Hello

Well finally was able to get this post on here. Everytime I tried uploading pic. It said network unavailable on my phone. Maybe nokta should make cell phones too.
Anyway its been very hot and dry. But woke up this morning to a couple sprinkles and cloudy. Never expected this. So I got my detecting partner up and said lets go.
We went back to my cousins property were we still have some detecting area left. Have to crawl in alot of places. Found 4 pcs with fors gold with nokta pointer on the assist. Sniped 1 piece out of iron trash patch. Bigger piece weighed 2.1 dwt. Total 2.5 dwt. Clouds lasted till 11 am . Then back to hot again. Was brief but had a good run while it lasted. Now back to our normal heat with a chance this thurs. Of breaking our all time record of 118 degrees. Luckily im heading for the coast for 4th of july weekend.
Good luck!

Temps up here have been record setting as well, and we've had 90º+ highs for the
past week, and it's expected to get even hotter this weekend. With the little bit
of rain we've had this Spring the humidity is low, so it almost feels like Calif. heat.
Even weirder is how it's staying warm at night; it's 1:15 in the morning and a balmy
68º.

The bad side is that unlike Calif., very few homes are built up here with central A/C.
