Hi All
Whilst down at Oallen last week - I found a shovel in a dig - it was slightly rusted, so it had been there since the weekend at least - anybody lose it???
Cheers Phil

G'day Phil, I reckon it might be mine. A long red fiberglass handle, wide mouth? I was there mid Jan. Was so bloody hot & just wanted to get home ASAP, just plain forgot!  If it's the one, keep it mate. Good excuse to hit-up 'skirt wearing finance minister' for new decent one.  Glad someone from this group found it & is willing to put it to good use. May it find you your fortune!

Oh Wisest of Birds,
How art though ?
I got back from WA last week. I ended up with 61 nuggets (all small) and 4 nice specimens. Including an estimate on the specimens, I reckon I got about an ounce and a half in the 17 days of detecting.
I have a potential "great place for us to go shoveling". Yeah I guess I get to shovel again !
