I found it on fleabay a while back. It was listed in the new-other category. The guy bought it in March of 2000. He still had the original box and receipt from Metal Detectors of Minneapolis. He used it for a few hours to locate some property boundary stakes, and put it away in the box for 19 years until I bought it. It is in pristine condition. The reason I know that it was barely used is the battery terminals did not have a mark on them. After you put the battery in a few times the terminals start getting scratched from sliding the battery in and out. So I have 2 pristine Bandido ll Umax’s. They are what I use when I just want to go out and dig and have fun, and not worry about programs, settings, screens, etc.. I have the 7” black concentric coil on one and the 8” white donut coil on the other one. I will never part with them.
