Wind
blew through the night making the awning flap.
7.30am
16 degrees, wispy clouds and the cold wind is still blowing from the north
east.
Said
farewell to Bob and Margaret. Will see them later and hopefully they will find
some more gold then.
More
clouds are coming over as we headed to where Steve found his two bits
yesterday. We passed Mark and Heidi’s camp so stopped to say hello as they were
sitting around their fire having a cuppa. No more big surprises for them and
the bits are scarce too.
Steve
found another little speck then I got one after smoko. Carol got two further
down the slope but Ray missed out. We headed back to have lunch but they
brought theirs with them and Ray is determined to find a piece of gold.
27
degrees in the van, sky clearing and wind still gusty.
Detected
another spot which was by a creek. I was wandering and muttering to the gold
fairies about the lack of gold when I got a signal and it was a little speck of
gold. Then I got a lead shot followed by another bit of gold. Unfortunately the
next 10 targets were lead shot!!
Back
to the van. Steve went for another walk with his detector while I relaxed
playing games on the tablet – word games that is. Have to work out the Sudoku
one too. Ian had showed me his trick to work them out easily but I have
forgotten.
Steve
came back with two more bits – he is on a roll, haha, shame they weren’t
bigger.
Celebrated
around the fire as Ray got his two bits so everyone got some gold today. Sad
when we have to celebrate about finding such little bits but gold is gold.
Ray
called out as a meteorite flashed across the sky horizontally about our truck.
Steve and I saw it but Carol missed out. Big bright white light burnt down to
nothing.
More
stars are out now the moon is coming up later. The temperature is lovely too so
it is nice to be outside.
NO
PHOTOS TODAY.
