7.30am
16.2 degrees, clear sky and no wind.
A
gusty breeze sprang up from the south just when I decided to cut Steve’s hair.
Haven’t done it for a while and boy it is long and thick at the back but still
thin on top!
More
exploring different areas trying to find that elusive gold. Managed to find a
little bit each before lunch.
Followed
a track along a creek that wound its way up through very high hills to a lovely
valley. Unfortunately it was overgrown but it would have been lovely to walk up
the gorge. Someone had camped here as there was a big fireplace made of quartz.
On
the way home we stopped at an area that looks like lunar landscape. I wandered
over some broken quartz at the top of a slope hoping for a glory hole like
Kerry’s. No glory hole but I got a couple of quartz rocks that sang and when
Steve hit them with the hammer out came some little bits of gold. I continued
working the area and ended up with more bits of gold, some on quartz, others as
nuglets. Steve put on his Sadie coil to try and snag a bit but it could hardly
here my targets – the 2300 certainly is more sensitive. We are both glad we
bought it as it has proven very handy.
As
we turned into our camp area a little fairy wren darted across the track –
haven’t seen on of those for ages.
Nice
afternoon chatting as the wind has gone again.
Left-over
stew with griddle scones – I am getting good at these. Warmer evening so left
the windows open for a while. Watched the Pearl Harbour movie – very good but I
can’t watch all the shooting etc when I know it really happened to people.
The
wind sprang up again as we went to bed.
