Remote Control Metal Detecting Dune Buggy

Not only do the kids get a rugged, cool-looking R/C toy with this remote-control metal-detecting dune buggy, but if you’re lucky, they may even find enough coins to recoup your investment in the thing. The 11 1/2″ long dune buggy runs off a 9-volt battery (not counting the four AA batteries you need for the remote), and has the ability to detect iron-based metals at depths up to 4 feet. A handful of faux metal doubloons and two plastic digging tools come in the box, but the real fun will be in finding the loot you haven’t buried yourself.

$49.95 from Hammacher Schlemmer.
