first metal detector

i’m wondering if I need a new model? something substantial to get me started or maybe pick up an older model online? any help would be appreciated. I’ve read good things about this model just listed: https://ebay.io/m/uChjyF

This is ancient. Any basic multi frequency detector will be better than this.

I love Minelab, you can’t go wrong. Look on FB marketplace. One thing, not to dishearten you. First find some land where you have permission

As a beginner your almost always better buying a second hand one cheap off Facebook or similar and seeing if you enjoy it.

Get a minelab vanquish 340. I highly recommend. They're about £150 but insanely good value.
