I had a deaf friend who detected while holding his free hand over the speaker. Another friend rigged up a small handheld vibrating device that plugged into the phone jack, and it worked fine; however, he still preferred to use the speaker method. The detector was a Garrett with a large meter, but he didn't find that particularly helpful either.

You bet! I would guess that he missed some smaller &/or deeper targets due to weak signals, but he certainly made plenty of good finds. Unfortunately, he passed away some time ago; otherwise, I'm sure he would have welcomed the chance to pass along a few tips to your friend.

Whites make a Water machine for the beach. It has three lights on it. One for iron, one for rings and the other for coins. It's called the Beach Hunter ID . HH Art...

Got a ID they are great. Would work best if he would hunt at night. You can see the Id great at night.

Vibra-phone 280 is for you. No tools needed. Just clip it on to your detector and plug it in to the headphone jack in place of your headphones

I have the advantage of being near kellyco, I go there about once a month and look around, It really is a metal detector superstore, It also has a metal detector/ treasure hunting museum, which is interesting in itself., Also the people that work there are full of good Ideas.. You also run into Pro Treasure hunters, I met some of Mel fishers divers the last time i was there

Just wanted to pass along some info that I found...I have a friend about 25 years old that is deaf and he and I hunt with Bounty Hunter Pioneer 202 detectors..he told me he can feel the vibration of the unit whenever he gets a signal..plus it has a digital meter with a arrow that moves under the target on the screen that it falls under(pulltab, zinc penny,dime, quarter, etc)....he swears by his and is very happy..before that we found a man in Garland,Texas...Jay's Cache P.O. Box 472531-LT Garland,TX 75047-2531 that has a unit called a silent search..plugs into the headphone jack..every time it finds an acceptable target it flashes a red LED light...might work for your friend that is deaf...just thought I would pass this along to you to consider...hope it helps...he has an ad in Lost Treasure magazine if you want to see if would work..thanks
