One summer my cousin had a metal detector and we went all around the beach on vacaiton lookgin for buried treasure. The closest we can to treasure was a bunch of those old-fashioned pull tops from cans and someone’s lost glasses.

A guy in the UK has had much better luck than I ever did with a metal detector. The person was working in a field in south-west England and discovered a pot filled with Roman coins. The pot held 52,500 coins and the estimated worth of the coins today is about $1 million.

You know how it is. You’ve sold a ton of dope or just unloaded a huge shipment of guns, or maybe you’re just a millionaire who doesn’t trust banks and you keep your cash piled high in a secret room. You need to count all of those greenbacks.

Use this Multi-Cash counter & counterfeit detector for counting your multiple currencies. It comes with an onboard OLED count display and a detachable LCD display for customers, and built in UV, Metal and Thread detection for added security.

Here’s a much better way to get rich than the metal detecting sandals and it will take just as long to amass your wealth. Why wear sandals when a robot can do it for you? ThunderBird 007 is the latest version of Let’s Make Robots user Gareth’s metal detector robots.

It’s a great little bot. And when you think about it, robots should search for treasure and earn their own keep and pay for their own parts. The TB-007 features a metal detecting wand, wireless camera and a laser pointer to point out it’s finds. It could get really fun if you run into another guy controlling his own bot and have to have your robots fight for the treasure.

They won’t get you very far very fast as you walk, stop and dig for treasure, but at least you’ll keep busy. If you are already walking around with a metal detector and a large set of headphones, this should improve your look at least.

These metal detecting sandals will help to keep others away from your treasure too, because they are much more subtle than the typical detector. The right sandal connects to a removable battery pack that’s strapped to your calf and a coil in the sandals does all the work.

Someone created an application to detect metal using the Android G1. This isn’t because the G1 is so much more awesome than other smartphones. It’s done through clever use of the built-in compass. A compass detects the magnetic field of the Earth.

Sadly it won’t help you find treasure at the beach. Think of it more like the ones they use in airports. The kind that let you magically pass your hands over someone’s body to see if they are hiding metal somewhere. Which is great I guess. If you are security in the lowest budget airport ever.
