Wed, 22nd May, 2019 Bush camp near Jubilee Hill, 50km south of Laverton, WA



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.
