Moreover, at the very front of the pit was a mound of earth, a sight Chen Feng had seen before—the traces left by excavators panning for gold.
The pit is about a meter deep; people can go down in without any problems.
So private mines also allow gold panning with excavators.
Chen Feng was unaware of this before, as he had no immediate plans to use an excavator to pan for gold, so he hadn't paid attention to it.
He looked closely, wanting to know how much merchandise had been scavenged here, but it seemed like a long time had passed, and he could only vaguely see one or two pits.
Even if there are other pits, they will be smoothed out by the wind over time.
Chen Feng looked around and saw that the goods were located right at the edge of the pit, so he didn't need to go down.
But that's normal. The goods in the pit have probably all been dug up by others long ago, so there aren't many left to pick up.
Chen Feng squatted down by the pit and started digging with a shovel.
This time it was much easier; the excavated soil was simply thrown into the big pit, filling the big pit with the small one.
Chen Feng didn't know how many shovelfuls he had dug, but he felt he had dug enough and stopped. This time, he didn't dare to dig too much.
If he accidentally dug too far and spilled the goods into the pit, Chen Feng would have to go down into the pit to retrieve them.
After about eight or nine shovelfuls of soil, Chen Feng's detector gave feedback.
Chen Feng shook the shovel and started digging with his hands.
Before long, Chen Feng found a small piece of gold.
The gold wasn't much, but Chen Feng estimated it was worth a few hundred yuan, which was quite good.
"Thank you for saving me some goods, brother." Chen Feng gently tossed the gold into the air, caught it, and chuckled softly as he looked at the pit.
After putting the gold into the bottle, Chen Feng looked at the pit, pondered for a moment, and then went down into it.
He was just trying it out, just in case there was a leak.
Finding these bargains is even more satisfying than regular shopping.
Unfortunately, Chen Feng wandered around in the pit, but the system didn't give him any hints.
After climbing out of the pit and onto the mound of earth, the system still did not respond.
It seems they thoroughly searched this area, leaving no spot untouched.
Chen Feng sighed inwardly at the pity and stepped down from the mound.
The first thing Chen Feng did after getting off was to sit on the ground, take off his shoes, and empty the sand out of them.
After sweeping away the sand and putting on his shoes, Chen Feng carried his things and continued walking forward.
After walking for about six or seven minutes, the system "dinged," and Chen Feng knew the goods had arrived without the system saying anything further.
After a quick glance around, Chen Feng pinpointed the location of the goods. He walked over, squatted down, and began digging diligently with a shovel.
Before long, he dug a hole, switched to a small shovel, and squatted on the ground, slowly working the soil.
"Ooh-woo~"
Upon hearing the sound, Chen Feng shook the shovel slightly and began to dig around with his hands.
Chen Feng quickly found something in the soil. He picked it up and saw that it was a silver nugget, worth about seventy or eighty yuan.
After packing his things, Chen Feng found a direction that looked good and continued walking forward.
An hour and a half later, Chen Feng finished the second bottle of water, tilted his head back to empty the bottle, crushed the empty bottle, and threw it back into his bag.
Although the second bottle was a huge block of ice, the weather was too hot, and even a huge block of ice wouldn't last long.
Moreover, Chen Feng even added water to the bottle halfway through drinking it.
"I'll freeze three bottles and bring them out tomorrow, that way we can last a little longer."
Chen Feng made up his mind, looked around, ran to a spot, squatted down, and started digging with a shovel.
As each shovelful of soil was kicked up, Chen Feng drew closer and closer to the goods.
Once he felt it was about right, Chen Feng switched to a small shovel and started shoveling the soil.
After three or four shovelfuls, Chen Feng found the goods.
Chen Feng felt his legs getting numb from squatting for so long. He stood up to rest for a moment before squatting down again to continue shaking off the dirt.
After shaking down a small amount of shovel, Chen Feng rummaged around in the shovel and soon found a silver grain inside.
It costs around forty or fifty yuan.
Chen Feng raised an eyebrow, put the silver granules into the bottle, stood up, stretched, and walked forward with his tools.
Time quickly came to 6:30. Since Chen Feng no longer needed to cook or start a fire, he could go back and eat ready-made meals.
So he stayed out a little late, planning to go back after it got dark.
"I'll go back for dinner once I find another shipment," Chen Feng muttered to himself, glancing up at the sky.
He tallied his earnings for the day, which came to about 32,000 yuan. In the past, at abandoned mines in small villages, he would only earn an average of 26,000 to 27,000 yuan. It just goes to show that there is indeed a significant difference between paid mining sites and abandoned mines.
"bite!"
“There is precious metal within a six-meter radius of the host!”
Chen Feng hadn't expected the last piece of goods to arrive so quickly. He looked around, took a few steps forward, and squatted down.
Chen Feng picked up his shovel and started digging, full of energy at the thought of being able to eat the uncle's cooking soon.
Of course, when people are hungry, everything tastes good. Now, let alone the food the uncle makes, even the pig swill stewed by Zheng Ping seems alright to Chen Feng.
The object wasn't buried very deep. Chen Feng poked at it for a while and felt it was about right, so he switched to a small shovel and started clearing the soil.
Chen Feng quickly found the goods, shook the shovel, and started digging with his hands.
Upon seeing the color of the goods, Chen Feng subconsciously smiled.
The surface of the goods is a dark yellow color, and the size is also acceptable.
Chen Feng weighed it and estimated it to be worth about two or three thousand yuan.
"Haha, not bad, 35,000 a day, perfect finish." Chen Feng rubbed the small gold nugget, put it into a small bottle, and then couldn't wait to head to Wuling.
After getting into the car, Chen Feng saw the Zhang family compound seventeen minutes later.
There were two other people walking back and forth outside the compound. Chen Feng drove the car in and realized they were an older man and woman.
Chen Feng rolled down the car window and greeted them.
"Wandering around, do you need me to give you two a ride home?"
"Haha, you're back! No need, no need, we'll be back soon. Do you want to eat?" the uncle asked with a smile.
"Yes, I'm looking forward to eating Uncle's food." Chen Feng nodded expectantly.
"Okay, okay, go back and wash your face first, I'll be right back." The uncle nodded.
"It's okay, I can serve myself. You two can wander around a bit more, no rush," Chen Feng said, waving his hand.
"It's alright, it's alright. We've been strolling around for ages, and your auntie is tired. You go back and wait for me," the uncle said with a wave of his hand and a smile.
"Okay." Chen Feng drove the car into the courtyard and got out with his things.
Upon entering the house, I saw two strangers walking around; they were probably other gold prospectors.
After he returned to his room and washed up, he saw that the uncle was already serving him rice.
It looked like there wasn't much food, so the uncle kept scraping the bottom of the bucket until he filled a plate with rice and dishes before he put it on the table.
