Bounty hunter from wal mart makes a good MD - I have one and it does real good , Also Radio Shack has a few good beginner models.
I bought a small one from radio shack Years Ago (10-12) so i could practice with it, then the kids started using it so i bought a bounty hunter from wal mart, there not the best MD's but they do good so far over the last 10yrs or so i have probably dug up enought to pay for itself several times over. I do it for fun and exercise. Now the little cheap one from radio shack , my kids and there husbands take it with them when the go camping etc, and have probably found as much with it as i have with the Bounty hunter.

advice would be to buy the best u can afford and don't worry about it and go out and hunt !! Good Luck to u.

It's all about that moment when metal that hasn't seen the light of day for generations frees itself from the soil and presents itself to me.

If your still looking I think v-burgh hit the nail on the head with the garrets if you want new. And as mentioned, eBay and craigslist if you wanna take a chance on a better used one.
