Best time for metal detecting around Georgia. Late Fall and winter. Get out my cold weather gear, we might get temperatures in the low 30's soon. (this is where you laugh).
In the summer we are blessed with jungle like weeds, rains, high humidity and temperatures in the high nineties. If that is not enough there are the mosquitos, yellow jacket (worse than snakes because they can catch you when you run) nest buried in the ground were we swing, snakes especially water moccasins, copperhead (the worst) and rattle snakes. We also have coral snakes, but you would have to stick your nose close to their mouth to get them to bite you. Momma deer with fawns who will challenge you in a heart beat. Did I say rain, yes spring and early summer, digging in the mud. Late summer early fall ground is dry and like concrete, especially the red clay. So now you see why we brave 30 degree temperatures in the south to go metal detecting in the winter. We wrap up in our goretex jackets, wool gloves, insulated underwear and thick socks in our boots to brave the 30 degree weather. And of course a thick wool watch cap and ear muffs and wool gloves.
