Hello Again
Due to putting a post in the wrong section can I put it here
Just a question please.
With the concern for magnetic and micrwaves being of influence to metal detectors would non stainless screws on the box eg magnetic be a problem.
Most are SS but the end cover has several of the screws that are magnetic. Look the same but are not.
I assume the others are ss, wondered if the odd screws so close to the circuit boards can cause them to be infuenced.
Thanks
Brett
 
Non metallic screws, nuts no steel safety boots, watches,wedding rings etc. Power lines, electric fences and metal on the end of shoelaces can throw you offtrack.
Hope that solves your problem. :)
 
Wow Jaros I wish my Pizza was delivered that quick.
I cut and pasted it into " Metal Detectors with apology.
Can delete if needed.
Regards

When they got back to camp the lady had gum boots on and when she took them off their was a coin in one gum boot
