Thank you Ben and Mike for your valuable advice, I will likely reschedule
the trip for October. They say that when you gamble with safety, you bet
your life.
Can you give any advice on the better place to go meteorite hunting?
Thank you.

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
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!

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.
