There are such a lot of real life awesome stories of how the handheld metal detector has been used in saving people’s lives. What makes these stories greater is that the heroes are not the police or emergency personnel, but our everyday ordinary next door neighbor. The stories associated with the hand held security metal detectors are so unbelievably human that I have to write about the uses of them in a humility form. This will prove how a lot of good can come of the use of a simple instrument, but it should also be stressed that when in the right hands any instrument can be used for good, just like as in the case of the handheld metal detector.
The first real life use of the handheld metal detector by ordinary people is the story of how the detectors was used in Africa to look for landmines after a boy lost his limps playing in the backyard of his parents’ house. No one in the community knew that on some of their property are still landmines from the era of wars between rival countries and that a house for them to live in was built on minefields. What is most upsetting in life is that something bad has to happen first before something can be done or the truth can come out. The first team of people who did something was men who wanted to protect their families. They bought the hand held security metal detector out of their own pockets and started to look for mines in the area. The beeping sound in their ears, which meant the signal of a possible mine, must have been the most frightening sound ever. The handheld metal detector has an earpiece through which one can hear the distinctive sound of the danger that you are investigating. After their successful search and found operation, the rest of the community followed suit and the area was cleared of all mines. This was one of the most amazing life threating experiences that has been associated with the handheld metal detectors.
The second part of how the hand held security metal detectors are being used successfully is In China, where men and women took to the streets using the handheld metal detector to free their streets from nails that thieves and car hijackers use to puncture the tires of cars in order for them to do harm. The robbers will pave the streets with nails and when the cars get punctures and have to stop, they will rob, highjack and hurt the owners of the cars. Ones again ordinary people bought the handheld metal detectors out of their own pockets and started to comb the streets for the hazardous nails. The beeping sound of success in finding these nails and knowing that they are saving a lot of people’s lives, must have been a great feeling for them. What makes this more special is that the nails are looked for at night and these people are at risk of being hit by a car.
