Abstract
Embodiments disclosed herein relate to a Detection Tool for use by personnel tasked with locating Improvised Explosive Devices ('IEDs'). The Detection Tool is preferably constructed of a non-metallic and non-conductive material so as to reduce the risk of accidental triggering of electrical explosive devices. The Detection Tool is shaped in order to penetrate surfaces, such as compacted roadways or other thoroughfares, where IEDs may be concealed. Additionally, the Detection Tool may include measurement indicators as well as attachment means so as to be easily integrated with other gear carried by users of the Detection Tool.
