Bab 144: Chapter 144: Washing gold
When the all-terrain vehicle was in place, everyone immediately transferred their equipment and prepared to start the inspection.
After tying up the trekking backpack and various equipment on the car, Ye Tian immediately began to arm.
He didn't take the rifle out and carried it on his back. It was not easy to drive. The three long rifles were all in the gun bag and placed behind the seat of the car. It was very convenient to get them.
The two M9s are still under the armpits, and the Magnum Desert Eagle is tied to the outside of the right leg and can be pulled out to shoot. This is used to deal with grizzly bears, and the power is not worse than a rifle!
The American knife is tied to the back waist as before. This knife can be used for close combat or to open a road. It is a very practical piece of equipment.
The last is the body armor, hidden under the jacket.
Jason was relatively simple, with body armor and Colt Python, which was quickly settled.
"Steven, it seems that you are really well prepared! Well equipped!"
Seeing their armed forces, Mark couldn't help but sigh with emotion and feel relieved.
These two are obviously not New Yorkers who come to explore and make a fortune on a whim, but are adventurers who come here with a plan and really want to find opportunities here.
Mark is carrying a double-barreled shotgun, the power cannot be underestimated!
"This is the first time I have entered the northern wilderness. I have to think more about it. Are you prepared for it!"
Ye Tian smiled and replied, reaching out and pulling up the zipper of the jacket, completing his arms.
Hayward beside the all-terrain vehicle just smiled without any 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:
"Talk about the survey plan. I decided to abandon the eight survey sites of the mining company and choose the survey site myself. I believe the data will be more real."
"Yes! The survey data released by the mining company may not be trusted"
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 methods.
"The No. 1 virgin land is relatively regular, and the observation points are well divided, 2 kilometers horizontally, divided into 6 survey points, one at each 50 meters on both sides of the river bank, and another at every 400 meters out.
There are 4 vertical columns, 400 meters in one column, and 6 survey points in each column. This can divide the mineral rights into 24 blocks of almost equal area. I believe such survey data is convincing enough.
You don't have to worry about time. Let's move forward one by one. Each survey point only needs to detect a ten-meter radius, excavate the topsoil layer and take samples, and then go back to the stream for washing.
When the voice fell, Mark immediately said in surprise:
"Wow! Grid survey! The workload is not small! But the result must be very authoritative!"
"What are you waiting for? Let's start! I want to experience the joy of discovering gold so much!"
Jason said excitedly, he couldn't wait any longer.
"The first basin of mineral grains is the river sand of Smith Creek. I believe it will bring surprises!"
Ye Tian pointed to the clear stream and said, very excited.
After speaking, he took out the engineer shovel and the gold pan from behind the all-terrain vehicle, and walked towards Smith Creek. Jason also followed with the gold pan and metal detector.
Mark followed enthusiastically to visit, while Hayward was on guard by the all-terrain vehicle.
...
When he walked 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 opened perspective and looked towards the bottom of the river.
As soon as the line of sight passed, everything in the stream in front of him immediately appeared extremely clearly in his eyes.
The clear stream, a few panicked fish running around, the swaying water plants at the bottom of the river, and the sediment deposited on the bottom of the river, etc.
As I expected, the river sand contains fascinating golden grains, more than other places on the bank.
The first time you use the gold pan, you will surely get a surprise!
Immediately he retracted the perspective and poured the river sand dug up by the engineers into the gold pan, ready to start slipping.
On the other side, Jason squatted by the stream, held a gold pan into the stream, and directly used the gold pan to dig the river sand.
"Wow! This water is so cold! It's almost freezing!"
Jason exclaimed, and at the same time dug a basin full of river sand from the bottom of the river.
"Hahaha, this stream flows down from snowy mountains and glaciers, of course it is very cold!"
Mark explained with a smile, and then walked to Ye Tian to watch him wash the gold.
Jason walked over with the gold pan, and was ready to see the result of Ye Tian's washing. It was not without comparison.
While talking, Ye Tian had already started to wash the river sand in the gold pan.
He slowly sank the gold pan full of river sand into the water, let the river water completely submerge the river sand, then lifted the gold pan, half of it out of the water, the other half immersed in the water, and began to gently shake at an angle of 30 degrees Slippery.
This is to use the stream water to wash away the sediment, leaving gold particles with a larger specific gravity. The reverse groove design in the gold pan will retain the gold to the maximum without worrying about them being washed away by the water.
During the shaking and washing process, his other hand continuously stretched into the gold pan and agitated, allowing the sand to float in the water, making it easier to be washed away, speeding up the washing process.
Although this method of washing is simple, it is effective. It is a method of washing gold that humans have used for thousands of years. It is not outdated and is still used by all gold diggers.
At first, Ye Tian's movements were a bit rusty, but as the river sand in the gold pan was continuously washed away by the water, his movements have become more and more proficient, and even brought a little sense of rhythm.
There is less and less river sand in the gold panning basin. Through the stream and not much river sand, you can already see the dots of gold!
"Wow! There is gold in it! It seems a lot!"
Jason said excitedly, almost dancing.
'Of course there is gold. This is a pot of river sand specially selected by my buddies, which is a good start!'
Ye Tian thought smugly in his heart.
His movement of washing the gold did not stop for a moment, shaking very rhythmically, gently washing away the sand in the gold pan with the help of the stream, revealing the dazzling gold.
He almost took out the gold pan out of the water. Only the edge was still immersed 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 knew the amount of gold for a long time, he personally washed it out and watched them emit a dazzling and charming golden light, which still made Ye Tian excited, breathing quickly!
Fortunately, his hands were very stable, and there was no tremor that led to abandonment of previous efforts.
The two people watching were equally excited, their eyes full of golden light.
"Steven, you are such a lucky man. The gold was washed out in the first pot, and the amount is so large! This is the most gold rushing pot I have ever seen. It's too exaggerated! Is it No. Is it a super rich mine?"
Mark said in shock, his words full of incredible.
Jason was completely speechless with excitement, 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 grow. Although the gold in front of you is not much, it is only a little bit in the 375 hectares of land!
If there is so much gold everywhere in 375 hectares of land, what a huge number! What a fortune will be!
Thinking of this, Jason was already a little trembling, even almost crazy!
The last few large grains of river sand in the gold pan was picked up by Ye Tian, and the water was poured out, leaving only a charming golden color on the bottom of the basin, and the three swaying people almost couldn't open their eyes.
The scene was extremely quiet, no one spoke, only the gurgling sound of the stream.
All three of them stared, looking straight at the bottom of the gold pan, with expressions of obsession and shock on their faces!
This is gold! The symbol of value, the enthusiastic treasure of the world, how many people can't ask for 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, gritted his teeth and said something fiercely.
"I love gold! This damn thing is absolutely crazy! I swear! I must take away large sums of gold, large sums of wealth from here!"
These words are firm and firm, showing his determination to win! Also woke up the other two obsessed people.
"Steven, do you estimate the weight of this gold? How much is it worth?"
When he woke up, Jason asked excitedly, very urgently.
The same is true for Mark, he also wants to know the value of these gold.
"Almost 1/4 ounce, worth three or four hundred dollars"
Ye Tian already knew how much gold there was, and immediately reported it.
"Wow! So many!"
Jason and the others exclaimed again, and both of them were frightened.
"Don't be surprised maybe you can wash out more!"
Ye Tian said with a smile, and pointed at the gold pan in Jason's hand.
"Yes! There is also a basin of river sand, let me also enjoy the pleasure of discovering gold!"
Jason said suddenly, then squatted down and started to wash, his expression was extremely focused and religious!
Ye Tian looked at the gold pan in his hand and reluctantly poured the gold in the basin into the stream in Mark's surprised eyes.
"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 immediately looked at the golden ground under his feet, his sight was extremely hot!
