I take the heat better than most. Lots of people I know cannot stand it. I was detecting from 6:30 (80 degrees) until 10:00 ( 94 degrees). I usually start earlier but sometimes one cannot get in places too early. Like the school today that was open where it's almost always closed. Only one time did I get a low heat stroke problem. I realized it and came home. steve

Our heat is different from your heat here in New England. We get humidity, which gets to you real fast, but our temps are usually lower that 90. I can't Imagine detecting in some of the heat you have there. :shocked04: 100+ days, for a month doesn't sound like you can even dig in that concrete lol You do well considering the shortened hunts you have to do. When I hunt in the high heat and humidity for too long, I just wander around swinging the coil. :twirlingeyes: lol Can't find much that way. Nice hunt Steve
