How about a pair of shoes with metal detector coils moulded into the soles. a wire could run up the leg to a belt mounted control box. Detecting could be achieved continuosly, closer to the ground and more importantly without anyone aware of what you ard doing, i.e landowners

       Heh. This is pretty good + . Perhaps the shoes could vibrate at different levels depending upon the mass and proximity of the "find."

       "Er, your shoe is beeping."
"Are you wearing metal detector shoes or are you just happy to see me?"
"Good lord, the Metro has an odd vibration today."
  

       Hmmm. What happens when you go through the metal detectors at the airport?

       Hmm Stealth metal detectors. But wouldn't the landowners notice when you start digging bottle caps up in their yards?

       Not once someone invents the Stealth Shovel.

       Have a small switchblade action screening shovel slide out from the front of the other shoe like a cat litter shovel only with a pointy center to match the shoes profile. You could get coins while the owner watched if you just told him you have bad athlete's foot itch problems.
