$350 or under for WET weather.

If i had $350 to spend on a new MD.
I live in Extremely WET western Washington State (seattle).

for around $350, what MD would you buy for Prospecting, coin finding, general detecting old farmlands & such in WET weather.

I cannot afford nor forsee me being able to afford the AT Pro.

As a fellow western washingtonian I know about the wet weather. LOL. My Ace 250 has done well in downpours (like last weekend). I have the housing cover for it that garrett makes (15 bucks) and never had a problem. I will be getting the AT PRO soon......I may have an ace 250 for sale...

I have the Garrett Ace 350 ($297.00) and also use the Garrett cover ($14.97). Went out most all day yesterday in a cold rain without an issue

Wet weather shouldn't be an issue for any detector you choose so long as you keep the electronics covered. A Baggie or two with rubber bands to hold them on work just fine. No issues at all with the coil getting wet. If you need to lay the detector down, just prop it up on something so the electronics arent laying in water.

Hi, I was in the same boat as far as price goes. After asking silly questions to these forums I ended up buying the Tesoro Cibola. As long as you dont care about a monitor. You can pick these up about 360ish. Now I just received mine today, so I can not give you personal oppinion. But after purchasing mine I have seen some you tube vids comparing the cibola to the 250 air test. Take a look.

Well, maybe i'm in luck. My neighbor is a Garrett dealer and offered a special neighbor to me at cost price. Told me he really wants me to get the AT PRO. I told him my lovely wife wanted her part from my Jeep sale and he laughed. Said to just come to the store and we will look up his cost and pencil out a plan and price. His price from Garrett.
hope what I have left is enough.
