7am
9.5 degrees, still put the heater on though it was nice outside as there wasn’t
any wind to chill you.
I
have got the gold bug so I was off detecting by 8am. Steve headed off in the
truck to try and find some bigger nuggets. Jeff went for a wander and I headed
to his patch. I slowly gridded it and got some targets which I put rocks around
so Jeff could check them with his detector.
When he came back I called him up and he couldn’t get any signal with
his machine over my target. I had two together so I dug them up and then found
there were two more right beside each other so got 4 out of one spot which was
right beside where he had dug some. At least I am not taking his gold as he
can’t detect these ones. Each detector has its own special thing – mine is
little bits in mineralised ground!!
I
had another target so I let Jeff use my detector to dig it out. At least he has
his first one for the day. He headed off in his car and I carried on. In the
end I got 8 nuglets for 1.35 grams.
Steve
came back with 4 nuglets (smaller than mine I might add) and a piece of quartz
with the gold hanging off one end.
Poor
me, still have to do the domestic duties even though I am out slaving getting
gold too!! I had put a silverside on a breakfast so we had that and salad for
lunch then I put a lamb stew in the Ecopot. Not much family tree work getting
done now I have gold fever!!
I
headed up to Steve’s patch and got 5 more off that for 0.75 grams so 2.1 gram
total for the day.
Steve
got 1 more then he took my detector for a spin and came back with one from
right beside my 4 in a row in Jeff’s patch!! Nobody gets it all. Jeff didn’t
have any luck detecting so went for a drive up to Mosquito Creek where we will
head to next.
Another
lovely night by the fire then into the van to write up my blog.
