Buying a metal detector for the first time

Does anyone have a suggestion on how to go about selecting my first metal detector? I'm retired and would like to pick up the hobby, and see that Amazon and other online companies have things at all different price levels, but could use some help in finding out what to look for when selecting one to purchase?

Minelab Vanquish 440 or 540. You cannot do better for a first detector, unless you need a waterproof machine for the beach.
I’m also a fan of the Minelab line. The. Vanquish models are good machines for a minimal cost considering their capabilities. For a few hundred more, you could step up to the Equinox 600 or even the 800. They’re both easy to learn and operate, and are also water-capable.
Minelab Equinox 600.
