Default Newbie but a Oldie

From Fort Wayne, In I just retired and I am looking into getting a detector. Many years ago ( Like thirty) I used to live near Lake Michigan and would go out each AM to check the beaches. I used a Compass Detector (I think that was what it was called) and then went to a White later. So I am looking for something new now...
