Welcome to the forum !!
Without more specifics or a price range, I would say the two most recommended (decent) entry level units are the Garrett Ace 250 and the Tesoro Silver Umax. Both are right in the $200 range and are very good machines.

Welcome to T-Net I would also go with the Ace250 and not just because I use it, the reasons as follows: lightweight, digital displays, easy to learn, comes with all kinds of starter accessories, including a plastic heavy duty trowel for digging, video instructions for usage and tips, and several other goodies.


I guess there are other comparable machines out there, but I am happy with mine.

Good for you! It is easy because I use it For the money, I think most will agree it is a great beginners machine. You should make that money back in finds within a year, or sooner. The way I see it, this is a hobby that I participate in to relax and maybe find something good. It hasn't happened yet, but I am still having fun and meeting interesting people. I can't take the hobby too serious, that is what work is for
