At under $300, the Garrett ACE 400 for land detecting and the Nokta Simplex Ultra for anyone who wants waterproofing. Between $400 and $600, the Nokta Legend gives you simultaneous multi-frequency and full waterproofing - more technology for the money than any comparable machine at that price. The best metal detector for the money depends on where you hunt: the right machine for your terrain type is always a better investment than the cheapest option available. See machines by budget: $200-$400 and $400-$1,000.
