thats a good investment in the past
its a hard job being a good parent ( for both mums and dads )
so its good to reinvest something to pay them back for it
not everyone is a good parent lol , not everyone had good parenting , but for those that did i hope they send a bit of nurturing back there
when the opportunity arises i explain to other peoples kids that its hard work being a parent , and if they see mum or dad feeling tired or stressed , they can help out by taking them a drink , cup of tea or a sandwich
to watch their mind ticking over , and see them actually doing it is pure GOLD

I went to Ravenswood and camped at the local showground with my partner. we revisited an old ghost and checked the mullock heaps but only found rusty nails :/
the next morning i caught up with a local who advised the locals had picked over that place plenty of times, so he pointed me into the right direction up a creek, but he didnt tell me that, then he put me onto a property owner that was approachable, but he didnt say that either lol...all very hush hush out there so we spent some time in dry creek beds but only found wire :/
found two interesting cubes of lead about the size of your little finger nail in two different areas, not sure what they we were for but interesting all the same. so we got some info from the locals and have a new plan of attack next time
another local also advised that when the wet season starts and the creeks get some water in them again you can get color out of all the creeks there. I might have to invest in a sluice over summer and give it go.
even though we came home with no gold, totally exhausted and sore it was fantastic to amongst nature and explore again, we came accross a tree in a creek bed that came alive with a thousand butterflies as we walked under it, was amazing.

We had a pretty quite one, on Saturday we took the young bloke to swimming lessons, had lunch with my sister, a bit of shopping then headed home. The rest of the weekend was pretty casual, watched a few shows, a little tidying up here and there and a few relaxing beverages. Meanwhile about 3 people in my neighborhood were hosting parties but I think they must have forgotten my address because I wasn't invited to any of them??
long weekends are great but i am starting to prefer prospecting on weekdays to avoid " The phenomenon "
The phenomenon being when you get 6 families coming up for a chat asking the same old
" did you find any yet " maybe / maybe not. do you have a drug habit ?
"is there gold in australia ? " Yes , check out www.prospectingaustralia.com
" can i see it " maybe / maybe not. do you have a drug habit ? as per above
"my mum said you're messing up the inviramint with that plastic frisbee thing " ( environment ) , No , see that bucket on the back of my ute filled with other peoples rubbish i am taking home ?
i dont mind sharing , teaching and being neighbourly but 6 interruptions on average lasting 20 or 30 minutes each clashes with my digging protocols
and who wants them watching where your favourite spot is ?
lol
thats my whinge for the month

Oallan, sluicing & got a bit of colour but it is still to be sorted from the cons. Fabulous weekend away.

1942 sixpence at Tinaroo last night.I went up to stay over night so I could start work early. Lazing around reading GG&T, thought I'd have a birthday swing at about 8.30 pm, pitch black night and dropped the coil straight on the sixpence as soon as the old Explorer fired up. Happy Birthday to me . Love finding pre decs.

lol no but the stones that made up the base were donated from unprocessed materialgavfromoz said:GD, did you run that pay-dirt through a sluice before you used it in the barrow?
care of my missus, she figured I didn't need this buckets of stones as I had so many ...,

Did you get those marshmallows with a lure or bait on a hook ?

Sometimes the first bit is the hardest , but once you get past that hurdle it all seems to fall in to place and before you know it you accept that good luck is natural and you start getting good days with multiple wins
Amazing what it can do for your optimism
Study, study, study At least 1 exam down and 1 to go then i might finally be able to get out for a dig again
