8am
14 degrees, foggy and overcast with misty rain. I set about trying to find my
earring – searched the bed, shook all the mats out then went over the shower
block carefully. Found the back of the earring so figured it must come out in
the shower. Steve got out the detector and checked the road from the van to the
shower block. I then had a revelation and checked my loofa and there it was
stuck in the mesh – thank goodness. Steve had given me this pendant and
earrings set many years ago!!
Not
very enticing to go detecting today. I cleaned the floor of the van after I had
shook the mats there was dirt everywhere. The boys looked a maps and Steve
fixed up the single butane burner he had found dumped – the ignitor wasn’t
working so that was easily fixed . It’s amazing what people toss away. I put my
big gold nugget, ha ha, on Facebook and got lots of responses from all my
friends. Rang Mum and Dad and texted the boys with my news.
The
sun came out at lunch but there were still lots of dark clouds in the south.
They decided to go for a drive and try and find the scrapes that the bulldozer
had recently done near here. Before they left a 4WD drove in to the homestead
so they went over to chat. It was a couple from a neighbouring station coming
for a look.
I
worked on my family tree again while the boys went for a drive. Jeff found a
little bit and a rock with gold in it. Steve was just getting exercise!! It
looked like someone did a sneaky bulldoze and detect in a creek area, as they
had pushed it all back again. We had noticed a lot of tree branches broken as
we drove in to the homestead so that would have been the big truck with the
dozer on it.
Got
the fires going as it looked like it would be a bit nicer tonight. Still cloudy
but you could see the half moon through them.
