Sat, 22nd June, 2019 Bush camp near Mosquito Creek, east of Nullagine, WA



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.

NO PHOTOS TODAY.
