This metal detector is a great machine for the beginner. Amazon Link to Dr Otek MTXE 👉 amzn.to/3x95oKB The kit has nearly everything to find treasure. I'd also get a decent hand pinpointer like the Dr. Otek MT6 Pro (link to Amazon) 👉 amzn.to/4cwyFiz
I'm thinking that only Garrett's are made in the USA. I think if someone can get into metal detecting with any machine is better than not at all. All the best and keep swinging.🙂
