opinions gladly welcomed. Also, are there any good websites/forums dedicated to metal detectors/detecting?

Yeah, I think it'd be neat to get into as well...just a large initial investment!
