Its raining, it's pouring..

Well after about two weeks here, the heavens have opened up from the north west and it's been bucketing down for about the last twenty four hours or so. That's put the kybosh on the prospecting and the air about the camp is not too confident. the rain is the third lot that  people have had here and it takes about 3-4 days for the ground to dry out sufficiently to start digging again. As well as that, the tracks literally turn to mud and traversing the fields can be quite dangerous with steep washaways to negotiate as well as the pits from past digging.. The afternoon social get together around the fire has also been put on hold until the weather improves. on a more positive note, before the rains started yesterday, i managed to pull two tiny sapphires from the rubble that i have been working on. This at least confirms that we are looking in the right place and that the methods we are using are starting to work.
