End of the Season for Me

[AusTexDude]

Once the temp hits 82 and above being in the sun is just too much. Starting next week the temps shoot up into the upper 90s and will not be able to detect again until the fall most likely.

I may get a day in here and there for the next couple weeks during rain but other than that it's pack er up time.

Yup, today will be my last day probably. This is what I'm up against.

Ouch...that's toasty. Time to brew up a big jug of sweet tea, crank up the A/C
and find a good movie to watch.

Now for Phase 2... selling all the hundreds and hundreds of fossils we have found, along with all the lead I have recast into new sinkers. In just 4 months I have pulled over 50 lbs of lead out of that lake.

Central Texas... This heat is not normal for this time of year. The average high is around 88

 

[Mine Shaft]

Heck no that's not normal ATD. Be safe in the heat.

Hell it was 103-106 in Southern cal yesterday and is going to be in the high 60s this week coming up crazy weather.

 

[AusTexDude]

Where I detect there is very little tree cover. 85 in the direct sun is very hot. I call the sun "The Tormentor" because it just sits up there relentlessly cooking you. Because of ants I am forced to wear long pants so there is no escape from the heat.

 

[Mine Shaft]

I have shade and a River on my claim but as you mention when it gets in the 80s I just cant take it like I use to.

 

[Mine Shaft]

That High was parked right over us yesterday and today its parking right over you.

Just detect early morning or evening when the sun is low or setting.

In the summer the temp barely gets below 85 at night. I can get away with some early detecting for a while if I can drag myself out of bed at 6am but I am not really a morning person lol

 

[Mine Shaft]

That's what I try to do, go early that works most of the time lol.

Gold is a big motivator I just wish I could count Grams instead of Colors lol but I will keep trying.
