Search for zlotys on the beach, or just be the first militaria collector on your block with a USSR-era Polish army surplus mine detector. (That's a Polski armia nadwy?ka möj wykrywacz, we think.) Comes complete with (8) feet of pipe (in 2-foot sections) for getting farther from the mines, a 5-foot cord on the headphones, a log-book, a canvas carrying pouch, and a small box wrench. The downside? It's battery operated (and may even come with one or two dead ones) but not by batteries in any size we recognize, so making it operable could be a challenge.

37923 MINE DETECTOR |
Looks like a cheap kid-sized tennis racket, but brother, this ain't for the kids. It's actually a fine way for adults to work on their upper-body strength and kill bugs at the same time. 18" long, with a 6" wide paddle lined with metal grid. A coil in the handle sends high voltage through the paddle when a button is pushed, hit a bug with it and the bug will bug you no more. But despite the manufacturer's claims that it's safe for people, Scott reports that flesh-paddle contact delivers a nasty shock, nasty enough to say "Keep this away from kids!" We've seen these in other catalogs for about twice the price, so buy it from us. Just be careful with it. 2 AA batteries, not included.

WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
Carry a polished rock collection with you in this lovely pencil, embossed with the AS&S name and logo below a clear-plastic, 5/16" dia tube filled with dozens of tiny, colorful polished stones. (Our sample had 44 of them.) True, the actual writing portion is only 3" of the 7-1/2" long pencil, but taken as a whole, it's a pocket-museum of lapidary arts with a little extra talent. We provide the pink eraser to plug the plastic tube at no extra charge.

Used as is, this 10" x 12" dry-erase message board is overwhelmed by a drug advertisement. Break it apart and you reap a cool mini corkboard 2" x 10" with self-sticking tape on the back, a small foam whiteboard eraser for your favorite teacher with "#1" emblazoned on it, (2) 7" long, probably reusable, self-adhesive magnetic strips, and (possibly) a pointed marker. Or mount it as is and just ignore the pharmacopoeial palaver. Try the classroom pack for only .29 each! A great value!

For running white glove tests. These are closer to a cream color, and are unused UK military surplus liner gloves for N-B-C suits, but they're nicely made, and would be quite useful as emergency opera-wear if you're in white tie but left your gloves in the Bentley. The men's Lg are labeled 8 to 8-1/2, and will be either 9-1/2" or 13" long (our choice) from fingertip to end of glove. These are also very nice painters/craft gloves for folks allergic to latex. Package of (3) pairs.

They call it the IQ Clip, because it remembers better than you do. It's a thin little electronic LCD clock and alarm with a clip (to hook it on a file, belt or pocket) and a magnetic back (to stick it to a file cabinet or kitchen appliance). It has a 15-minute resolution and can be set for any time up to 99 days in the future. The same-day alarm will give you four reminders; the future-date alarm will warn you every 15 minutes for up to 24 hours in advance. It's like your mother, but with a snooze button. We'll choose a 2-3/8" x 3/4" x 5/8" thick IQ Clip in pastel blue or yellow for you.

Or in the lid, actually. Jobar's Money Machine is a clever little bank that counts your change as you put it through the slot on top, and keeps a running total up to $999.99. (That's more than the jar will hold, of course, but you could always attach the lid to a 55-gallon drum.) Measures 6-3/4" tall x 3-1/2" dia in clear plastic, and you add a pair of "AA" batteries. Counts quarters, nickels, dimes, and pennies only.
