Can anyone tell me a good detector for a rookie?

wow, this topic will be three years old in January, I am sure he bought one by now and he is no longer a rookie.

Lol, that's a good point. It looks like he got an Explorer SE in '08. JJ

Good Luck!

I bought this detector as part of the discount bogo deal when I got my Safari. I was very surprised, it is a very good second machine and amazed that when digging shallow clad I can fill my pouch much faster than I can with my Minelab! Depth is not the greatest but it doesn't matter because most clad is only 4-6" down anyway. It is super light and very quick to use.

If your going for Relics though you will need something much deeper.
