Hello Geekboy, welcome to the site.
Plenty of help here, all you got to do is ask mate.

There is better machines on the market Wink

If you want, can arrange for you to try a couple of machines out.

Enjoy.

Yes, you've made two good starts to the hobby.

1) Living on a farm !

2) You didn't buy a Monsterlab multi-frequency to start with ! Wink

Joking aside, some of the cheap Japanese/Chinese machines can have quite surprisingly good performance.

I read of a detector repairer (Pulsar Electronics) testing a maplins model out (I don't remember the model) and stated it was a half decent machine compared to some top end models. So don't be put off. It's fine to start with.
