I’ve been detecting and an idea popped into my head..
My uncle is legally blind, but can see just enough to go on long walks, mow grass, run a snowblower, and things like that, but can’t tell dollar bills apart from a 5 to a 10 he has no idea..
He also places high value on antiques and even has an old farm site on his property with a bunch of old fieldstone foundations in ruins, which would be awesome to detect!
He really loves walking.. Goes walking everywhere all the time.. Even when visiting family he will go off and walk a mile each way to a store..
So bam, idea, let’s buy him a metal detector (and a pinpointer)!
I’m thinking something that works similarly to the Excalibur, with no screen and you rely on sound only for everything..
But maybe a bit less expensive eh? And he won’t be going in the water (highly doubt it)..
I’m thinking even something vintage would be great!
He also takes really good care of his stuff, always cleaning up his stuff, appreciates nice things..
Something:
Turn on and go without a whole bunch of settings (or take the knobs off like an excal)
Something that is VDI by sound, not adjustable preferred, and I think the best would be like a continuously higher frequency with higher VDI, rather than steps, but maybe something like the 50 tone in the Nox would work well.. But not a NOX because too many settings..
It doesn’t have to be anything with amazing performance, but I think he would appreciate a quality vintage machine..
We are thinking about just surprise buying him one as a present..
I used a detector to find his septic tank lids a while back and he still mentions how much that helped him.. So he even already has the thought in his head that metal detectors are useful..
Ideas?
