Quite a bad photo, but I really want to share this curiosity. It appears to be a pedal-electric hybrid bicycle that has been heavily modified into a rider metal detector. It looks like a clever build, with a two-wheeled front end supporting a large detector on a frame that can be raised or lowered. Battery power for the electronics. It has a hand-held metal detector mounted on the back (for more precise work?), a shovel and even a headlight. Is that a satellite dish in front?
Israeli soldiers will not miss any opportunity to make Palestinian life harder. On this photo you can see Givati soldier checking little girls' school bags. Some soldiers order them to do it again when they go to the nearest shop to buy sweets or something to drink and cross checkpoint two times in few minutes. Official reason - security measures.

On 22nd Sep. 2013, heavy clashes took place across Hebron, leading to the injury and arrest of numerous Palestinians as well as the death of an Israeli soldier. As part of Sukkot celebrations, the street outside checkpoint 56 leading to Yatta was closed by Israeli military and border police. The army announced by military order that all shops on the street would have be closed and cars would have to be moved between 11am and 3pm, to ensure safe passage for settlers and Jewish visitors for a pilgrimage to the cave of Otniel ben Knaz, located on said road (what was clear provocation). Crowds of Palestinians, internationals and journalists gathered to witness and protest against this breaking of the Hebron agreement, signed in 1997 between the Palestinian Authority and the Israeli government and dividing the city into zones H1 and H2 under PA and Israeli military control respectively. The road to Yatta falls under Palestinian Authority control and is therefore illegal for Israelis to access. The clashes in Bab Al-Zawiyeh began around 11.30 am when Palestinian youths began to throw stones at the invading Israeli army and border police. The occupation forces responded with tear gas canisters, stunt grenades and plastic-coated steel bullets. Live ammunition was eventually used against resisting protestors and there are reports of several Palestinian men being treated for gunshot wounds.

Israeli soldiers will not miss any opportunity to make Palestinian life harder. On this photo you can see Givati soldier looking how Palestinian pupils are passing checkpoint. Even if they are really young they have to pass metal detector, show what they have in their school bags when it's beeping. Some soldiers order them to do it again when they go to the nearest shop to buy sweets or something to drink and cross checkpoint two times in few minutes. Official reason - security measures.

Famous checkpoint 56 view from H1 (Palestinian part of Hebron - for more details see The Hebron Protocol). It blocks access from Bab al-Zawiye (todays city center) to the Shuhada St. and part of the city which used to be city center (now it's empty). Checkpoint is open only for pedestrians and leads to area where Palestinians can't drive their cars and some streets are fully closed for them.

Here are some more picture of my find while metal detecting. The video will tell you the story, but the quality is poor, so maybe the pictures here can give you a better idea what I found in the woods.
Picking up all of these coins in an area that was about 4ft by 5ft most under leaves and sticks, but some were in the ground too, took over two hours. Filling in my pockets, using plastic bags, a towel anything I could find to carry these.

Four individual panels serve as the backdrop for this tranquil scene of a woman sitting on the beach with a dog, a metal detector, and a swim raft. On a 1982 trip to Venice, Fischl began taking photographs of small vignettes, details of which he would later incorporate into joined canvases such as that seen here. The artist once said that he viewed these layered paintings as a way to "show how he arrived at his narratives." Combining source images from various locales, these works evoke the scattered nature of memory and often include an element of voyeurism.

Inmates returning from workshops were made to pass through what some called the "mechanical stool pigeon." Concealed iron or steel tools or knives would set the alarm buzzing. To deceive the metal detector, inmates sometimes fashioned shives (narrow blades) from brass or plastic which could not be detected by the machine. Guards often searched inmates at random for weapons or contraband that may have slipped past the metal detector.
Alcatraz Island, a 22-acre island located 1.5 miles offshore in San Francisco Bay, has served as a lighthouse, a military fortification, and a prison. In 1972, the island often referred to as The Rock, became a national recreation area operated by the National Park Service as part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA) and is currently open to tours.
The island was first discovered in 1775 by Spaniard Juan Manuel de Ayala, who charted the bay and named it "La Isla de los Alcatraces," or "The Island of the Pelicans." The island's earliest recorded owner is Julian Workman was the island's earliest recorded owner, given it by Mexican governor Pio Pico in 1846 to build a lighthouse. Following the acquisition of California in 1848, the United States fortified the island for positioning of coastal batteries. When the civil War broke out in 1861, the island mounted 85 cannons (increased to 105 by 1866) and served as the San Francisco Arsenal. Alcatraz never fired its guns but was used to imprison Confederate sympathizers. In 1867, a brick jailhouse was built and in 1868, Alcatraz was designated a long-term detention facility for military prisoners--a role it prominently played during the Spanish-American War.
After the 1906 Earthquake, civilian prisoners were transferred to Alcatraz, and the facilities were slowly expanded at the beginning of the century. Construction on Major Reuben Turner's huge concrete main cell block was completed in 1912. The Fortress was deactivated as a military prison in 1933 and transferred to the Department of Justice, becoming a Federal Bureau of Prisons federal prison the following year. During its 29 years of operation, the penitentiary claimed no prisoners had ever successfully escaped--36 prisoners were involved in 14 attempts; 23 were caught, six were shot and killed, and three were lost at sea and never found. Alcatraz held such notable criminals as Al Capone, Robert Franklin Stroud (better known as the "Birdman of Alcatraz"), George "Machine Gun" Kelly, James "Whitey" Bulger, and Alvin "Creepy Karpis" Karpowicz (who served more time at Alcatraz than any other inmate).
Far more expensive to operate than other prisons, Alcatraz was closed on March 21, 1963 by Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy. From 1969-1971, the island was occupied by a multi-tribal group of Native Americans, culminating in the Trail of Broken Treaties.

Crazy weather today -- must've been over 60F, 16C. Even the wind, when it gusted, was almost warm! It was lovely yesterday, on Thanksgiving -- just in time, after a week of horribleness.
Anyway, went to sit on the beach to watch the tide come rolling in... and spotted a cadre (covenant?) of treasure hunters. They were all wandering around the same area, and they all had this genius digger/scooper thing (in his left hand) that could easily cut through the top few inches of sand. Kind of like those grippy hands that trash/litter collectors use... but for digging up treasure instead.
It was strangely relaxing to watch them swing their metal detectors over 'beeps' in ever-decreasing arcs to find their quarry...
I decided to give our Troopers the day off. Looks like they're having a little fun with their new metal detector. I hope they decide to share!
For all you true Star Wars fans, today's Alternative Version is pretty funny, I suggest you check it out!
Enjoy!

Saila, a 29-year-old mother of two, is one of a growing number of women in Sri Lanka that have been recruited and trained by the UK de-mining charity HALO Trust - supported by UKaid funding from the Department for International Development.
Working seven hours a day in the baking heat, manual de-mining is slow, painstaking work. Scanning a square metre at a time with a metal detector, every beep over a certain strength means a slow, careful dig into the parched, solid earth - finger-tip work in case she’s found another mine. Working alongside men, with equal status, dozens of women like Saila are slowly helping clear mines from hundreds of acres of prime rice-producing land.
There are an unknown number of land mines littering the once verdant landscape of the Vanni. They’re a deadly legacy of the violent 26-year-long conflict between the Sri Lankan government and the LTTE (Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, or ‘Tamil Tigers’) movement, which finally ended in May 2009. Saila knows all too well just how violent this conflict was; it cost her husband his life:
"I used to work as a co-ordinator in a rehabilitation centre, but had to leave because of the conflict. Then my husband was killed in the fighting. Now my mother has to look after my daughters, while I do this work”.
