I have looked at a lot. The many options are confusing. That's why I asked for experienced opinion.

welcome jeff, if you know some guys that detect, go out with them and borrow theirs and see if you like the machines, my garrett at pro is a very user friendly machine to start with and learn, good luck

first off Jeff welcome !

you don't mention what your money situation is.
Detectors can run from a few hundred to a few thousand.

& I don't think your the Jeff Gordon who doesn't need money so
a suggestion on what your willing to spend will help

along with your mental state, if this isn't too personal.
meaning do you change hobbies as often as your socks ?
are you obsessive about your Hobbies & really get into them ?
are you interested to get rich quick ?
or love of history ?

trust me it will help for us to know what type of person you are.

I personally am an obsessive & in to it for all the above except the changing hobby part.
I never change hobbies, I'm too obsessive, been trying to get rich Quick at this for
over 40 years, love local histoty & if I could have my sox sewen on perminantly I would.
as long as they are wash & wear

Go cheap if this is a whim (under $500) upgrade when your Possessed like the most of us.

Go higher If your serious

If your expecting to get rich Quick, wrong Hobby
