Hello TN! Need Recommendations

[Tshaffer14]

Hello TreasureNet Members,

I was so happy to find this site it is great. Well I am Tim and I am a 50 year old newbie here. I live in Orlando and I frequent the beach and want to get involved in this great hobby. I have read so many things on what I need however I thought I would ask the experts the ones who do this! I am going to purchase a metal detector set up and I need advice on what would be the best for me. I want to use it on the beach as well as inland. I also want it to be water proof as well so I can go in shallow waters as well. Please let me know what your recommendations are. I would greatly appreciate it. Looking forward to getting to know this community better as well. Thanks so much.
Tim

Welcome to Tnet from an Ohio coin shooter. No salt water around here, sorry I'm no help on a beach detector.
