Blarrghh...technicalities will be the death of me! Anyways, the pressure on the earth produces a unique signature. The signature changes with the placement of the object, along with the weight, height, density, ect of said object. By miniscule changes in the signature, it is possible to tell if an object is moving, changing shape, or other things. For people, this can help him learn the positions of limbs, body parts, and help tell him what equipment the person is carrying.(This was harnessed only after nineteen years of training, where this was the only way he could 'see' for his entire life, so he got very good at it) Further more, he senses vibrations within the earthen elements(including metal) and so can tell when one is armored...or at least, can tell immediately if the boots are made of metal. If not, he will search for other various signatures to tell him why the person is heavy, but in the situation of a fight, wearing armor is the simplest solution. Technically, to Angelo, Eli appears to have an extraordinarily blunt hand and a long, sharp arm, but common sense dictates that these are not his actual body parts, but a sword and shield.(Unless Eli's boots are made of metal, in which case he would know the basic outline of metal components that are touching) And remember, you always have to calculate magic into the equation.
