The police seized 24,372 devices, including 495 counterfeit metal detectors, 8,550 batteries, 6,557 bases of metal detectors and 1,000 columns used in installing detectors....

  1. I wonder which brand it was. I can only think of cscope and viking as UK brands. Thanks for the heads up.

  2. Yes its a pity the news article never gave the brand name. I've done a bit of googling but can't find anymore news on it. A good reason why its always best to buy from a reputable dealer.
