. I just found another Pounds yard in my photo files.     Norman D. Landing, Forum Normandy Correspondent, 14 April  2O26.   ..

Thanks for that. I had looked on ebay and tried to do a bit of research on it myself and things started to point to it being very rare. It's a mission for me to sell it being in NZ but i'd pack it up for a Collector. I suspect there would be someone wanting a Deadstock M-65 by this Contractor but i don't think ebays the way for me atm. It's real nice to own now i know more about it, better than a few hundred bucks. Thanks for the advice though.

Looks like a good place to metal detect. Unless it's forbidden. 

. More photographs of Pounds yard 1978   one of my Jeeping friends having seen the couple of photos I had posted of the Beach Armored Recovery Vehicle in Pounds scrap yard sent me a few more he had taken roughly around the same time, which I have added here.              Norman D.
