From Trenton North Carolina

I'm Vern from eastern N.C. Wanted to get started on detecting, living only 30 miles from the ocean. Any suggestions on what I should get in the range of $500-$700? REally nice site with a lot of knowledge available.

Welcome to Tnet Vern! There are a lot of good machines in your price range. Just depends on what kind of hunting you plan on doing most of the time.

Welcome from California. Most single frequency detectors will work well in dry sand. Wet sand is more of a challenge with a single frequency machine.
If you plan on getting in the water than look at a waterproof machine. Lots of choices in your price range. Most detectors suitable for dry sand work well
for inland detecting.GL
