A little colour for the week

Managed to get out to kill the gold feaver today. The clouds made it a mostly decent day for a dig though the sun did make a few appearances. Nobody we knew out today though we did get alot of visitors popping in to have a look and say g'day.
First cleanout didnt look great despite a few test pans that looked good after about a foot it disappeared again.
So for the second dig we split the digging into two areas.
Ended up with a touch over 0.5 of a gram so we were happy

Good effort Ian I managed to get my hands wet as well this weekend but only doing washing and dishes.

Wal, looking forward to it. Temps are slowly getting better.
Jo had to get out as studying has been doing my head in, but iam sure my wife would have been happier if I would have done the dishes.
