Metal Detecting Gets a New Set of Wheels
The london Science Museum has just released the ‘Metal Detecting R.C. Car’.
The car has a small sensor embedded in it’s undercarriage that detects small metal objects when it rambles thru fields, parks and yards. You are enamored with beeps and lights when the car discovers a metal object.
Although it is a novel idea, it is more geared towards helping kids understand magnetic fields. I can imagine this thing picks up all kinds of pulltabs, bottlecaps and all kinds of other junk. It actually even comes with some fake gold coins to practice with.
Even tho this is not for a serious metal detector enthusiast, I still thought it neat to post it, and I would not recommend trading in your new Minelab on one.
