With a whoosh, Chen Feng's hands moved so fast they were almost blurry, shovelful after shovelful of soil flying everywhere, all connected together.
After seven or eight shovelfuls, Chen Feng finally heard the sound of the detector.
"Ooh-woo~"
Because Chen Feng didn't pause at all, the moment he heard the sound, the shovel of soil in his hand was also thrown out.
Chen Feng paused upon hearing the sound, casually tossed the shovel aside, and without caring about his image, braced himself forward with both hands.
Right where he had just thrown the small pile of sand, his eyes darted back and forth, searching for the one that had gone off.
Three seconds later, Chen Feng spotted the tiny gold nugget floating on the sand. Without even looking at it closely, he grabbed it and stuffed it into his backpack, not even bothering to put it in a bottle.
The entire series of operations was completed in one smooth motion. Chen Feng was only at ease after putting the gold nuggets into his bag. He let out a long breath, sat down on the ground, and looked back at Huang Fei, who was running towards him.
Huang Fei was now less than ten meters away from him.
"Fengzi, Fengzi, look at this thing of mine, it's huge, hahaha!"
Huang Fei was so excited that he didn't even have time to catch his breath. He quickly walked over and opened his palm to show Chen Feng the silver nuggets he had panned out.
That silver nugget was indeed quite large; Chen Feng estimated it was worth about forty yuan.
"Wow, Dafei, you're amazing! This is really big. To ship such a large one on your first shipment is impressive!" Chen Feng exclaimed in amazement as he looked at the silver grain.
"Hahaha, I'm so awesome, I found such a great deal right away." Huang Fei was extremely proud, hands on his hips, standing tall and proud.
After catching his breath, Huang Fei realized that Chen Feng seemed to be breathing lightly as well.
"No, I was running, why are you panting? You've been standing here without moving." Huang Fei said with amusement when he saw him squatting down and browsing the goods.
You're tired after just a few swings of the shovel?
"It's nothing, my legs just got numb from squatting," Chen Feng said, standing up and kicking his legs to cover it up.
Just kidding, don't you know what it means to have a guilty conscience?
Don't even mention me, this is an extreme maneuver, you'd be stumped if you tried it.
"By the way, I saw you browsing here earlier, what did you find?" Huang Fei asked Chen Feng curiously as he put the rare silver nuggets into a small bottle.
"I didn't find anything, just a piece of broken wire," Chen Feng said, waving his hand.
"So you haven't won a single hand today?" Huang Fei asked in surprise.
"Of course, it only made two noises and it was all junk, damn it." Chen Feng kicked the hole he had just dug to show his dissatisfaction.
Hearing this, Huang Fei felt even more smug and was overjoyed.
Even Chen Feng, who was known as the "Gold Rush Saint," hadn't found any goods yet, but he had already found some himself.
Doesn't that mean I'm even more powerful than Chen Feng?
Just say you have a talent for this job!
Huang Fei happily stuffed the bottle into his pocket, then grinned as he held the detector, saying with the air of someone who'd been there all along, "Fengzi, you'd better keep it up. If you keep going like this, won't you let me surpass you?"
Chen Feng bent down to pick up the detector, sighed and said, "Indeed, you're so lucky today. You came up with a forty-yuan silver coin right away, while I didn't even get one."
After exchanging a few words, the two continued panning for gold.
Just as Chen Feng had guessed, Huang Fei casually started browsing around the area.
And the item I just found actually turned out to be gold.
If Chen Feng missed this opportunity, he would regret it to death.
Huang Fei was full of enthusiasm and energy at the moment, and did not notice at all that Chen Feng was getting further and further away from him.
To be honest, Chen Feng's mind was completely occupied with that gold nugget. He just wanted to get away from Huang Fei as soon as possible and then take out his bag to see what the purity of that gold nugget was.
After getting about 70 or 80 meters away from Huang Fei, Chen Feng quietly turned around to look at Huang Fei, squatted down, took off his bag, and rummaged through it.
He soon spotted the gold nugget, picked it up, and examined it closely.
This gold nugget is really small. Chen Feng estimates it's at most a gram, or even less than a gram.
After accounting for losses, it would only cost around two hundred yuan.
But then again, even though this gold nugget is a bit small, it's still worth two hundred yuan, which is quite valuable.
Chen Feng took out a small bottle and put the gold nuggets in it. This time, he didn't separate the gold and silver into different bottles; instead, he put them all in one bottle.
He planned to empty a bottle and show it to Huang Fei later to prove that he really hadn't found anything.
As for everyone having two bottles, where did Chen Feng's other bottle go?
"I forgot to bring it at home," such a simple and crude excuse. Chen Feng never did his homework since he was a child, and he always used this excuse. There was never a time when he didn't do his homework.
Don't ask, the answer is I forgot to bring it.
After putting the bottle away, Chen Feng slung his bag over his shoulder and continued on his way.
I have to say, panning for gold on a cloudy day is actually quite nice. There's no sun, the air isn't stuffy, and it's quite refreshing.
As long as it doesn't rain, everything is fine.
If this were a sunny day, the sun would be scorching hot by now. In this vast, barren wasteland, there's nowhere to hide.
You'll be sweating profusely in just half an hour. It's unbearably hot, even the bottled water in your bag feels scorching. It's perfectly normal for the back of your backpack to be completely soaked.
Chen Feng walked forward, casually carrying the detector in his hand, completely unconcerned about whether there was gold under his feet.
If other veteran gold prospectors saw this, they would definitely curse under their breath, "Are you panning for gold or taking a stroll? You don't look like you're panning for gold at all!"
Unfortunately, this is how Chen Feng makes his fortune.
"bite!"
“There is precious metal within a three-meter radius of the host!”
Upon hearing the sound, Chen Feng slightly shrugged his shoulders, a smile playing on his lips, and began drawing circles on the ground.
After finishing the drawing, Chen Feng held the detector with both hands and scanned it line by line from the beginning, making sure not to miss any part.
Of course, you can also push the scanner forward and scan it if you want; Chen Feng's detection method mainly depends on his mood.
Sometimes it's upright, sometimes it's upside down, as long as it doesn't leak.
After drawing one-third of the way, Chen Feng's detector went off. He squatted down, knocked the detector over, and took out a small shovel.
I shoveled a handful of soil and ran it over the detector.
"Ooh-woo~"
Chen Feng raised an eyebrow slightly upon hearing the sound. He scooped out the goods with the first shovel, which looked pretty good.
The top layer of soil wasn't too wet, so Chen Feng didn't need to dig it down; he could just shake it gently.
Each shake removes a layer, and Chen Feng passes it through the detector every time it shakes down a bit.
Although the shipment was fast, it took some time to find the goods.
Chen Feng shook the shovel seven or eight times in a row, but the goods were still in the shovel. He was so shaken that he almost developed Parkinson's disease.
Finally, when there was only a little soil left in the shovel, Chen Feng reached out and scooped it up, and saw the silver grain right in the center of the shovel.
He picked it up and blew on it gently. The silver nugget was quite large; Chen Feng estimated it was worth nearly forty yuan.
Chen Feng took out a small bottle and put it in, then shoveled the shovel back into his backpack, patted the dirt off his hands, and stood up with the detector in his hand.
He looked up and saw a large slope in front of him, with a dark cave entrance at the front of the slope.
That's a mine shaft.
