Hi everyone, Colin and I have arrived in NW Western Australia and started detecting last week. Colin thought it would be a good idea to send you all some pictures of our campsite and our gold, so you can be suitably jealous, so here they are. We both got just short of a half ounce after six says here. Here is our camp: ![IMG_0115](https://forum.pmat.org.au/uploads/default/original/1X/59edb38bc1fc1de9f0dbca29b31f113226623183.jpeg) The view looking west at sunrise: ![IMG_0120](https://forum.pmat.org.au/uploads/default/original/1X/9cce3abcedb40a1be860e160a312f91038e2e8dd.jpeg) And some gold: ![IMG_0112](https://forum.pmat.org.au/uploads/default/original/1X/e2753e8bee3530f94bc344c40ca136d8e022200c.jpeg) ![IMG_0114](https://forum.pmat.org.au/uploads/default/original/1X/eddd3a7fdea37c3f97563e415db38bddae7232e4.jpeg) See you all when we get back! ---

Congratulations on your gold haul. We live in WA and have just returned from a great trip to Cue. My husband found his first gold nugget, lovely little 3 grams. Weather was perfect. ---

Colin and Lindsay say hi from up here. We had 40 mm or so of rain which made the road a mud pie and had us camp bound for three days. Still, we made the best of it, and I found a nice 2.7 grammer not far from our campsite. Up to about an ounce and a half but no nuggets better than 3.5 grams so far. Here’s Colin and Lindsay last night with the full moon rising: ![image](https://forum.pmat.org.au/uploads/default/original/1X/9280c545745a9a0bd2ad7fb2aa9e6f627808ba84.jpeg) ---

Hi everyone, thanks for the messages! We’ve settled into a pattern of getting up at daybreak and working until about 3 pm or so. Here’s a picture of a little patch I found, these all came from about six or seven meters of creek bank, plus a few more I got the following day, not in the picture. ![image](https://forum.pmat.org.au/uploads/default/original/1X/415030ae4dd8c99f7cc277e83240a2e58bc01e28.jpeg) [Next page](https://forum.pmat.org.au/t/east-pilbara-gold/606.md?page=2)
