Should you wear headphones where rattlesnkes are known to be?

Just thought of this while detecting an area slightly overgrown. Ever been confronted by a snake (not the two legged kind, the slithery kind) while detecting?

I think.u may want to use ur own judgement on that if ur worried about rattlers no headphones is it worth gettin bit? I know the headphones will let u hear better sounds u could look into some single ear headphones i think.sunray makes them 1, ear using headphones

Snakes don't always rattle. You do swing the coil, and I'd swish that around.

Wear protective clothing.

Either kind of snake deserves attention. In any areas that have some danger to them, I wear my headphones over just one ear.

Exactly or like said 1 ear it

They prevent snake bites on your ears. If your worried wear snake proof boots/chaps/ect. In California they are everywere. Saw 3 on my morning bike ride to work not even in the grass or weeds.

I wear Snake Guards http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/Snake-GaitersSize-17-H-Front12-H-Back-InCanvas-9WUT9?Pid=search and headphones. I have had a few strikes at my coil over the years in Arizona

I was just using my "Rattlers" 1 ear headphones this morning but I wear them for the heat and dogs running up to me in the park

As mentioned above, Gray Ghost makes a set of headphones named "The Rattler" for obvious reasons.
It has only ONE earpiece so that your other ear is not covered and able to hear any "outside" noises.
You can wear your regular headphones and just position one of the earcups behind your ear if you want.

Don't forget your snake charmer either!

Maybe out in the bush you'll find them, but they're hardly "everywhere". I've been hunting for 43 years now and haven't seen even one.

The snakes hereabouts walk on two legs. I wear a Rattler single ear-piece headphone from Detector Pro. Highly recommmended. Cooler in the summer as well.




I have a pair of Black Widows as well, and I'd jump out of my shoes when someone would tap me on the shoulder after walking up behind me and talking and I still had no idea they were there.
