7.30am
16.4 degrees, nicer temp. Sunny and still.
Alan’s
birthday – tried sending a text last night but it didn’t go through. Will have
to try later.
Steve
headed back to his ‘patch’ and came back with 11 nuglettes – his name as they
are too small to call nuggets. Total of 2.4 grams though with the biggest one
being 0.5 grams.
Jeff
had gone to check out another spot his mate marked and came back all excited as
he got a strong signal from in an area of that hard calcrete. After lunch he
and Steve headed back with the angle grinder, hammer and chisel to see if they
can find what is making the signal.
I
cooked some Anzac cookies and put the roast in the Ecopot as the wind has come
up so mightn’t get a fire tonight. There is supposed to be another front coming
through. Nice warm day, 27 degrees.
Lyn
and I went for a drive back to the Hole in the Hill to try to get internet
signal. I could just get on to Facebook and my blog but not enough signal to
upload my blog. Saw I had an email from Kev & Linda but couldn’t open it so
sent her a text to let them know where we are. They are still in Darwin
apparently. Sent through Alan’s birthday wish via text message.
Back
to camp for a cuppa. I worked on my colouring in book. Very relaxing though I
wish I had more colours!!
The
wind has settled so I got the fire going. The sun has set and is making
beautiful colours on the clouds.
The
boys are late so hopefully that’s a good sign.
Well
it was for Steve but unfortunately they didn’t find any pot of gold in the
calcrete. Steve went detecting though and found a new patch bringing back 5
nuggets totalling 2.5 grams (1g, 0.5g, 0.5g, 0.3g and 0.2g). His jar is
starting to look better.
Clouds
moving over us but the wind has stopped so should be a nice night.
