7.30am
17 degrees, the sky is half cloud and half clear with no wind. Another light
shower of rain fell during the night.
Made
our lunches and went detecting. The wind is back, blowing well so that will
help dry out the tracks. Went through a couple of soft bits but mostly it was
solid ground.
Checked
out another area and were rewarded with a few bits. We are disgusted with some
people though who leave don’t fill in their holes and leave their water bottles
as well. I picked them up and will get rid of them.
There
are tracks going everywhere through the hills so we tried another spot where
someone had raked away spinifex and left holes. We presume it was gold as there
doesn’t appear to be any rubbish or much mine working about. More water bottles
here too! I found one little bit – as they say ‘no one gets it all’.
Home
for a cuppa and another game of 3 to Kings.
5pm
we headed over to Dave’s camp and met his wife, Sue. Other campers came too so
we all had a great afternoon chatting. A chap from Tassie had some cut stones
to show and sell. He had Kilkrankie Diamonds that are found on Flinders Island
(NE of Tassie). He also had some emeralds from Cue. Another chap had a lovely 3oz
nugget of gold he found here recently – there is hope for us yet!
Back
home for a late dinner, shower and movie.
