What detector for blind person?

[Ed Osmar]

I am trying to get my wife to go detecting with me. I have a MXT and just got an Excalibur ll to play in the water with so I can start her on the MXT. She would only be on dry sand, parks, yards and fields. I am thinking that a pin point coil would be better than DD and a detector that had various sounds would be better as visual screens won't work. Any Blind detectors out there, what do you use?

Ed,
Welcome to Treasure Net and kudos to you for this 'new idea' and your 'reaching out' effort to get your wife to experience and share with you this great hobby.
I look forward to reading of your wife's successes.
Don.......

Tesoro with slight mod.

Is your wife blind? Sorry to hear that. No worries, I never look at the screen and find a lot of goodies at night. I can detect and recover coins blindfolded with ease. You see, the coil has 20/20 vision, even at night. Now if she were deaf, game over.

I would see pinpointing as more of an issue as opposed to using a detector. Going from standing and getting a good signal to on your knees digging where it sounded off would be difficult. Perhaps something fabricated on coil that feeds thru the center that is long enough to be pushed into the ground and then followed with your hand down to find the location it entered the soil.

Tesoro is a good choice

I think shed be fine her other senses are most likely far better then ours.
