(Code: 1795) | |   Very scarce British Army Polish mine detector model Mk3 (ZA22175) with accessories and its light version No4 (ZA22158) removable handle in two parts with counterweight, adjustment box fixed on handle. Detector mine No3 (Polish) battery amplifier serial number 10025. Webbing back pack made by MECo and stamped WA 10099 complete with straps, wiring and headphones. Invented by Lieut. Jozef Stanislaw Kosacki 1903-1990 a Polish inventor and soldier. While serving in the Signals Corps of the exiled Polish Army defending the Fife coast, Kosacki developed the mine detector. He had experimented with mine detection while still in Poland, but based in St Andrews in 1941, he was asked by the British War Office to develop a device which could be used to clear growing mine fields, both much faster and with much less risk to the lives of the soldiers doing the clearing than their previous technique of prodding the ground with a bayonets. More than 500 of this so-called Polish Mine Detector were shipped to North Africa for use in the Battle of El Alamein. The detector was used later during the Allied invasion of Sicily, the Allied invasion of Italy and the Invasion of Normandy
