I return to prospect and detect the greater Halls Creek, Western Australia region, buffeted and dampened once again by unseasonal storms and deluge.
I meet up with nugget magnet Andrew, and the tenacious Kimberley Diggers always hungry for the next gold nugget.
We enjoy good company, campfire camaraderie, and splendid isolation in this pristine location. Oh yes, and everyone comes up trumps on the gold!
Talk about prospecting paradise!
