Dear Matrix Neo

Thank you for your question.

Please note that there is no guarantee that you will find any hidden treasure, but you should be able to find some interesting items.

http://www.garysdetecting.co.uk/junior.htm says that you should spend at least £250 on a good metal detector if you are serious about your hobby. The site also gives examples of suitable detectors and says they can be used on dry beaches, as well as inland. It has links to forums where you can ask questions.

http://www.ncmd.co.uk/ gives you details of clubs you can join. It has links to sites about how to begin metal detecting (http://www.ncmd.co.uk/introduction.htm) and how metal detectors work (http://www.ncmd.co.uk/docs/how%20a%20detector%20works.pdf).

Hopefully, these sites will enable you to obtain a reliable metal detector and be able to use it properly. You never know – you may detect the next big treasure hoard.
