British Mine Detector post WW2

[browningautorifle]

Well, it LOOKS like the ones we had, I thought ours were US castoff. Not too sure as I didn't have the Pioneer course. We were issued for a range cleanup in 1981 and used them for a week or so... Yes, they are a bit awkward but so is much of our gear. Example, the handle should have folded up from the other direction and it would have been easier to keep in position... You can buy simple metal detectors now that are head and shoulders beyond these. Does this not use a couple of "D" cells?
