Hello, I'm totally green on everything detecting, so of course the first post to this forum will be for initial advice on equipment.
First, I'm a broke single father.
Second, I'm a "buy once, cry once" type of purchaser.
Combine the two, and my price point is always where you get the best increase in performance for the least increase in price.
Third, this will be primarily a beach metal detector...probably encounter lots of trash and while I don't intend to go into water, it'll surely happen eventually, intended or not.
Finally, I like simple, intuitive controls on any device, but my son is mildly autistic and likes to fiddle with settings on everything, enjoying the fine tuning process.
Initial reading here got me a couple names to seek, and it seems the Simplex and Vanquish 440 come in right around the max I'd like to spend (of course, extras on top of the initial detector will add up quickly).
In terms of operating them, is one easier or better?
Or a different model that may be more competitive price wise without sacrificing quality?
Thank you.
