Summer Gift Idea: Metal Detecting Sandals

Times are tough and this device could be the best gift for your summer vacations ever: you can combine your leisure time on the beach with valuable metal collection using this “discreet” detector attached to sandals. The manufacturer describes the technology as a copper coil built into the right sandal and powered via a battery pack strapped to the calf, the ring creates a magnetic field, when a metal object is detected up to 2′ underfoot, it distorts the field and triggers an alert via the battery using a flashing red light, a gentle vibration or a buzz.

You can get theMetal Detecting Sandals from Hammacher for $59.95.
