7.30pm
20 degrees, light cool breeze with a few clouds.
I
headed off for my walk as Steve wandered off with his detector. I heard him get
a beep so walked over to see what it was. Gold!! A 0.5g little nugget. Off to a
good start.
After
an hour he was still gridding (going over the area in lines carefully) and he
hadn’t found another thing. Amazing that little bit was just sitting there
waiting for him to walk by.
I
made some more Nuts & Bolts then put on a beef stew for dinner in the
Ecopot. Steve came back after he had wandered off looking further afield for
gold but no luck. Made some lunch then he did my hair colour.
We
went for a drive with Jeff & Lyn to check out Gabanintha Mine which is near
Yogahong Hill which I zoomed in on.
Passed
a kangaroo or is it one of those other Euros we read about in Meekatharra.
Three
big pits full of water and new hills but it isn’t been worked at the moment.
Lots
of drill holes everywhere.
Next is the second pit.
Continued
around to the third pit with a big white area that looks like quartz but Steve
said it is something like calcimine or something – very hard to break through
he has found out.
Lots
of piles of broken bottles. Headed back via an old shaft that Steve had found
while out detecting.
Back
to the van for a late cuppa then I rang Mum and Dad for a chat.
Got
the fire going and prepared a cheese & bacon damper to have with our stew
tonight. Turned out very nice.
Bit
cooler tonight with a few clouds coming over.
