Presented to Minelab by Bill McFarlane from Madderns,the award celebrates a new product released to the market within the last two years that has had significant technical innovation and/or significant impact on its target market. This was the first time since 2003 that the WEF has taken place in Australia.

As a result,the MDS-10 Countermine detector was designed for superior results,combining unique Metal Detection and Ground Penetrating Radar technologies. It is a lightweight and compact alternative to previous dual sensor detectors,while being highly intuitive for users.
