Michael Koopmans is a Trekkie and dedicated collector of the most obscure and bizarre items of Star Trek merchandise. Yes, we are all familiar with the Spock helmet, an ongoing source of mirth on the internet for the past decade. But did you know about the Star Trek metal detector?Yes, this is a real metal detector that has been branded as an authentic, licensed Star Trek tool with the application of a few decals. Now you can go metal detecting on the beach, just like Scotty must have done at some point....
I bought one of my favorite star trek items from Morgan Gendel, the writer of Inner Light and Starship Mine from TNG at a convention one year. He hand made replica flutes from The Inner Light and was selling signed ones. It was cool to have not only the flute but the fact it was hand made by the guy who wrote the episode is so cool
