Each time he dug out a layer, he would pass it through the detector. Even after he had dug out half of the soil from the shovel, the detector was still beeping. Chen Feng reached into the shovel and started rummaging around in it.
Soon, Chen Feng noticed something unusual.
His brow furrowed slightly. Because he was inside the mine, with his back to the entrance, there was little light, and he couldn't quite see whether it was a pebble or something else.
He gently turned around, holding the shovel in his left hand, to face the mine shaft, wanting the sunlight to shine on the shovel.
When the sunlight shone on the shovel, the object immediately emitted its own dark yellow glow.
At that moment, Chen Feng's breathing became rapid, his eyes widened instantly, and he instinctively covered his mouth with his right hand, utterly shocked!
The reason is simple: this thing is just too big!
This is why Chen Feng wasn't sure whether it was a commodity or a pebble when he first saw it.
The dark yellow gold lay quietly in the shovel, its brilliance accentuated by the surrounding black soil.
Chen Feng was stunned for several seconds before he came to his senses, still in disbelief.
Without even looking closely, he grabbed the shovel in his left hand and the detector in his right, and ran straight out of the cave.
Only after leaving the cave could he inspect the goods with peace of mind.
The moment he stepped out of the cave and breathed in the warm air, he felt how wonderful the world was.
After taking only a few steps, he threw the detector on the ground and picked up the gold to examine it carefully.
This gold nugget is about the same size as the gold-plated stone from last time. The only difference is that this time there are no stones at all; it's all gold!
Chen Feng estimated that such a large piece of gold must weigh at least ten grams.
This is the biggest find he's ever made!
Even the most conservative estimate is that it's worth three thousand dollars!
After assessing the value, Chen Feng felt an urge to burst into laughter.
When he came, he estimated that he would be very happy to earn a thousand, and he would be satisfied if he could earn a thousand five.
But to his utter surprise, at just ten o'clock, the value of the goods he had found far exceeded 1,500, even more than double.
"Hahahaha, who says you can't shop when the weather is bad? From now on, I'll only come on cloudy days. That's when you'll find the best deals, hahaha."
Chen Feng played with the gold, completely captivated by it. He gently tossed it up with his hand, caught it, took out a small bottle, opened the cap, and put the gold inside.
Looking back, he saw Huang Fei panning for gold in the distance, squatting on the ground digging, completely unaware of him.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Feng felt incredibly refreshed. He couldn't resist lighting a cigarette and exhaling a puff of bluish smoke.
Cool!
Including the previous stock in the bottle, it should be around three thousand three hundred. Let's work harder today and see if we can exceed four thousand.
Records are meant to be broken, aren't they?
He casually searched for targets in the abandoned mine, and just as he finished his cigarette, the system's voice rang out.
"bite!"
“There are precious metals within a three-meter radius of the host.”
Hearing the sound, Chen Feng couldn't help but laugh: "You're so sensible, you even know to wait until I finish my cigarette before ringing."
Chen Feng flicked the cigarette butt into a graceful arc, walked in a circle, and then began to probe line by line.
When they reached the second row, the detector went off. Chen Feng squatted down, pulled out a shovel, and shoveled it down hard.
Regardless of whether we can shovel it or not, we can't lose our momentum. Even if we can't shovel it, we can still scare the stuff below half to death.
Before the detector could even pass through the hole, Chen Feng saw that there was half a grayish-white object in the deepest part of the pit, while the other half was still buried in the soil.
Chen Feng casually tossed the soil through the detector and then picked up the silver particles.
"Twenty-odd dollars in hand, easy peasy." Chen Feng smiled and put the silver granules into the bottle.
Standing up and carrying the detector, Chen Feng's eyes darted around, trying to find any iron blocks or wires on the ground.
Otherwise, what am I supposed to tell Huang Fei when I get back? Did I spend the whole morning squatting on the ground digging and not even find a wire?
That's unrealistic; it would just be fooling idiots.
Unfortunately, Chen Feng scanned the wire carefully with the detector for a long time, but he couldn't find even a single wire.
"Honestly, it's so hard for me to find even some scrap metal. All I get is gold and silver. It's so frustrating."
Looking at the time, Chen Feng sighed. He realized he had been up for half an hour.
Oh well, I don't usually collect wire anyway. The angle iron I picked up last time is still in Huang Fei's car.
Chen Feng was too lazy to sell it, and Huang Fei didn't urge him to, so it just sat there.
Let's just fool the idiots, Huang Fei should believe it, right?
As Chen Feng walked back while sweeping, his system beeped again.
This place was difficult to sweep, as it was full of large rocks. Chen Feng roughly determined the location and then placed the detector on the rocks to begin scanning.
Let's find out about the goods first.
Chen Feng stepped on the stone, swaying left and right as he probed, unable to stand steadily. Fortunately, the detector beeped when it scanned the middle.
Chen Feng squatted down and first threw the stones aside to make room for the soil underneath.
Then I took the small shovel and started shoveling.
Because of the stones blocking the way, the soil underneath was very damp, and several ants were crawling around.
Chen Feng discovered that this place looked like an ant nest, with a small hole through which ants were going in and out.
Chen Feng blew hard to shovel the ants aside, to prevent digging up a two-spotted ant with each stroke of the shovel, before finally starting to dig.
The first shovel yielded nothing, so Chen Feng started on the second.
After several shovelfuls, the detector placed on the rock finally sounded.
Chen Feng dug into the damp soil with his hands and found a silver coin worth about twenty or thirty yuan.
After putting the silver granules into the bottle, Chen Feng stood up, looked back at the pit in the ground, kicked a few stones back to restore its original shape, and then left with the detector.
His intention was to help the ants restore their original environment, but Chen Feng noticed that it seemed a stone was pressing down on the ants...
Ants are said to be able to move things hundreds of times their own size, so they should be able to move the stone by themselves, right?
It definitely can, Chen Feng believes in them anyway.
Seeing that it was almost time, Chen Feng went to his car to eat something and rest.
As soon as I got back to the car, I saw Huang Fei excitedly opening his lunchbox.
"Holy crap, Fengzi, do you know what? I just found another piece of silver. Can you tell me how much it's worth?" Huang Fei eagerly took out a small bottle and handed it to Chen Feng.
"The smaller one on the left is it."
Chen Feng glanced at the small bottle, nodded, and said, "About fifteen yuan?"
"Wow, it's worth fifteen!" Huang Fei happily took the bottle, quite satisfied.
