I'm assuming from your name coin/relic detector?
If so, have a look at the Minelab Go-find 22 (or 44 + 66).
https://go-find.minelab.com/en/products/go-find-22There are also other lower cost detectors like the Minelab Xterra Pro or Nokta Makro Simplex if looking for something a bit more serious.

Just for hunting in parks and local beaches?
I started with one of the Adventure Ridge units from Aldi for about $100.
It worked fine and I found a pile of coins. I then bought a second hand Vanquish 540 for $400. Its a lot better but for a kid and depending on the budget an Aldi unit might be ok.
You didn't mention a pin pointer - I started with a $20 GP Pointer from eBay - it too worked was satisfactory for 12 months until I upgraded to a Minelab Profind for $160 from Annaconda.
Gumtree and Facebook Marketplace usually have a lot of lightly used detectors for sale.
The ones suggested by MBasko also seem to have good reputations.

got a nokta midi hoard for my (undersized) 8 year old and it is excellent. telescopic shaft is fully collapsed at this stage so plenty of options as she gets taller. simple, bulletproof, waterproof and it works. highly recommended
I thought there was another Nokta but couldn't think of the name.
