7.30am
20 degrees, clear sky and the strong wind blew all through the night and is
still blowing. Looks like another rest day in the van, reading, playing cards
and writing up my blog.
After
lunch the wind settled enough for us to go detecting. Tried a spot just down
from where we are camped but the others had gotten the gold there too and left
lots of holes open which I filled back in. They had thrown the lead shot they
found back in a couple too. I found a lot more lead shot they missed I might
add. Obviously this little hill must have been a good spot to shoot dinner!!
Lead shot sounds just like a nice little bit of gold so you can’t get excited
till you get the gold in your hand. As I was heading back to the truck I got
another signal but this time the little ball was golden. Unfortunately there
were no more.
The
wind is still blowing. Quite warm in the van with the awning wound in – 30
degrees. Had a cuppa then tried another spot near some shafts by a creek. Steve
scored with 3 little bits but I just cleaned up Australia picking up more lead
shot.
The
wind has stopped – yeah. It is very quiet now without the wind. Still quite
warm in the sun so we played Skipbo while we had our drinks – Steve won 3 to
0!!.
Lit
the fire at sunset and enjoyed a lovely evening sitting under the stars and the
filling moon. Steve spotted a satellite just as I walked into the van.
Warm
enough to leave the windows open till we went to bed. The wind started blowing
again then.
NO
