What is a brand of decent but cheap metal detectors?
I recently moved to a house that is sitting on what used to be only field and marsh. With my interest in the Civil War era and knowing that neighbors have found numerous items from soldiers in their backyards I began searching for a metal detector but the problem is I have no idea which one to purchase? I want it to be able to pick up objects both in my yard and the river during low tide but I also want something inexpensive since it is just a hobby for now. Any suggestions? I would be looking for buttons, knives, canteens, etc.
If you want economical try the local pawn shops some have them on a wall collecting dust. If you want a new one try this site:

Be careful, if you discover a large amount of artifacts, the local museum will declare your back yard a historical site and you will lose everything. Here’s a clip about just that:
LONDON – It’s an unprecedented find that could revolutionize ideas about medieval England’s Germanic rulers: An amateur treasure-hunter searching a farmer’s field with a metal detector unearthed a huge collection of Anglo-Saxon gold and silver artifacts.
