Wind
up early this morning from the south. Jeff had mentioned there is a front
coming across the bottom of WA. 7am 21.7 degrees – pleasant.
ABC
Radio – all we can get – has a ‘Where am I’ competition for somewhere in the
Murchison-Gascoyne region. I am pretty good at guessing them too.
Headed
back to the Upper Mosquito Creek Mining area. Tried my first patch again and
amazingly I missed two nuglet – sitting right beside two others!! I went over
the area very slowly this time but no more were hiding there. Steve got a nice
one just as he was heading back to the truck for smoko after wandering the
hills looking for another patch.
Tried
another area – nothing for me but Steve got 2.
Decided
one last go over on Steve’s patch. I got one on the track straight up so I had
a spring in my step again. I went up to where Steve and I had picked up the
specimens and nuglets and I got 6 more nuglets and 3 specimens – well worth the
visit.
Steve
did over the other two area and got 5 nuglets and one sunbaker stuck to the
hard dirt.
Back
to the van. Steve smashed my specimens and I got 1.6 grams while the nuglets
only came to 1.45g but I am very happy as I got 3 grams today.
A
couple of Steve’s were bigger so he beat me with 3.67 grams. Nice clean reef
gold – no need to put these in acid to clean them up.
Another
great day detecting.
