MD for a starter with a very tight budget?

Hi guys and Gals!
I decided I should spend a bit so I could start detecting here and there.
I had a few very nice coin finds in my life, right next to my house, and I wonder if there's anything I could find if I go deeper...
However, I can spend no more than 50$ including shipping as of now... That's kinda embarrassing to say..
However, you gotta start from something, huh? So if anyone could recommend something cheap, preferably online (as I am not mobile, and I also live in Israel ><), I would be grateful.
Have a nice day!


edit:
I found something I could afford, it's called the Bounty Hunter VLF 2.1
here is the description:

I could wait until I get my paycheck, and then Ill have around 80$ ^^" I'm a teenager, saving up money is quiet hard ya know.. so my main purpose is something cheap to see if I even like the hobby.

Id love that, but the process to getting it shipped abroad, and also the shipping cost is troublesome..
