Just got back from local lake which set an all time low today...It was 107 degrees but with a good breeze and down by the water was only about 102! I was using the Tesero Tejon and Troy Shadow X2 with CleanSweep...Will be back at it tomorrow & only need my Lesche to dig anywhere that is not grass.

100-107 is NOT the problem....But the humidity is a problem....
That's why I live the Mojave desert....

i can take the heat pretty good. its the dang hard dirt in the Ga parks that get me. you have to take a huge screwdriver and hammer it in the dirt near a target and pry it up. trying not to tear up the grass. it could be worse, two feet of frozen snowy ground. course right now, i bet it would help you guys and gals.

Right there with ya'll.
Live in North Louisiana..Oh My lord its hot.I think we will break the record by sunday.
The only thing is the humidity hasnot been as bad this summer like usual.
It was 106 today.Haven't hunted in over 2 months.I work out in it all week and the only thing I want to do is suck up some AC
on the weekends.

Boy howdy, it's just miserable here for sure. I just got back here to Texas from a weeks vacation to Maine and I sure didn't miss the heat a bit. I try to detect in it but it's just not worth it right now.

Same here for me, i can't take the heat like i did when i was younger...

But, in my Vaquero manual,, it says, Optimum Temperature Range 30 deg. F to 100 deg. F........
With my white Blazer, with windows up and at 100 deg F out side its 145 + deg. F inside.
Heat is not good for the detector or the coils....
I have heard of people leaving their detectors in hot cars, then only to wonder why they don't work right any more.
If I remember right, the 8" brown coil could be out of tune if left in a hot trunk to long, but the white 8x9 coil could take more heat before it lost its tune...

I have heard that the temps would stay high and no big rain or no rain unless there were some Hurricanes that brought in some rain.
I would like some rain,, but not if someone has to have a Hurricane...

HH...BJ

I was a clerk at a post office in New Mexico and in the afternoon I'd check in the carriers. I moved a check-in cage close to the back door that was left open so the wind could come through on their super hot summers. I remember when those carriers would line up that the wind would blow over them and I'd wonder, "don't these guys believe in showering....don't they ever use deodrant?" The BO was incredible. Then...I transferred over to being a carrier myself. I remember standing in that same line with carriers standing behind me and I also remember feeling how nice that breeze felt on my wet and sweated skin BUT....I don't remember smelling any BO anymore!!!

 

[cowtownkid]

Another Record Day...107 dg. Broke the old record of 106 set in 1948... And another record low for local lake since 1957...

Hi BR 549, I know Texas, North La, are tuff in the Summer for sure! Ben there!. I was raised in South W.Ark and spent the last 50 years in South Miss..Though the humidity here is always thick as a wet blanket, the heat isn't so bad as it could be because being close enough to the coast, a bit of Sea Breeze "almost" always comes up mid morning between 9:00 & 10:00. That is why I remember "so well", the Ark. heat! Only Summer breeze I ever remember in S Ark. was when a Tornado was passing through. South Miss. isn't that good of a trade off, as now my summer breeze sometimes comes in with a hurricane , and a hundred tornados to boot.. Lol, not to be complaing though , I done got old enough to know the heat could do me in so I just do like all the rest of us Southern diggers and be thankful for the AC, Kinda weird too with Southern diggers waiting for Winter, and the Northern diggers always waiting on Spring. That's a good thing though because that way there is always someone somewhere digging year round to share their finds and stories with those that are waiting for the weather to change.I remember though when I was a young dude I never gave the weather a thought.Winter, Summer, rain or shine. When digging fever set in, I lit out! Some guys now are like that I bet so Y'all be careful, and those will be your good ole days!! HH, Charlie .

I here ya.
I went out yesterday evening for three hours looking and walking.First time I have been out in the woods.Was walking a 1840's road out looking for sign from a couple house places.
It was only a hundred .This is the first time in three months I have did anything to do with detecting.I will be 50 this year and the heat just works on me big time.Am so looking foward to some temps in the eighties and rain to go with it.
Patiently waiting.
