Chapter 144: Washing the Gold

The all-terrain vehicle was in place, and everyone immediately transferred their equipment and prepared to set off for the expedition. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After strapping the trekking backpack and various equipment on the car, Ye Tian immediately began to arm.

He didn't take out the rifle and carry it on his back, which was not convenient for driving, and the three long guns were in the gun bag, and they were placed behind the saddle so that the probe could reach them, which was very convenient.

The two M9s are still under the armpits, and the Mag Nansha Eagle is tied to the outside of the right leg, and you can pull out the shot when you reach out, which is used against grizzly bears, and the power is no worse than that of a rifle!

The American dog leg is tied to the waist as before, and this knife can be used for both hand-to-hand combat and opening the way, which is a very practical piece of equipment.

Finally, there is the body armor, which is hidden under the jacket.

Jason is relatively simple, it is body armor and Colt python, and it is done quickly.

"Steven, it looks like you're really prepared!

Seeing their armament, Mark couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and he was much more relieved.

These two are clearly not hot-headed New Yorkers who come to explore and make a fortune on a whim, but adventurers who come here with a plan and really want to find opportunities here.

Mark carries a double-barreled shotgun, and his power is not to be underestimated!

"It's my first time entering the Northern Wasteland, so I have to think about it a little more, are you prepared?"

Ye Tian replied with a smile, reached out and pulled the zipper of the jacket, completing the armament.

Hayward next to the all-terrain vehicle just smiled, and there was no surprise, compared to the sniper rifle in his hand, Ye Tian's weapons were obviously not enough.

Seeing that everyone had finished cleaning up, Ye Tian immediately spoke:

"Let's talk about the expedition plan, I decided to abandon the eight survey points of the mining company and choose the survey site by myself, I believe the data will be more real"

"That's right! Mining companies may not be trustworthy in the survey data"

Mark nodded in agreement, not surprised that most people would make that choice.

Ye Tian smiled and nodded, and began to introduce his survey method.

"The No. 1 virgin land is relatively regular, and it is very well divided into observation points, 2 kilometers horizontally, divided into 6 survey points, one on each side of the river bank 50 meters, and another one for every 400 meters outward.

There are 4 longitudinal columns, a 400-meter column, and 6 survey points in each column, which can divide the mining rights into 24 blocks of almost equal size, which I believe is convincing enough.

You don't have to worry about time, let's move forward column by column, each survey point only needs to detect the range of 10 meters, dig up the topsoil layer to take samples, and wait for the washing to return to the stream to carry out the unified operation."

When the words fell, Mark immediately said in surprise:

"Wow! Grid survey! It's a lot of work, but the results are authoritative!"

"So what are you waiting for? Let's get started!

Jason said excitedly, he couldn't wait.

"The first pot of mineral sand is the river sand of Smith Creek, I believe it will bring surprises!"

Ye Tian pointed to the clear stream and said, extremely excited.

With that, he took out the sapper shovel and the gold panning basin from behind the all-terrain vehicle and walked towards Smith Creek. Jason followed with a gold pan and a metal detector.

Mark enthusiastically followed, while Hayward stood guard by the ATV.

......

Walking to the stream, Ye Tian found a shallow place and began to dig up the sediment at the bottom of the river with a sapper shovel.

At the same time, he had turned on the perspective and looked at the bottom of the river.

Everywhere I looked, everything in the stream in front of me was immediately presented in my eyes very clearly.

The clear water, a few panicked and running small fish, the swaying aquatic plants at the bottom of the river, and the sediment that has settled on the bottom of the river, etc.

As you might expect, the sand of the river contains more fascinating gold sand than anywhere else on the shore.

The first time you use the gold pan, you will definitely get a surprise!

Then he retracted his perspective, poured the sand dug up by the sappers into the gold pan, and prepared to begin to wash it.

On the other side, Jason squatted by the stream, holding a gold pan into the stream, and directly used the gold panning basin to dig up river sand.

"Wow! It's so cold! It's almost freezing!"

Jason exclaimed, digging a basin full of river sand from the bottom of the river.

"Hahaha, this stream is flowing down from snow-capped mountains and glaciers, of course it's very cold!"

Mark explained with a smile, and then walked over to Ye Tian and watched him wash the gold.

Jason walked over with a gold pan, and was also going to see the results of Ye Tian's washing, which was not without comparison.

As he spoke, Ye Tian had already begun to wash away the river sand in the gold panning basin.

He slowly sank the gold panning basin full of river sand into the water, let the stream completely submerge the river sand, and then lifted the gold panning basin, half of it was taken out of the water, and the other half was immersed in the water, and began to shake gently at an angle of thirty degrees.

This is using the stream water to wash away the sediment, leaving behind a larger proportion of gold particles, and the reverse trench design inside the gold panning basin will retain the gold to the greatest extent, so there is no need to worry about them being washed away by the water.

In the process of shaking and washing, his other hand was constantly stretched into the gold panning basin and stirred, so that the sediment was suspended in the water, which was easier to be washed away and accelerated the process of washing.

Although this method of washing is simple, it is effective, and it is a method used by human beings for thousands of years to wash gold, and it is not outdated, and it is still used by all gold diggers.

At first, Ye Tian's movements were still a little rusty, but as the river sand in the gold panning basin was constantly washed away by the flowing water, his movements became more and more proficient, and even brought a little sense of rhythm.

There is less and less river sand in the gold panning basin, and through the stream and not much river sand, you can already see the golden dots!

"Wow! There's gold in it!

Jason said excitedly, dancing soon.

"Of course there is gold, this is a pot of river sand specially selected by the buddy, just for a good start!"

Ye Tian said secretly smugly in his heart.

Without a moment's pause, he shook very rhythmically, gently washing away the mud and sand from the gold panning basin with the help of the stream, revealing the dazzling gold.

The gold panning basin was almost completely taken out of the water by him, only the edge was still immersed in water, and the water and sediment in the basin were rapidly decreasing, and more and more gold appeared in everyone's eyes.

Although he had long known the amount of gold, he had slipped it out with his own hands and saw them exuding a dazzling and charming golden light, which still made Ye Tian excited, and his breathing became short!

Fortunately, his hands were very stable, and there was no trembling that would lead to the loss of his efforts.

The two onlookers were equally excited, their eyes full of golden light.

"Steven, you're such a super lucky guy, you washed out the gold in the first pot, and there are so many of them! This is the most gold panning pot I've ever seen, it's too exaggerated! Is No. 1 a super bonanza?"

Mark said in shock, his words full of incredulity.

Jason was completely speechless with excitement, his eyes were wide open, his mouth was wide open, 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 panning basin, and it cannot be compared with the previous 1400 ounces at all.

But that 1,400 ounces is just a fixed number, and it will not grow, and although there is not much gold in front of you, it is only a little bit of 375 hectares of land!

What a huge sum if there was so much gold everywhere in 375 hectares! What a fortune!

Thinking of this, Jason was already a little trembling, even almost crazy!

The last few large particles of river sand in the gold panning basin were picked up by Ye Tian, and the water was poured clean, leaving only a charming golden color at the bottom of the basin, and the three people who were shaking couldn't open their eyes.

It was so quiet that no one spoke, only the murmuring of the stream.

All three of them stared at the bottom of the gold pan with expressions of obsession and shock on their faces!

This is the symbol of gold! The symbol of value, the treasure that the world is fanatical about, how many people can't ask for it! But here are all over the mountains, as long as you own this mining area, it belongs to you!

After a long time, Ye Tian first came to his senses, gritted his teeth and said fiercely.

"I love gold! This damn thing is going crazy! I swear! I'm going to take a lot of gold and a lot of money from here!"

These words were categorical and unusually firm, showing his determination to win! It also woke up the other two obsessed people.

"Steven, how much do you estimate this gold to weigh and how much is it worth?"

The moment he came to his senses, Jason immediately asked excitedly, very urgently.

Mark, too, wants to know the value of the gold.

"Almost 1/4 ounce, worth three or four hundred dollars"

How much gold there was, Ye Tian already knew it, and immediately reported it.

"Wow!

Jason and the others exclaimed again, and both of them were startled.

"Don't be surprised, maybe you'll be able to wash more!"

Ye Tian said with a smile, stretching out his hand and pointing at the gold pan in Jason's hand.

"Yes, there's a basin of river sand, so let me enjoy the thrill of discovering gold!"

Jason said suddenly, and then squatted down and began to wash, his expression was extremely focused and religious!

Ye Tian looked at the gold panning basin in his hand, and in Mark's surprised gaze, he reluctantly poured the gold in the basin into the stream.

"Steven, why don't you keep this gold?

Mark asked, puzzled.

"They don't belong to me yet, I can't take them with me, but I believe that this time I will never go home empty-handed, and I will definitely have my own gold mine, which is my gold!"

Ye Tian explained the reason, and then looked at the golden earth under his feet, his eyes were extremely hot!
