8am
18 degrees, thin cloud covering the sun and breezy.
Helped
Mickey with the rooms etc. Steve fixed our screen door lock as it was very hard
to unlock from the inside.
Our
new phone arrived. Time to upgrade as my old one was 2G/3G so got a Tough Max
T84 which has an aerial port like our old one but this one is like a smart
phone so we can use the data we get with the prepaid service. Only problem is
it doesn’t have a great calendar/diary with alarms like my old one so I will
either keep using the old phone or just go back to writing on the wall calendar.
Temperature
warming up – opened up the van. The wind has blown all the clouds away.
Went
detecting after lunch and tried an area around some old shafts. A lot of
ironstone with only a little bit of quartz – different ground to up north.
Steve found a little bit so we moved closer to that spot and I got a little
specimen straight away but then nothing. Steve went for a wander and came back
with another little bit from an ironstone blowout. No more so we headed back
for drinks and to show Chris and Mickey our first bits of Sandstone gold. Will
put my specimen in some acid to see how much gold is in it.
Another
lovely dinner with Chris and Mickey followed by icecream, of course, as we
found gold today! Chris heading off early tomorrow for his week of work at St Barbara’s
Mine at Leonora.
Cooling
off again so closed up the van when we went to bed.
NO
PHOTOS TODAY.
