[QUOTE="Hilux, post: 671667, member: 23052"] 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. [/QUOTE]
