Out n About For A weekend
Got picked up at 7am Friday by Lojay and his brother Pete, off we go
Smoko and a leg stretch at Merredin and then on the rd again, was a good drive with no
drama's.
Got into the area we planned to hit around lunch'ish and as ya do we wet the baby's head on arrival
and then rigged up to smash the livin crudd outta the spot.
The boys set up their tent and i rolled out the new swag, save doin it when the medicine kicks in later
Anyways, after a few hints n tips and checking the fellas settings for deadliness they where into it like troopers.
The area was very trashy but we dug em all and stuck to it as i knew there was gold in between the crap.
The Patch
The Ground
Camp Site
Lojay & Pete gettin stuck into it
Old Shaft With Ore Paddock on the right side
Down to the gold, final tally was Lojay = Scored his very 1st nugget and is well on his way to clean up.
Brother "Pete" = No luck this trip, but i reckon he's in by quids as he's taken out shares in Sims Metal
and knows the scrap iron trade real well after this trip, he just didnt walk over it but next time ay mate.
Myself = 4 nuggets for 5.2 grams & a qrtz specie with appx 0.5 in it.
My Gold
All up it was a great little trip out for the weekend, and cheers go to Lojay and Pete for the invite and
puttin up with the old codger
Lets do it again ay boys
