Viking 1. If you speak to Nigel or Marcus at Regtons and mention you are a member of Gary's Metal Detecting Forum. You may get a discount.

Bounty hunter is a good little detector.I know ive used one.
It will beep over a non ferrous target just as well as a Viking 1 .

i got plenty more advice on other groups too and alot said the BH is better, on youtube it also detects a little deeper than the viking and seems more child friendly. phoned a local club aswell and they advised the BH would be better for a 8yr aswell. not to mention it was cheaper too as it is already over my budget lol.

Garrett Ace 250.  Tried, trusted, and loved by thousands.  From what I have read it is the epitome of the starter machine.
