Such is life on Ebay and I probably missed out on a deal on one of Eric's earlier model Goldscan pi units. I don't like to bid on stuff outside of the U.S. but it may have been as close as I will ever get to a PI instrument. I do have the Hammerhead project board coming so I will make the best of that. I probably underestimated the value of this early Goldscan unit.Wirechief.
