Looking to get into one as a hobby, what are good brands? I've been looking at a few forums before I buy one off craigslist. Not wanting to spend much.

I had lunch today with a friend that is really into metal detecting and asked him about different brands. He said Whites, Garret, and Minelab were good ones. He also said it would take about $500 to get one that is decent for finding coins, etc. and that the cheaper ones would be a waste of time unless you were looking for old horse shoes, door hinges, and such.
