You also might consider buying used !!! I have bought, sold, and traded many detectors and I rarely ever buy new. I can get more detector for my buck that way !!
If you want " high performance " , buy a tesoro cibola. It is a " turn on and go" machine. If the cibola is out of your budget then look at the Tesoro Silver Umax. Dont be decieved by its simplicity. Other wise the Garrett 350 is an easy to use high perfomance machine. The coil on a 350 is a tad large for coins so you might consider buying two coils for the Garrett. The Fisher f 2 IS easy to use too. You won't go wrong on any of the detectors mentioned here.
The Garrett AT Pro might be too much machine for a first time owner. I'm not sure , I dont use one.
