The world is waiting to be discovered. Sometimes we just need to change our perspective. The Discovery event at The Foundary is all about rekindling the human passion for adventure and exploration. With selections from Nikon, Meade, Celestron, Swarovski, and others, this sale has some great gifts for the budding explorer. I think a young boy would love to have some of these items as gifts–

Distinguish from iron and other metals at the touch of a button and adjust the shaft to accommodate growing boys and girls. This entry-level metal detector offers countless hours of engaging exploration. A perfect gift for getting your child away from the video games and into the great outdoors, this metal detector sells for $49.

This spyglass has some functional components, but I think a kid would think this is the coolest thing ever! Great for make believe and pirate play, this piece fits neatly in a coat pocket, extends to 13 inches, and looks about as cool as a spyglass can. Combining the look of antiquity with the performance of modern optics, it has 25x magnification, superior lens coating, and relief for eyeglass wearers. Both fun and useful, it sells for just $19!

Overall, you’ll be hard pressed to find a way to explore many areas of science in such a user-friendly way. You get the microscope AND the telescope in a set for just $59.
