Well Tribsa Cecc and me decided to mix it up this time and find some shade and find some bedrock to crevis instead of hitting the pit where we know the gold is.... well the shade was for me and Cecc tribsa had no choice unless he changed his name to nigell no friends..hahaha
Cecc and myself left tribsa behind to wait for Mike... ...typical Cecc packed enough stuff to weigh down a camel dosent matter how many times i tell him the pack lite he insists on bringing the bloody kitchen sink!
We walked through some 6foot bullgrass and found the spot banging and clanging along the way cause i know joe blake hangs out here and so did cecc he made me go first...lol
We setup a spot and i watched cecc start foaming at the mouth staring at the bedrock he had it bad poor fella hahaha .
I started test panning cause i hadnt been here since last flood and everything had changed cecc started his crevising the wheels were in motion.
A little later tribsa returned with our newest member Mike watched him bum skid down the bank not on purpose ofcoarse but held his own on the way down. You could see he has done that before...hahaha
We made introductions and we each set to task with a bit of small talk to kill the silence.
We happily spent a couple of hours looking for the yellow teasing/encouraging along the way until we started finding some.
Panning lessons were a dime a dozen ......we had crushed quartz granite and a shite load of pyrite....it was super fine and was so dense the gold sat on top of it and couldnt get to the bottom of the pan.
We were all having some fun regardless of the lack of colour i guess it was due to the good company of a few blokes.
I went to go fetch a shovel and pick i left behind earlier on the bedrock and came accross the mother of all typans i seriously have never seen one that big before and it put the bejesus up me. Even though i nilly stepped on it ...it didnt want to move!
We left mike behind to tinker around while we made our way back to the car park nice bloke i will take him to the pit next time put a smile on his dial.
All in all i love catching up with tribsa and cecc never a dull moment like how cecc packs his buckets in a bag for transport (mate they got handles)...in a brightly coloured pokeadot wiggles reject bag!
Im sure the laughs will never stop.
