There are all kinds of used machines in that range too. Some were fairly high-end machines a few years ago. What type of detecting are you planning to do? Water? Land? Coins? Nuggets? Relics? More info needed for recommendations.

Been enjoying my Coinmaster GT. No other experience but have found lots of stuff in my first 26 hours of hunting.

I have actually seen many top 10 lists where the F2 was #1 or in the top 3 for that price range.

You'd have enough left for a good pinpointer.

I bought my explorer xs for $400. On ebay you'll see them in that price range often. Imo the best deal in metaldetecting.

GARRETT for sure 350

I'm not trying to be mean at all, so I hope that this doesn't come across that way, but how does he the 350 perform any better than an f2/eurotek pro with the dd coil?
