Steve, if you are new to the hobby, I would suggest starting out with a less complicated detector, and learn it well.
The 1350 is an excellant machine, much lighter in weight, and very simple to use. In field testing it I myself found civil war bullets at 9" in depth, which I was impressed with myself, especially in our mineralized soil. It comes with the 7x10 coil, a great coil for target seperation and still covering a good amount of ground on each swing.
Does not have all-metal mode, but you can use the o disc mode if you like, not as good as all metal, but will do fine.
So for being a beginner, its less money, lighter weight, easy to learn, and a very good machine for coins, jewelry, and relics. It will get good depth as well.
Hope this helps
