A slow day at the Office ~ Fossick #513
( I was not even going to report in ~ )
Barely stopped raining all day at Malanda ~ when I left and when I returned ~
Once again decided late to head off and on site around 11:30
Rain stopped literally at the edge of town on the speed limit sign ~ and < 2:00 km> the Sun broke through ~ by Barrine turn off patches of Blue sky appeared . Even the roads were all dry all the way ~
Started in the car park again and once again it kicked off proceedings with the Glass stopper and a spill of 9 mm rounds.
I headed up the Hill to penetrate the bracken and reed grass ~ the only thing I found was detritus ~ copper wire ~ trashed choke cables and rotten 303 cartridge spill~
I worked gradually back down the hill toward the northern end ~ and the local steers literally followed me ~ even coming up real close to investigate proceedings.
Interestingly proceedings included considering checking or rechecking the fallen tree trunks armed with the new settings and three of the relics including a 380 Webbly round were under or tucked in real close to the log/s.
I headed back to the parking lot just in time to disarm and have a cuppa before the rain descended on me
Humble day ~ Really is getting thin on the ground now ~ I don’t believe there is much to be had on the top of the rise ~ Still have not found the concrete footings and slabs. ~ reported on the top of the Hill~ but that is typical ~ I have been told of Igloo/ Nissan huts concrete bunkers, even complexes in the Bush but have not seen all of these mythical buildings.
Clock coil spring ~
Great Metal detector found a glass bung ~ (LOL)
Teaspoon handle off cut..
A trio of coppers ~
A slow day but I will probably give a few more hits ~
