    "The best overall gold metal detector on the market today is the Minelab CTX-3030. This detector is loaded with all of the features that are important for finding gold. The CTX can run in virtually any ground mineralization environment, thanks to its excellent ground balancing features" Every time we pass through security check up before boarding the flight or on arrival before customs clearance such metal/gold detectors are are made us of. How the passengers tolerate such heavy Gold bars in their private (B0dy parts) is hair raising question !

    This question can be answered by only those who carried soo heavy metal ? Now where to find such people to question them?... what an embarrassing moment it might be when custom officials catch them and tell them to remove the gold where its hidden in front of others ?? Yuckkk....really....why carry such things putting them into shame ? They must have smuggled in the past ....same hope may continue to do so....🙈🙈🙈🙊🙊🙊🙊

    In fact gold smugglers started coming under the radar after Mallus were replaced by Kannadigas and local officers.
