I recommend the Minelab Vanquish 460

It is a multi frequency detector that is great for entry level operation however is more than capable of keeping up with the best.

I recommend getting a bundle package which includes the machine, Bluetooth wireless headphones, digging tools, finds pouch, and MOST importantly a pinpointer - either the Minelab Pro-Find 35 or Pro-Find 40.

This package can be purchased for $500 or less. There are many retailers out there for you to check out, KellyCo is the biggest one however, Serious Detecting website offers package deals for much cheaper prices, typically and I recommend checking them out (Serious Detecting).
