Volodymyr,
I recommend that you listen to Mike Farmer regarding temperatures in
the southwest. Here in Phoenix, it is currently 43° C. In the Franconia
Strewnfield it is 40° C, Gold Basin Strewnfield, 38° C, Holbrook Strewnfield
36° C, and these are cooler than the peak heat temperatures of August. Even if
you are merely visiting Meteor Crater, it is 38° C now, and will be much hotter
in August. The dry lakes are going to be hot too. Red Lake is 36° C, Coyote
Dry Lake is 39° C, and Yelland Dry Lake is 41° C, Lucerne Valley Dry Lake is
37° C. You should change your travel dates to November or December.
I have seen too many visitors collapsed from heat prostration. Good planning is
essential to success.

Understand that this time of year is often fatal for people in the desert.
The heat will easily top 50c. 110F
Nowhere to hide from the sun. Winter is best time for walking around the desert

Hi, Volodymyr.
I will add that most of the desert hunting out here is done by eye, your metal
detector would only be useful in a few, select spot. You'll cover more ground
just with your eye and magnet. Good luck, let us know how your trip goes!
-Michael in so. Cal.

Greetings Volodymyr,
It goes without saying, make sure you take plenty of water and food. Deserts
this time of year can be very unforgiving. A GPS to be able to find your way
out is a good idea. Best wishes!

Hello everyone,
I am planning a week-long meteorite-hunting trip at the end of August to one of
the deserts in the west of the US.
I will use a metal detector and visual/magnet methods to look for meteorites.
Any advice or pointer in the right direction will be appreciated.
We are a family of three and if anyone heading that way at that time with
similar goals, please email me, and we could stick together as companions.
Volodymyr
