Well I got up at 5.30 and got going from Deception Bay by 6.17 and got the the fossicking area at 8.00. Made my way down to creek, and got set up, tried the crevice sucker in a hole, lots of clay no gold, tried the creek bed, no gold, tried in some layers in the bank, no gold. Then about 9.00 I heard a voice say, "G/day" I replied and we started talking, seems Steve is from Caboolture, and we chatted for a bit, and he asked if I found any color, and I said, no.
He told me about this other site just up the other way opposite from the Counter St entrance, so we had a little dig in this bank inbetween these layers and after a few pans got a nice little color, then he got one, all Up I got 3 nice size ones and some very find. Lot's of clay which we had to break up really well.
So it's good to meet up with people, the weather was awesome, not too hot. He has had a look at the forum and is going to join, so we are going to organize another trip to Gympie and make another day of it.
Will post a picture when I get the colors cleaned and into a jar.
