Can Allomancers see metal behind themselves?












2















The blue lines that iron and steel Mistings see point towards nearby metal objects whenever an Allomancer is burning one of the two metals. They can see these lines even when they close their eyes. Interestingly, even if their eyes are gouged out, they can still see them.



However, what I'm wondering is, is there any textual evidence that says whether or not Allomancers can see the lines that aren't in their field of vision like lines pointing behind them?
