The first industrial metal detectors were developed in the 1960s and were used extensively for mining and other industrial applications. A series of aircraft hijackings led the Finnish company Outokumpu to adapt mining metal detectors, still housed in a large cylindrical pipe, to the purpose of screening airline passengers as they walked through. Buy used [...]

The development of industrial metal detectors continued in a spin off company and systems branded as Metor Metal Detectors evolved in the form of the rectangular gantry now standard in airports. In common with the developments in other uses of metal detectors both alternating current and pulse systems are used, and the design of the [...]

Numerous models of automated metal detectors are manufactured today. Some offer more features than others, and some are just simply better.  Automated VLF instruments are often referred to as “motion” detectors since they can be hovered over a target for only a few seconds because of their automatic circuitry.  Consequently, slight searchcoil motion is always [...]

The modern development of the metal detector began in the 1930s. Gerhard Fisher had developed a system of radio direction-finding, which was to be used for accurate navigation. The system worked extremely well, but Fisher noticed that there were anomalies in areas where the terrain contained ore-bearing rocks. He reasoned that if a radio beam [...]

The visual display is clear but may be too small for some of us with poor eyesight, even with glasses. The sounds of the machine, the tones [...]
