    Need advice on new MD purchase

    I want a MD and a pinpointer and have a little over $300 to spend. A few options I am looking at are:

    Garrett Ace 350 and Harbor Freight pinpointer

    or

    Garrett Ace 250 and Garrett Pro Pinpointer

    or

    Fisher F2 2-coil package with Fisher Pinpointer

    If you had to choose one option which one would you choose? Primary use of the MD will be coin shooting.

    You will make up the difference in coin finds and other things your first summer out!
    Which in turn will recoup you price difference in a better machine in no time.

    Re: Need advice on new MD purchase

    Garrett is a great brand, I've seen many nuggets it has picked up on youtube when I reviewed "Garrett" M.D.'s
    I have seen on craigs list over here in California some cheep M.D.'s but watch out, I saw a used Whites MXT go for more $$$ than one on Ebay. Sometimes Pawn shops have good deals too.
    Today I got a sale on a Tesoro Lobo Super Traq with headphones for $425.00 plus $39.00 shipping, it was from a Pawn Shop, a guy left it and didn't pick it up. List is $799.00
    There are still some good deals out there, good luck hunting.

    Re: Need advice on new MD purchase

    Wish I had known Woodlands was in NC..but I did order from another site sponsor on here, the Fisher F2 package with the 2 coils and pinpointer plus the Garrett pro pinpointer, so I'm looking forward to seeing the UPS guy around the end of the week! Thanks for the advice everyone, it was a hard decision!

    Re: Need advice on new MD purchase

    Of the three, I'd take #2.

    Can I give you a fourth option?

    A Tesoro Compadre and a Garrett Propointer. You'd probably have enough left for a Lesche digger too.
    He who fears digging trash will dig no treasure.

    Re: Need advice on new MD purchase

    Saw a Garrett MD on Ebay bid started at $10.00 now it's $50 something but under $60.00 Looks like a nice newer model, & not the cheepest model. Check it out, It's a deal if you like the Garretts MD's Thought you should know.
