Sure you might look a bit like a huge dork strolling down the beach in these Metal Detecting Sandals ($60), but you'll also be having the last laugh as they detect buried metal treasures. These high-tech sandals use beat frequency oscillation technology coming from a built-in copper coil in the right sandal that is powered via a battery pack that straps to your calf. All you need to do is take a leisurely walk on the sand and if it detects any metal artifacts like coins or jewelry up to 2' below the surface, you'll be alerted with a flashing red light and gentle vibration or an audible buzz. Most likely you'll find an empty beer can or something, but you never know... (via Michael Kiely)

HOw cool is this?!?! Everybody likes finding lil treasures wen they go to the beach. Now u can do it without even tryin. Yea it may look a lil strange wit that thing around your leg but hey suck it up! Just throw on sum sweats and score some hidin treasures! Plus itz betta than lookin goofy wit the giant metal detecting stick.

When I first read the name of this product I thought the drugs had kicked in (again). Perfect for lazy treasure hunters or for those with abnormal fear of stepping on metal while wandering about the beach or desert or other sandy terrain. The gentle vibration feature sounds like fun though.

Great find for the sneaky scavenger.
