The practice of metal detection is traditionally exclusively male, commonly associated with weird geeks who tramp around the beach at sunset after everyone has gone.Occasionally, you read stories about metal detectors who find wedding rings and return them to their owners.That’s probably because the last thing a male metal detecting fan would ever need is a wedding ring!

But now that image can be cast aside and you can contemplate gifts for her that provide an entry to the world of “mine sweeping for money” thanks to stylish treasure seeker sandals.   They have the appearance of regular beach footwear, but have a nifty pack that straps to the leg and beeps every time your feet pass over a priceless Roman coin, ring, can, anything metal in fact.Ok, the thigh pack does look a bit like your iPod’s slipped way down or you’ve gone mad and strapped a walkie-talkie to your leg, but that’s got to be better than combing the beach with something that looks like it should be used in Basra.

Birthday gifts for men and women can now encompass the lucrative world of treasure seeking and if you want to be even more discrete (or not let on to anyone that you’ve found that buried hoard) the beeping alarm can be switched off and you can set the pack to vibrate instead.Such subtlety may well buy you precious time while you unearth the treasure under the guise of merely making a sandcastle.What’s more, these crafty sandals make hunting for riches and treasure amongst the shingle a much more agreeable prospect.

Gadgets that are also functional items of clothing are as rare as hen’s teeth.With these sandals, you can combine strolls in the surf with finding the fabulous hoard you’ve dreamed of. When you’ve detected all you want to detect, you can simply unplug the detector pack and use these durable and comfortable foot-bound money-makers as normal sandals as well as a potential ticket to a goldmine!
