Description
Józef Stanisław Kosacki (21 April 1909–26 April 1990) was a Polish professor, engineer, and inventor, and he served in the Polish Army as an officer during WW2. He is most famous for inventing his mine detector. While he was staying in St Andrews, at the Ardgowan Hotel, he was testing his developing mine detector at the West Sands beach. Sadly, although he received a letter of gratitude from King George VI, he never received any significant recognition for this invention, nor he made any financial profit out of it.
