The all-terrain vehicles were in place, and everyone immediately transferred their equipment and prepared to set off for the inspection.
After tying the hiking backpack and various equipment in the car, Ye Tian immediately began to arm himself.
He did not take out the rifle and carry it on his back, which would be inconvenient for driving. The three long guns were all in the gun bag and placed behind the car seat, so they could be reached by reaching out, which was very convenient.
The two M9s are still under the armpits. The Magnum Sand Eagle is tied to the outside of the right leg. You can pull it out and shoot with your hand. This is used to deal with grizzly bears. It is no less powerful than a rifle!
The American-made dog legs are tied to the back waist as before. This knife can be used for close combat and for clearing paths. It is a very practical piece of equipment.
Finally, there is the body armor, hidden under the jacket.
Jason is relatively simple, just a body armor and a Colt Python, which is done quickly.
"Steven, it seems that you are really prepared! You are fully equipped!"
Seeing their weapons, Mark couldn't help but sigh and felt relieved.
These two people are obviously not hot-headed New Yorkers who come to explore and make money on a whim, but adventurers who come with a plan and really want to find opportunities here.
Mark carries a double-barreled shotgun, its power cannot be underestimated!
"This is my first time entering the northern wasteland, so I have to think more carefully about whether I am prepared for anything!"
Ye Tian replied with a smile, stretched out his hand to zip up the jacket, and completed the arming.
Hayward next to the all-terrain vehicle just smiled and showed no signs of surprise. Compared with the sniper rifle in his hand, Ye Tian's weapons were obviously not good enough.
Seeing that everyone had finished cleaning up, Ye Tian immediately said:
"Let's talk about the survey plan. I decided to abandon the eight survey points of the mining company and choose the survey sites myself. I believe the data will be more realistic"
"That's right! Survey data published by mining companies may not be trustworthy"
Mark nodded in agreement. He was not surprised at all. Most people would make this choice.
Ye Tian smiled and nodded, and began to introduce his survey method.
"Virgin land No. 1 is relatively regular, and the observation points are well divided. It is 2 kilometers horizontally and divided into 6 survey points, one 50 meters on each side of the river bank, and another one every 400 meters outward.
There are 4 vertical columns, each 400 meters long, with 6 survey points in each column. This can divide the mining rights into 24 blocks of almost equal area. I believe that such survey data is convincing enough.
Don’t worry about time, we will advance step by step. Each survey point only needs to detect a ten-meter radius, dig out the topsoil and take samples, and we will wait until we return to the stream to carry out unified washing."
After the words fell, Mark immediately said in surprise:
"Wow! Grid survey! The workload is not small! But the results must be authoritative!"
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's get started! I really want to experience the fun of discovering gold!"
Jason said excitedly, he couldn't wait.
“Choose the river sand from Smith Creek for your first pot of mineral sand, I believe it will bring surprises!”
Ye Tian pointed to the clear stream and said, extremely excited.
After saying that, he took out the engineer shovel and gold pan from the back of the all-terrain vehicle and walked towards Smith Creek. Jason followed with a gold pan and a metal detector.
Mark followed him around enthusiastically, while Hayward stood guard next to the all-terrain vehicle.
……
Walking to the stream, Ye Tian found a place with shallow water and began to dig out the sand at the bottom of the river with an engineer shovel.
At the same time, he had turned on his perspective and looked at the bottom of the river.
Everywhere he looked, everything in the stream in front of him was immediately clear to his eyes.
The clear stream water, a few panicked small fish running around, the swaying aquatic plants on the bottom of the river, and the sediment settled on the bottom of the river, etc.
As I expected, the river sand contains fascinating gold sand, more than other places on the shore.
This is your first time using a gold pan, and you will definitely get a surprise!
Immediately he took back his perspective, poured the river sand dug up by the engineering shovels into the gold pan, and prepared to start washing.
On the other side, Jason squatted by the stream, holding a gold pan and reaching into the stream, and used the gold pan to dig out river sand.
"Wow! This water is so cold! It's almost freezing!"
Jason exclaimed and dug out a basin full of river sand from the bottom of the river.
"Hahaha, this stream flows down from the snow-capped mountains and glaciers, so of course it is very cold!"
Mark explained with a smile, then walked to Ye Tian and watched him sneak away and wash the gold.
Jason came over with the gold pan, also ready to see the results of Ye Tianliu's washing, not without the intention of comparing.
As he spoke, Ye Tian had already begun to wash the river sand in the gold pan.
He slowly sank the gold pan filled with river sand into the water, allowing the stream water to completely submerge the river sand. Then he lifted the gold pan, half of it out of the water, and the other half immersed in the water at a thirty-degree angle. Shake gently to rinse.
This is to use the stream water to wash away the sediment, leaving behind gold particles with a larger specific gravity. The reverse groove design in the gold pan will retain the gold to the maximum extent, without worrying about them being washed away by the water.
During the shaking and washing process, he constantly put his other hand into the gold pan and stirred it to suspend the sediment in the water, making it easier to wash away and speeding up the washing process.
Although this method of swiping and washing is simple, it is effective. It has been used by humans for thousands of years. It is not outdated and is still used by all gold diggers today.
Ye Tian's movements were still a bit unfamiliar at first, but as the river sand in the gold pan was washed away by the running water, his movements became more and more proficient, and even developed a sense of rhythm.
There are fewer and fewer river sands in the gold rush basin. Through the stream water and the few river sands, you can already see bits and pieces of gold!
"Wow! There is gold in it! It seems like a lot!"
Jason said excitedly, almost dancing.
"Of course there is gold. This is a pot of river sand specially selected by my brother, just to get a good start!"
Ye Tian said secretly proudly.
He did not pause for a moment while washing the gold, swaying very rhythmically, using the stream water to gently wash away the sand in the gold pan, revealing the dazzling gold.
He took almost all of the gold pan out of the water, with only the edges still submerged in the water. The water and sediment in the basin were rapidly decreasing, and more and more gold appeared in everyone's eyes.
Although he already knew the quantity of gold, Ye Tian was still so excited when he washed them out with his own hands and saw them emitting a dazzling and charming golden light that his breathing quickened!
Fortunately, his hands were very stable and did not tremble, causing all previous efforts to be wasted.
The two people watching were equally excited, their eyes filled with golden light.
"Steven, you are really a super lucky guy. You found gold in the first pot, and there was so much! This is the most gold I have ever seen in a gold washing pot. It's too exaggerated! Is it 1 Is the mining right a super rich mine? ”
Mark said in shock, his words full of disbelief.
Jason was so excited that he was completely speechless. His eyes widened and his mouth opened wide. He didn't know what to say. His eyes and face were already full of shock and ecstasy.
There is not much gold in the gold pan, and it cannot be compared with the previous 1,400 ounces.
But that 1,400 ounces is just a fixed number and will not increase. Although the gold in front of you is not much, it is just a bit of 375 hectares of land!
If there was so much gold everywhere in 375 hectares of land, what a huge number it would be! What a huge fortune it will be!
Thinking of this, Jason was already trembling a little, almost crazy!
The last few large grains of river sand in the gold pan were picked up by Ye Tian. The water was poured out, leaving only a charming golden color at the bottom of the basin. The three of them could hardly open their eyes.
The scene was extremely quiet, no one spoke, there was only the sound of gurgling water.
The three of them stared straight at the bottom of the gold pan with expressions of obsession and shock on their faces!
This is gold! A symbol of value, a treasure that the world is crazy about, so many people can only dream of it! There are mountains and plains here. As long as you own this mining area, it belongs to you!
After a long time, Ye Tian woke up first and said something fiercely through gritted teeth.
"I love gold! This **** thing can definitely drive people crazy! I swear! I must take away a lot of gold and a lot of wealth from here!"
These words were decisive and firm, showing his determination to win! It also woke up the other two obsessed people.
"Stephen, how much do you estimate this gold weighs? How much is it worth?"
The moment he woke up, Jason asked excitedly and urgently.
The same goes for Mark. He also wants to know the value of the gold.
"Almost 1/4 ounce, worth three to four hundred dollars"
Ye Tian already knew how much gold there was and immediately reported it.
"Wow! There are so many!"
Jason and the others exclaimed again, both of them were frightened.
"Don't be surprised, maybe you can wash out more!"
Ye Tian said with a smile, pointing at the gold pan in Jason's hand.
"Yes! There is also a basin of river sand. Let me also enjoy the thrill of discovering gold!"
Jason said suddenly, then squatted down and started to wash away, his expression was extremely focused and pious!
Ye Tianze looked at the gold pan in his hand, and under Mark's surprised gaze, he reluctantly poured the gold in the basin into the stream.
"Steven, why don't you keep this gold? What a pity!"
Mark asked in surprise, very puzzled.
"They don't belong to me yet, I can't take them away, but I believe that I will never return empty-handed this time. I will definitely have my own gold mine. That is the gold that belongs to me!"
Ye Tian explained the reason, and then looked at the golden land under his feet, his eyes were extremely hot!
