GP-008 Super Wand Handheld Metal Detector
The GP-008 publishes what most wands do not: detection distances by object. A pin is picked up at 30 to 60 mm, a 6-inch knife at 160 to 180 mm and a 64-model hand gun at 180 to 195 mm. It runs at 35 kHz from a 9 V battery, weighs 225 g without the battery, and uses a PC plus ABS moulding that survives being dropped on a hard floor.
