6.30am
16.6 degrees, just a few clouds around.
Rang
Suzanne to wish her a happy birthday. Looking forward to catching up with
everyone when I get home.
Gave
Steve a haircut so he will be fine while I am gone. He went across the road to
the other side of the lease and I went to more turned over land. Found a little
nuglet then marked a few targets to Kev & Linda to try. Kev came back with
me but unfortunately my targets were just rubbish. I left Kev to continue
around where I got the nuglet and I went further over. I didn’t find too much
rubbish then I got a screamer. As I wanted a rest from swinging I decided to
dig it and out came a nice nugget, Yeah. Looked like a lamb chop and the other
nuglet was the potato!!
Called
to Kev which inspired him to dig screamers and it got one on top of the windrow
but then lost it as he scraped the dirt away. Turned out it was a rock sitting
on top which had a vein of gold visible. He has christened his detector. Left
Kev looking for more.
No
luck for Steve. Had lunch then got the stew ready for dinner then back to the
scrapes. Perfect temperature today, 29 degrees.
Kev
smashed the rock and out came a beautiful nugget – so happy for him that it was
a nice size.
Steve
created a new handle for his detector, as his previous handle had broken so he
wanted a back up. No more gold for today.
Another
lovely arvo around the fire with lightning flashing in the east and west but it
was all clear over us. Only saw two satellites though – must be on the other
side of the world!!
Celebrated
Kev’s first gold nugget with chocolate hot cross buns and icecream – he was in
heaven.
