Do special clothes exist for metal detecting?

[neo]

I was thinking the only two things I fear in the woods is snakes and bees, is there a special cloth that fangs and stingers can't penetrate, also what about gloves or boots, i would imagine you would wear a bee keeper hat with it. Does this exist?

snake boots do indeed exist --they are very commonly used by deer hunters in the south ...and of course you could wear log pants and long sleeved shirt and gloves and a bee keeper type of mesh hat ..you might look a bit odd doing it but if its what makes you happy so be it --just be sure there are no steel toes on your boots when you try to detect ... beep beep beep ...LOL

A pair of new sandals I own has a brand emblem on the sandal and it rings up as a nickel.

Want to guess how long it took me to figure that out lol...

Or how many times I've grabbed my detector while wearing those sandals even after figuring it out?

Or the amount of times I've swept an area after getting a solid NICKEL tone and VDI and then re-swept the area looking for that signal?

Lol...

"Do special clothes exist for metal detecting?" Absolutely they do. For example, if I were to go metal detect an area that I'm not supposed to be in, I wear one of these "Work" outfits. You just gotta metal detect real slow...

Not especially, but I have it on reasonably good authority is it preferable to wear clothes while metal detecting.

If you're worried about snakes, just pick up a pair of gaiters or chaps. If it's not 100 deg. out a simple down jacket with a hood works good! pull the hood up and cinch it up until your nose is all that's sticking up. Pull your hands in and grab the cuffs in. Don't ask me how I know this...........

If you need a good prank, put a spot of contact glue on a penny & stick it in the toe of their boot. Great for getting rid of the friend your hunting partners bring that violate all of the things you just don't do. Oh, if you can't get access to their boots a 1" square of foil between the scuff plate & search coil makes people nuts! Remember folks! Ya just gotta have fun with it!!!!
