welcome to the forum
unfortunately not one detector fits all. you have to have more than one detector or to compromise.
you need one detector for dry land, mineralised ground, dry sand, black sand and one that you will be able to take it to the water's edge and shallow water.
one that have good discrimination when you are hunting at the park, and its multi frequency when you are at the wet/black sand, salty water.
I recommend (and that's my personal opinion) the one I am using for 9 years with very good success, and works very very well on parks( excellent discrimination)mineralised ground, black dry or wet sand, and you can take it up to the water's edge or even dip it in the water if you are careful not to wet the control box,
it's the Whites DFX, with the 9 inch concentric stock coil.
Unfortunately it's out of production and you can only get it second hand.
BUT it will fit your price range
