Recommended Posts

It is 10 o'clock at night and we have 39 degrees Celsius here in the south of Spain.  I hope a lot of people are bathing on the beach 😁

I remember 2 or 3 years ago here in France ,  it was in July , 27deg at 11PM , dont know in Fahrenheit sorry ... Too hot to sleep. I decided to go detecting .... And I was  lucky enough to find a very nice merovingian silver coin dating from around +730 in a field at midnight ...  A good day eventually ...

Here in PA it is hot as S**T with humidity in the 80% range. The other day it registered 104 in my truck. But yet I still subject myself to the misery. God help us all.

For higher daily temperatures even with 40+ degrees Celsius ... you have to get used to ... ,, the summer season begins ... this weekend in the Spanish Pyrenees was still a mild 35-36 degrees Celsius ..

....in such a period it is good to detect in better shaded terrain ,, for example in the forest ..., because the fields are too dry ,, and the ground is incredibly hard..

I don't care where your at hot is hot, and then add the humidity and it gets darn hot.

Nice picture of the river, which one is it?

I would be detecting near or in it if I had the chance.
