Andrew,

I will be taking you up on that offer - Thanks. Need to have something to start learning on before next year when fisher finally gets rolling. Figured a GPX5000 was a bit much $$ - This was very affordable - and i plan on having it for beach hunting on vacation and such. The GB machines like a TDI beach hunter was a lot more $$$ and the ML gold machines as well.

I'll drop a note once it arrives - hope you have a coaching hat.
