Anybody ever try the el cheap from China that cost like $36 shipped on EBay. For that price, I had to try it. It does detect metal, just have not had a chance to run it yet.
Probably.. but the toxic chemicals in the handle will make your hand rot off.
..... I feel like having a decent machine (Compadre on up) isn’t too much of a financial stretch to not feel like I’m risking wasting my time and not getting full enjoyment out of this hobby. ....

The Teknetics Eurotek is a US made quality machine and a lot of detector for the money. It’s available direct from Teknetics and if you have a discount code it’s $149 (your favorite dealer can give you one - or just use 1485) .
If you buy cheap you may not get the full benefit of detecting. Also if all you are finding is very shallow fresh drops then you will not be getting the targets that make you smile. I started out with a high quality machine and once I learned the machine I love the hobby. Also you can sell a quality machine .
quicker and closer to cost than you will be able to do with one of those pieces of Chinese Z*&*&
