It may be O.K. as a starting machine, may be o.k for shallow stuff on the beach,  but you'll need to upgrade to a better one later,, get some practice in out the garden by burying a coin or ring in a plastic bag a couple of inches deep,  also with a bit of steal for the discim. practice.
 for £11 i suppose its worth  the risk to get yourself into it.

Also do not expect to get rich quick and find a gem with every turn of the spade. 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.
