I am just starting to look at metal detecting as a new hobby. I have not even bought a metal detector yet. Any recommendations for one that is reasonably priced yet can work well in 10 feet of saltwater?

That's a lot of great information at the flicker link! You must be as close to a professional at this as anybody can be. I am going to Panama City Fl. in March. Do you have any knowledge of good spots there to detect?
