Yeah get a good waterproof detector for hunting the beaches.  LOL

Welcome from Texas Try the search fracture top right of page and look for beginner detectors etc. Research the top names Garrett, Fisher, Whites, Tesoro and Bounty Hunters.

Hello AzBeginner.   Welcome from the west part of the valley of the sun.   Homefire and seldom have both given you some good suggestions.  If you're planning on hunting relics, coins, and jewelry, you'll do pretty well with a Garrett Ace 250 or 350, or a Fisher F-4, or any of the equivalents from the other major manufacturers like Tesoro (definitely check them out), Whites, Teknetics, etc.   On the other hand, if you're going to be looking for gold nuggets, you'll probably want to look at more expensive machines (unless you're only interested in the rare large nugget or have exceptionally good ears and skills).
