Do you have a dealer near by, if so, pop in and ask to play. Where in the world are you?

Sounds as though you really are new to the hobby, in which case Puffin is right. Get yourself off to a dealer
who will let you try a few.

You could be thinking outside your comfort zone for a first detector.

They are a super crew, who will guide you properly through the

Good hunting.
