thanks Kickindirt but have had horrible luck on ebay. a dealer i hope has one surface. i went ahead and sent the friend the Simplex. he has my xp350 coming back to me... he dont need depth. i have missed Daddy Earl i call it. i have a place special to do it. the friend is going to dump a bunch of units he has to downsize due to a bunch of reasons, and needs too at our ages and positions in the future. reality sets in.

May the last hole i dig be my own, and will a fellow detectorist cover me up. And you can have the pulltab!
