7am
26 degrees, clear sky, cool northerly breeze.
Updated
my blog. Others in Leonora were visited by the yellow and black beetle. One
lady said it was a Fiddler Beetle but it is usually only found on the east
coast of Australia.
Headed
off detecting again with Bob and Margaret. Track out much smoother after the
boys attempted with the big metal grid they towed behind the truck.
No
joy at the first place. Next spot was near the main homestead – Kym and Glen
had gone to Kalgoorlie. Steve found a little nuglet so called me over. He went
of wandering so I worked over the area around his nuglet. I got a loud signal
which I thought was rubbish but decided to dig it any cast. It was a red rock.
I didn’t have any water with me so I had to do a ‘Steve’ and put it in my mouth
to clean it. I could see faint gold markings so I was very excited. Nothing
else for the others so we headed home.
Had
a cuppa then the boys relocated the fuel pod – Steve made a lower platform
which was closer to the generator.
Margaret
brought out a bottle of bubbly as they head off tomorrow. Will see them again
next year and hopefully find more gold!!
Mum
rang to say she saw Kathy and Judy. Poor Wayne is not doing too well and has
lost a lot of weight. Will give them a call.
Lovely
evening chatting – I put out a mozzie coil but they were too bad tonight. Sat
chatting til 8pm then went into our vans for dinner. Even spotted a few
satellites.
