That mine detector looks suspiciously like a folding shovel to me, not the ideal device for the purpose. Your eyes deteriorating?

Also, how many people do you think have twigged the inclusion of the FA cup?

I'll post a photograph of mine when I find it - I've put it "somewhere safe" - so safe that can't find it !
If memory serves me correctly The Rifles edition has as game pieces, Cap Badge, Back Badge, Officer's Sidehat, Bugle, Cross belt Badge and a "proper" beret !
