If you can find an old Garmin III, IV or V Plus reconditioned you can come
out for around a hundred bucks or so. It uses various coord sets including
loran numbers. https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?pID=121

My experience with them handheld is hit or miss- certainly would be hard to
find a property pin because your motion is so limited vs an automobile.
Sometimes you can be standing still and the unit shows you moving 15 ft or
so back and forth.
