6.30am
8.8 degrees, clear sky and no wind – heater on of course.
Packed
lunch for a day out detecting. Tried a few different spots. Got 3 little bits
from blue schist that had been scraped down a slope.
The
pastoralist is mustering his cattle and there are two helicopters zooming
around rounding up the cattle. Don’t think I would want to be up there with
them in this gusty wind. The pastoralist had flown over us the other day in his
plane when we were at Millionaire’s Gully.
A
fire is burning to the north-west. You now when it has got a good section of
spinifex as it goes very black from the oil in the spinifex. One of the
helicopters flew over to the fire to check it out.
Another
spot Steve got a slight signal and dug down. It got louder so he kept digging.
He called me over to try with my detector to try and pin point it as he had now
hit hard rock. It still sounded good so he got the hammer and chisel and
started chipping away at it. Unfortunately after a lot of hard work the signal
seem to get quieter and didn’t seem to be in one spot anymore. We decided it
might just have been ground noise or phantom signal, where the minerals in the
ground just make the sound of a gold target. Very frustrating but that’s the
joys of detecting. Filled in the big hole and drove back.
Stopped
in dry Mosquito Creek and collected some more firewood.
Home
for drinks around the fire. The wind has settled which is lovely. Can’t believe
how much the wind blows over here.
NO
