It ~s also ~ometimes possible for a pers~n to walk through a known electromagnetic detection ~ystem sufficiently lowly with a ~arget carefully held without raising an alarm. Furthermore, articles tj . provided with the targets can sometimes be slid along the floor in order to bypass the electr~magnetic detection field.
In the majority of applications of the known electromagnetic detection systems, the above ~;~
mentione* methods of attempting to defeat the systems usually require the potential thief to act in a strange manner which is observed. There are however some situations such as in security conscious buildings, for exa~ple computer rooms or data libraries, where the potential thief may not be under constant observation and where it is important not to defeat the system.
It is an aim of the present invention to obviate or reduce the above mentioned problem.

a low frequency strong magnetic ~ield between two ~ntennae formed by th~ ~ame 4. The detection ~p~ara~us 2 is such that persons wishing to remove articles from an ,establishment such for example as a computer ro~m or a data library are required to pass with ~he article through the frame 4. A metall~c target strip on the article is detected by the detection apparatus 2 in a known manner. More specifically, the de~ector apparatus 2 also comprises a control box 6 which is made of metal and which houses transmitter and receiver electronics.
m e transmitter generates a very low frequency strong magnetic field between the antennae, the antennae b~ing basically coils of wires. When the target strip enters the electromagnetic ~ield, it is saturated. The receiver section ~n the control box 6 monitors the characteristics of the target strip under satura~ion and generates an alarm if the characteristics coinoide.
