shes a quick learner so doesnt have to be real simple..i will teach her.. also the detector needs to have a lcd display with a background light for night hunting also...ty

also forget to mention would like to spend in the $200-250 price range..again thanks for the 2 responses.

Quest Q10. Best bang for the buck. Cheap, light, goes deep, fast recovery and has also backlight for night hunting. Look on YouTube and convince yourself.

What did you use just starting out? You list a Minelab 600. Make sure you get a cheap, easy one, her being a female and all. Good grief.

One of the Garrett Ace series. The AT Pro is very good, a little heavy for a lady perhaps, perhaps not. Lots of deals on them used right now however.

Eurotek Pro is a terrific and easy to use unit. Buy it direct from Teknetics where it is sold as the Minuteman. This thing is the best value out there - $149 with a coupon which you can get on the Minuteman page.
