Lose Friends with Metal Detecting Sandals
If finding buried treasure along the beach is more important to you than having friends then these Hammacher Schlemmer Metal Detecting Sandals are just for you. Not for the style or fashion conscious you simply strap on the conspicuous metal detecting unit to your leg and plug in the other end to your sandal.
Once properly strapped-in stroll around the beach until you find One-Eyed Willy’s secret buried gold. People will laugh and stare at you, but when you start digging after your sandals start beeping people will shut up and start to take notice…as you uncover the buried Pepsi can that someone left. Hey, in some states a can is worth 10 cents. One man’s garbage is another mans treasure!
FuncFash-ness: 3.5/10
- Functional: 1.5/5 (metal detectors are kind of cool, but I can’t imagine this is actually better than a real metal detector)
- Fashionable: 2/5 (pretty boring sandals, and the eyesore of a battery pack is sure to make you a lonely person on the beach, that is until you find treasure)
