an acquisition company has owned them for five years, and after making a pile of money they sold to a company involved with technology. Expect no changes.

Do you have any idea about the detector companies total unit count per year, even better if you knew their quantities of their best sellers or is that sort a thing classified, haha.

Well..........you can somewhat read between the lines.

As reported by Codan, Minelab is:

Grossing ~$50M/yr
Profit before taxes ~$10M/yr
Paying 190 employees worldwide.

Old school manufacturing ratio is your lowest price to distributors is about 3X your manufactured cost per unit. So if you can make a guesstimate of the average cost per unit to a distributor across their entire product line, then you may get in the ball park.
