7.30am
16.3 degrees, mackerel clouds overhead with a clear sky around the horizon. No
wind.
Headed
south to check out new area of leases we have permission for. We were detecting
when a 4wheeler and 4WD drove by. We didn’t find any gold so we continued along
the track which went between two hills. The track went up and down some
gullies. The others were parked up further along so we stopped and turned back
to a clear area to have detect. We heard lots of yelling from the lady so Steve
walked over to see if they were ok. She had been on the back of the 4wheeler
with her husband and it had flipped going up the steep bank. She had a sore
neck and arm and he hurt his hip and broke his $10,000 GPS 7000 but he was more
worried about his wife which was good. She was Asian and not very happy. Steve
helped him get the 4wheeler started again and the lady got in the 4WD with the
other chap. Don’t think he will get her back on the 4wheeler any time soon. They
headed back to their camp and he said they will head back to Karratha tomorrow.
We
didn’t find any gold there either so after a cuppa headed back as we weren’t
going to tackle those gullies. Along another track we found a good aluminium
fuel/water tank with brackets. The brackets seemed ok but maybe another bit
broke so they had to abandon it.
Tried
another area and Steve found three bits in the dry creek bed. We moved closer
to it and after lunch I wandered around but found nothing. No more for Steve
either.
Home
for a cuppa, 28 degrees in the van. I put a lamb casserole in the Ecopot for
dinner.
Ray
and Carol returned – had a good day. Steve went back to where he got the lone
one the other day to see if it had a friend. He put his bigger coil on hoping
there might be bigger ones deeper in the ground.
I
caught up on my blog and relaxed playing my games on the Tablet. Steve came
back with another little bit – the smallest his big coil has found, 0.14g.
No
wind so very pleasant sitting around the fire. Ray got his satellite TV working
ready to watch the second State of Origin match which is being playing in
Perth.
Steve
and I had a game of 3 to Kings then had dinner and watched another movie – so
glad we have so many as some of them are rubbish.
