I think that would be a very big expense. ight vison is not cheap. Just use a head lamp and when you find your target and you get your plug out if you still con not see your find then turn on the lamp for a short time then turn it off again.....Matt

at several local sporting good stores here, they have night vision monocles for $150. And another alternative would be to get a headlamp or LED flashlight with red LED's in them. Theyre bright enough to see, and dont affect your human night vision when you turn it off. You could also use a regular flashlight with a piece or red plastic film over the lens.

Having used a monocular night vision, I would say using a metal dector at the same time would be difficult. Besides it is much safer to detect during the day.

Metal detectors have 20/20 vision, even at night. Bring along a small flashlight, which will be rarely used once you get good at night hunting.

unless it's a moonless night and no lights are in the area, your eyes should adjust to where you don't bump into
things, when you find a target and wish to dig, turn on a small red LED headset. you'll be surprised how much light
it gives off. when you've recovered your target, turn it off and continue

With robotic stuff, I can work at night; sometimes it's even better than daylight.

I use a LED headset, it works really well for me. No one's shot me yet.

A nice one that's cheap goes on the visor of your cap, about $4.
