7.30am
17 degrees, clear sky and light breeze.
Jeff
& Lyn drove back to Meeka for the day. Steve headed back to the other mine
we found to detect. I cleaned the floor then went for a walk towards Steve. He
was further than I thought so I headed back to camp for a cuppa and a read.
Worked on my blog and family tree with CD playing. Very relaxing lifestyle!!
A
lot warmer today, 27 degrees in van with all the windows and vents open. No
wind today.
Steve
came back with a couple of tiny, tiny nuglets from near the old shaft and some
quartz with gold in it from around the shaft. He crushed it with pliers and got
the gold bits out. There is very little bits that he will keep in a container
to one day pan off or something.
He
broke yesterday’s specimen too and a nice little nuglet came out and the dirty
bit on the outside so that was probably 0.2g (forgot to weigh it before adding
it to the jar).
He
headed back there for the afternoon but didn’t find another thing. When Jeff
& Lyn got back I weighed the bits out of the quartz. One was a pretty
little thing which we will probably keep and it weighed 0.4g (including the
quartz).
The
rest came in at 0.9g so he got his 1 gram for the day.
Lovely
evening by the fire with a clear sky and just a light breeze.
