four hour hunt on sunday june 27

Didn't take long for the class of 2010 to lose their charm, did it?   

Nice finds.

(I know it's all relative, and I know I don't have to put up with the humidity, but I'd kill for 85 degree weather---we've got that before 9am---and it's starting to put a damper in my hunting    )

Thanks for sharing...hope the elementary school yields some real old coins for you

Hey Bottlefreak,

    I am located in New Mexico. On my last hunt it was in the high nineties. It did rain that day and cooled thing off quite nicely in the late afternoon. There are trees where I hunt so I can sit under one and cool off which is nice. the last time my Grandson and I went on a hunt near Socorro New Mexico we did not wear to much sun protection. It was over 100 degrees that day and we came back looking like lobsters with the back of our necks and arms really bad! This last Wed I went out but I was wearing long sleeves, neck shade, gloves and also had my face covered. It was hard to get used to but I feel it was worth it to not get burnt this time. The next day I made a trip to REI and purchased a very light weight long sleeve shirt designed to keep the sun out and at the same time wick away sweat. It is truly feather light! I make my own neck shades so they will cover our faces now as well. Gloves have always been a given for digging. I also purchased a pair of light weight hiking pants that you can very easily turn into a pair of shorts without having to take off your boots. I hope this new stuff will help with the heat. I am going to try it out on our next outing.

Good hunting to you!!

Ironman
