7am
17.6 degrees, clear sky and the gusty ESE wind is back making it feel colder.
Detected
scrapes – no joy. Wind stronger. Got a
text from Kylie – they are leaving Exmouth. Strong winds there too.
Moved
camp. Saw another couple so stopped to say hello. They are from Gladstone.
Showed him the silver stuff and he thinks it is Galena (Lead) so might just be
door stops for the boys.
Drove
back along the track and found some big deeper shafts. Found some more
interesting rocks – is this copper? The mine is marked as copper on Tengraph.
Poor truck is getting more weight with all these rocks.
Lots
of old timer rubbish, chisel heads and fine wire mesh they used in the dry
blowers which drives us nuts when we are detecting.
Spotted
some bones in the bottom of one hole – not human thank goodness.
Back
to the burnt area where we had picked up a little bit each. Someone else has
recently been over with a detector and left big holes and his water bottles. I
didn’t find anything around the area then I went back over his holes and filled
them in. I was rewarded with a few little nuglets at the end of the pushes.
Steve found one.
Drove
back to an open area in the valley to try and get out of the wind. There was a
fireplace and chopped wood too. Set up for the night.
The
wind settled. I got some blogging done while Steve went for a walk with his
detector.
Lovely
sunset. Tom & Sandy rang – big storm about to hit.
