Where we were working.

Nice trap!

Checking out a trap where I found a nice little picker.

Ah, but it rained overnight on Friday and the river flooded. So we all piled into Terry and Janet’s mobile home and told stories and laughed over coffee and quail’s eggs, then went shopping in Helmsdale, visited Timespan, drove through Strath Brora and down Dunrobin Glen and had dinner and drinks in the Royal Marine Hotel in Brora to round off a superb day.

Sunday the river was still high but there was gold to be found!

Crevicing proved to be the only successful method due to the spate conditions.

Gold from the crevices.

Not a bad haul for the weekend considering the rain.

My gold for the weekend.
