I don't have one yet but everyone seems to be in love with the new Minelab Equinox 800.
The XP Deus is also a top notch machine.

Welcome! It all depends on your budget. Aside from the detector, you'll need knee pads; gloves; a finds bag; a good digging tool; and maybe a handheld pinpointer. Look to spend another $150-$200.00 on these items. If you can afford another $550 - $650.00 after that, then you can do a Garrett AT Pro, or a Minelab Equinox 600. Budget a bit less? Look at the Garrett Ace 250; Fisher F22; Minelab Go Find 60; Whites Treasure Master
