In November 2009 I returned to Jordan as part of The Great Arab Revolt Project, sadly when re-examining my luggage Jordanian customs had not put back the upper stem to my Safari and despite checks at the airport the item could not be located. Without going into a lengthy story Minelab brilliantly flew a replacement out to me which not only enabled me to metal detect, but also is directly responsible for the finding of several hundred coins and artefacts. One of these belonged to a 2.95 inch Mountain Gun, and was actually a fuse protector for one of the shells. Shaped like a small propeller it fitted onto the base of a shell reducing the chance of a detonation should the shell be accidentally dropped etc.
