    spam webbing kit question

    In today’s telegraph - sorry can’t link - there is an article on the American troop
    withdrawals from Afghanistan & Iraq. There is an accompanying photo of a spam soldier
    with a odd looking piece of kit on his webbing. It appears to be about 1ft long and 2”wide with , what looks to be a handle and some sort of dial/meter under it
    and has the words “NEWIN” in prominent white lettering on the front. As I have been out for some years I was wondering what it could be? My only guess is some sort of
    searching metal detector thingy as used at airports etc.

    Looks like a search tool to me, dunno if I can say our usual name for it or not?

    Either that or a big gay American knife

    Good God! he laughed, and slowly filled his pipe,
    Wondering why he always talked such tripe.

    He had bought a large map representing the sea,
    Without the least vestige of land:
    And the crew were much pleased when they found it to be
    A map they could all understand.
