Mine detector

[Nick Hessens]

I've been told it's from an American mine detector used to find Japanese mines. Unfortunately a lot of paint has been lost during a move.

Your comments please.

The shape of the this more reminds me a British item. The "WA" number also makes me think that. US detectors were usually circular I think?

Cheers, Ade.

This is the MK1...when i first joined the TA 21 years ago we still had two sets in the store...

Think by the size of it maybe a Vehicle mount of a type, just a thought

Thanks guys for the comments. Why did they use bamboo? Because it's cheap?
