6.30am
12 degrees, clear sky, no wind – heater on. It is so nice to take that nip out
of the air for breakfast.
8am
the cold wind is back. We went back to where Steve had dug the ‘phantom’ target
as he had gotten a few bits of gold 3 years back on the flats nearby. All we
got was lead shot.
Went
back along the track a bit and followed someone else’s track over to some
scrapes that went down into a creek. I wandered down to where the blue schist
stuff was and got a signal. Then another and another around the base of some
spinifex. I got a few more, all very little but it was gold. Steve came back
with one nice bit he got on the other side of the creek.
Steve
got the rake and cleared away the spinifex then he helped me dig out more
little bits. This is the type of detecting I like, lots of bits to keep me busy
– I had the endless walking waiting to get a signal.
Headed
back to camp with a grin for lunch. Stopped and got some water on the way.
Still
very windy.
We
had the feeling there is more to find so we headed back to our spot. Steve put
on his little ‘Sadie’ coil and started finding little bits. It is half the size
of my detector but no quite as sensitive as the new technology in the 2300. I
went over where he had been and still found some little bits.
The
wind has settled at last as we chatted around the fire.
Inside
of dinner. I leave the phone connected to the aerial just in case a text comes
through and it did. One from Kerry and Brian. They are at Port Hedland planning
where to go next. I sent them back a text then tried ringing, I could hear
Kerry but she couldn’t hear me.
NO
