7am
8.7 degrees – heater on today. Clear sky but still windy.
23
months on the road.
Sent
Steve Foster a text for his birthday.
Bit
of a slow start to my gold collection with only one bit of lead shot to show
for the morning!! I wandered up and down a few slopes but no luck. Jeff got 12
nice size nuggets off one slope so after he had finished I asked if I could go
over it with the 2300. I got 2 by lunch then 4 more before smoko so I was
happy. My biggest one was 0.37g.
Jeff
said if I get anymore to let him try his detector over it before I dig it up.
Steve only got one little one.
Still
windy but a lot warmer, 25 degrees in the van. I reached my 1 gram for the day
so put my batteries on charge and went up the hill to do my blog upload etc.
Got an email from Jetstar and they have changed our flight times by an hour
which doesn’t worry us.
The
boys kept detecting. Jeff got one more and Steve got 5 from a spot where I had
dragged my chain around the edge and the
gold was in the middle!! He then got one more off Jeff’s patch giving him a
total of 1.89grams for today.
The
wind has stopped so Steve went back to the creek and got some firewood. I dug
out the pit then we put the detector over it, just in case there was gold
hiding under there. Great to have a fire again.
Beautiful
clear night and I was still in my shorts – so nice by the fire but it didn’t
take long to get chilly again.
