Well the weekend has come and gone, perfect weather, good company and some AU to please the appetite.
I headed out for a 4 dayer last Thursday out to Glendon and met up with Jules.
By the time we set up camp and organised the gear it was 2:00pm and was itching to get up to the gullies to have a look around and load a few bkts up with some dirt.
This is the dry gully that always produced a little gold.
By the time I had 4 bkt's of dirt the light was starting to fade.
Jules reckons a full moon was a good luck sign,so heres hoping.
Full moon a rising.
Starting to get a bit dark, time to head on home.
The boys around the fire.
Next morning up early and headed up to dig a bit more dirt before heading of with "Wally" and make him work.
Jules and his son working the gully before heading of to find a spot to use his "Wally Sluice".
After finding a suitable spot up in one of the dry gullies we came across a small waterhole so we set up "Wal" and started to "pop" afew boulders out and load up the bkts ready for processing.
The oldies working the gully crevices and playing in the mud.
Wally all set up for work.
And away we go....
Jules scored a nice little Nuggy sitting on the bedrock and came in at a whopping 0.23g
Pity there wasn't any more of this size.
We worked that area and soon came home smiling.
A coupla grams for our troubles and there is more to come. I have 18 bkts of dirt to run through the sluice so a few more pics will come to light when I test run the EZ Sluice this weekend.
The 3 stooges...
It was a an eventful weekend with Alex ending up in hospital getting stitches to his back after gouging a good size cut.
He held his head high and all is well now, never a dull moment with my boys.
We had a great weekend and the boys are itching to catch up with Jules young fella for another trip.
Starting to get a bit chilly here now, but that wont stop us heading out on the next trip.
Cheers for now
