Well, if you don’t, and I really can’t believe such thing, I also can’t understand how in earth you can still consider yourself a pro when it comes to searching the buried treasures that your grandpa told you about when you were a little kid. It’s not that easy to find those treasures if you’re not perfectly equipped. I’m not speaking from experience, because I have never hunted such fortunes, but it’s logical, you know?



Anyway, if you made up your mind about becoming a pro in the true sense of the word, then you should consider these Metal Detecting Sandals from Hammacher Schlemmer. They aren’t the most stylish sandals that you have ever seen and they won’t help you make a fashion statement, that’s for sure. But you’ll have that unbelievable satisfaction that you managed to complete your metal detecting equipment.



Now, they look kind of goofy, if you ask me, not to mention how you would look when wearing those sandals. But you can’t spare any effort, of any kind, in your attempt to find those treasures. The sandals will help you detect the metal while having a walk on the beach, for example. There’s an integrated copper coil stuffed within the right sandal that gets its power from a battery pack that the user must wrap around the calf.

“Using beat frequency oscillation technology, the ring creates a magnetic field; when a metal object is underfoot – up to 2’ – it distorts the field and the battery pack alerts you to the presence of metal using a flashing red light and either a gentle vibration or a clearly audible buzz.”

These Metal Detecting Sandals run on a 9-volt battery which is not included in the package and provides approximately six hours of operation. Available in both men’s and women’s sizes, the sandals can be purchased from Hammacher Schlemmer for $59.95.
