Metal Detector owners

Hello ... my first post!
I've also been considering purchasing a metal detector and hope y'all can give me some guidance.
I'd want one that could find gold (thoughts of gold nuggets I could make into a necklace dance through my head) but also other things like coins and old metal items long buried. I wasn't sure if there is a decent one that can do both. I could spend up to about $500 but I wouldn't want to go more.
Another concern is the weight of the machine .... I'm not a wimp but carrying around something a body builder might lift doesn't sound like fun, nor something taller than me.
Nor do I want to look like a total dweeb ... my family already think I'm a bit crazy to love camping and fishing and this might be enough to have them calling the county. If I can find the right machine, maybe a bit of spray paint and some rhinestones might make it look acceptable.
Any help would be appreciated!
based on advice here I got a Garrett Ace 150 for about $150 which seems to be a nice unit. the DVD covered this and also the 250 which IIRC sold for about $250. sort of wish I had spring the additional $100.
