for £11 i suppose its worth the risk to get yourself into it.

The ground is full of metal rubbish and ringpulls that give the same signal as hammered coins is just one example.. Get the picture. You will have to upgrade from this detector but it is a good start as Alan said just to get the feel for the hobby. Time and perseverance will be your best starting tool and get advice from your fellow detectorists.
