A buddy uses his quite a bit and likes it. It came out I believe in 1993 or 94.

Yes I use the Garrett 350, Its a good machine. though as you know there are better ones out there.Its a good starter for those getting started in this hobby, I've had mine for 1-1/2 yrs. and I know it's time for an upgrade.I've found mine only goes about 4-6 inches deep at least i've only found things in that depth range which isn't bad. As for the price, unless it's in prestige condition I would ask he goes down to 150.00.

It's a good machine. If you can't get it for $100.oo I would probably by a Tesoro Compadre for about $140 new with lifetime warranty and goes a little deeper. Not trying to sell Tesoro, just stating facts.

Thanks for the input guys....I own and use a Garrett Ace 250 and have a Bounty Hunter Pioneer 202 as a backup...just thought about the 350 as a possible backup or a loaner if someone else wanted to hunt with me ...Got some friends that have 2 sons (9 and 8) that are wanting to hunt with me this summer so I thought of that machine as one that they might use and learn on and maybe even give it to them....Might kick start them into this wonderful hobby....see ya

Agreed, the machine is probably fine, but I think around $100 is a fair price. It's around 15 years old and a new Garrett Ace 250 is a better buy in my opinion. The machine may have problems, or develop them after sitting dormant so long.

i still have mine.but the box broke of the shaft.i liked it but it does not have the pinpoint option,i got the gta 500 and it broke also.
i still have the 4.5 coil that i will sell if some one needs it. i have the ace 250 and i like it allot.

If you just want a back up for the kids, then by all means. But I personally wouldn't pay more than a C note for it.
