7am
21 degrees, cool breeze and clear blue sky.
Headed
back up into Upper Mosquito Creek again and kept going to the southern end of
the lease. Found some old timer shafts and detected around them – nothing but
old bits of steel.
Back
to the first spot we tried on Father’s Day. We wandered around trying other
slopes etc then I went back over where Steve had found the 4 nuglets. Amazingly
I found 8 more around his holes in an area of a few metres – how did we miss
them as I had gone over it the last time too!! Steve found 3 nicer sized ones
on the other slopes. I went over to where he had two beside each other and I
found another two – pays to double check!!
Explored
other tracks but no more gold. Steve’s 3 came to 2.69 grams while my 10 only
got 1.35 grams but we are happy again as that was 4 grams for the day.
Lovely
evening by the fire though the southerly breeze is getting cooler so closed up
the van at bedtime.
