Metal Detecting Sandals
Posted on June 8, 2009 by Jamie Slaughter, with 30465 views
If you're looking to uncover hidden treasure, then put your conventional metal detector to the side, and replace it with these pair of metal detecting sandals. Not exactly a trend setter, but a lot more practical than carrying a large pole around with you. The sandals are attached to a small black box, which can be strapped around one of your legs, concealed under your trouser leg.
The right sandal has an inbuilt copper coil, which is powered by the battery pack, which straps around your leg. Once the sandals approach within 2' of a metal object, you will be alerted in one of two possible ways. A light is flashed, and then either a vibration or buzzing noise is emitted. The metal detecting sandals require a 9V battery, which does not come included, but which will supply 6 hours of detecting time.
The sandals come in different sizes, to fit both men and women and can be purchased for $59.95 from Hammacher and Schlemmer.

It's a terrible idea! The cord and usb port are in a place much to easy to snap off.

You may look like your on house arrest but think of how much money you could find. How much does everyone walk but never know whats just under your feet.

Your message here..i think this is a fabulous idea. People walk in places that old fashioned metal detecors don't neccessarily go. This must have taken some time and patience to creat. Kudos from me.
