Tony F

Thanks for all the reply guys, a few asking what I would like to do  guess its relics and coins id like to get into detecting on farmland/fields mainly but may at some point a visit to the beach on the odd day out,  but its all very new and a lot of learning ahead of me

Hello I would like to just introduce myself and say hi to everyone, i am from the UK just near Manchester, my name is Tony age 55, I am new to the hobby and cant wait to get started, I yet don't have a detector I'm trying to gain knowledge as what to buy,( any guidance would be appreciated I'm looking at a budget of around £500 to £600  I have been interested in the hobby for a number of years but never had chance to do anything about it until now,
