Hi Owaiin

Dont be afraid of  pre owned  Detectors .If you buy new and you dont get on with the machine you could loose a few hundred Pounds changing it.

Better off buying a quality used one and if you find its not for you ,you can sell it on for as much as you paid for it in the 1st place.
Good place to look is the Ad trader or Ebay but remember to google any model you may be interested all the major makes will have reviews and write-ups on all of there models.

Maybe contacting a good local Detecting club might be a good idea !

Hiya Owaiin, welcome to the forum.

Are you able to get yourself into a club as this is a very good way to try out various macines until you find the one that's right for you.

Good luck with your new hobby and I look forward to hopefully seeing some of your finds posted on here.

Regards
