7am
15 degrees, clear sky and strong wind which has blown all night.
Back
to the pending leases again and we explored other areas. I got out of the truck
and was detecting before the others has put on their gear and pinged a little
bit. Seem to do that a bit lately but unfortunately there was no more gold to
be found. One hit wonder I am or is it the gold fairies having a laugh as with
that little bit of gold I get a spring in my step and I am off to find more.
Unfortunately when no more comes I get very weary from swinging my detector for
no reward!! It is like when we are fishing, we have to be catching fish or I
want to shift. Luckily Steve has more patience than me, hence I say he has to
find the patch and I will pick up all the little bits after he gets the big
bits. Hasn’t been working like that lately though.
Ray
managed to find two little bits then Steve got one little ball at the next
spot. Tried another spot but it was full of rubbish.
Back
to the vans for lunch inside away from the flies. 26 degrees in the van, feels
hotter in the sun when we were detecting. The wind has stopped too.
We
went back to the pushings area. I found so many bird shot pellets and was about
to give up when I said ‘just one bit of gold and I will be happy to go home’. I
turned around and got a light signal. I was amazed to find a tiny slither of
gold – well at least I was happy to finish.
More
vans have pulled in and set up camp around the dam area. We had our drinks
again as the sun was setting. I heard the phone ring and it was Erica so we had
a lovely chat. Jodie had rung her to say that Bryan had proposed to her while
they were camping at the Undarra Lava Tubes. Not planning to marry though for a
couple of years – seems to be the trend as that is the same as Jakob and Anna.
Jodie is the first of the Geck grandchildren to get engaged. I sent off a text
to Jodie and will have to ring her another time as they are still camping. David
and Amanda went to Brisbane for the Anzac Day march and he marched with his old
Air Force group. Erica and Terry are heading to Barcaldine to join 799 other
caravanners in breaking a record for the longest moving line of caravans and
motorhomes and also at night they have arranged for everyone to have a string
of LED lights for the longest continuous line of lights. They should have fun.
Got
dinner ready then watched some movies.
