For those who have everything: Treasure Seekers’ Metal Detecting Sandals
These treasure-detecting sandals can locate metal that's up to two feet underground.
When times are tough, searching for buried treasure doesn’t seem like such a bad idea. Now “beachcombers” can leave that “cumbersome metal-detecting equipment” at home. Treasure Seekers’ Metal Detecting Sandals are a lot less obvious—and a “cinch to use.” Strap the small battery pack, powered by a nine-volt battery, to your right leg and attach its cord to the sandal via a USB plug. “Then head out for a stroll.” A copper coil built into the sandal helps locate metal that’s up to two feet underground.
