Chen Feng gently shook the shovel and saw the item that had surfaced in it.
Upon seeing the object, Chen Feng blinked, tilted his head forward slightly, and stared at the shovel with some disbelief.
"ah?"
Chen Feng's smile widened, and he scratched the back of his head, looking somewhat bewildered.
Chen Feng reached out and picked up the item, then chuckled.
"My God, this works?"
The piece in Chen Feng's hand emitted a dark yellow luster and was quite large, only slightly smaller than the piece from yesterday.
Chen Feng estimated that it would be worth at least 12,000 yuan.
Holding the gold in his hand, Chen Feng felt that fate was playing tricks on him.
This gambler was so poor he had creditors everywhere, and he was trying every possible way to raise money to win back his losses.
He probably never imagined that, until his death, there would be a gold nugget worth 12,000 yuan right under his doghouse.
Fate can be really interesting sometimes.
The thing you desperately want might be less than a few centimeters away from you, but you have no idea it.
"Giving this piece of gold to you would be a waste. It can be of some use if it stays with me. Even the gold itself wouldn't want to stay with a gambling addict."
Chen Feng put the gold into the small bottle, smiled, and walked out with his things.
As soon as Chen Feng stepped out of the house, he felt the sun shining directly on him, and a scorching heat washed over him.
"Phew, this is really something." Chen Feng looked up and walked forward.
This small house, located in an abandoned mine, has completely lost its value. Perhaps in the future, someone will come and it will become a place for some gold prospector to cool off.
But that has nothing to do with Chen Feng.
After walking for about ten minutes, Chen Feng looked around and frowned slightly.
It wasn't because the environment was particularly harsh, but because small pits had appeared around it.
Chen Feng was very familiar with that pit; it was the small pit where they panned for gold.
Chen Feng squatted down and took a look. The pit wasn't newly dug, but it seemed to have been dug not long ago, probably within a few months.
Gold prospectors have already been here, so there's no point in Chen Feng searching for treasure here anymore.
After taking a few more steps forward, Chen Feng couldn't help but curse under his breath.
He could see four or five pits at a glance; if they were all filled with goods, how much would they cost?
After thinking it over for a moment, Chen Feng decided to continue walking forward and see what happens.
If the density of goods here is very high, he felt that the gold prospectors would never be able to dig them all up.
I might as well go and try my luck; it won't take long anyway.
After walking for about seven or eight minutes, Chen Feng saw two more small pits.
As he passed by, Chen Feng checked the depth.
It didn't look too deep, so Chen Feng felt the chances of it being real goods were probably not very high.
After walking for a few more minutes, Chen Feng's system beeped. He glanced around, drew a range, and began to probe.
As the probe moved down line by line, it emitted a sound roughly in the middle.
Chen Feng squatted down and began to dig the soil with a small pickaxe, and a pit similar to the one before gradually took shape.
Chen Feng picked up the detector and scanned it, discovering that the goods had already been dug out. So he took a small shovel and began to clear the soil.
After a few shovelfuls, a silver nugget appeared in his hand.
The silver granules were worth about thirty, and Chen Feng put them into a small bottle.
"I told you there would be leaks," Chen Feng said with a smile.
All gold prospectors used the same method: carrying a detector, scanning left and right, and then walking forward.
Although everyone tries to expand the search area as much as possible, the key is that a person's arm is only so long; how far can you stretch it?
This means they are destined to be unable to fully explore a place, even if the density of goods in that place is very high; they are powerless to do so.
This gave Chen Feng an opportunity to take advantage of the situation. Chen Feng's detection method, which covered a radius of four meters, was simply straightforward and crude.
So as long as the density of goods in a place is high enough, Chen Feng can still give it a try even if he knows that other gold prospectors have been there.
Carrying the detector, Chen Feng continued walking forward and saw a water bottle buried in a pit.
Chen Feng walked over, pulled out the water bottle, and looked at the label on it.
The words printed on it were somewhat blurred, probably due to the wind and sand, but Chen Feng was certain that he had never seen this kind of water before.
Perhaps it's a small local brand; many cities and counties have this kind of mineral water factory, including the one in the city near Chen Feng's house.
They don't sell their water outside the local area; it's sold locally because it's cheap, so sales are decent there.
After throwing away the bottle, Chen Feng headed towards some places that seemed to have goods.
"bite!"
“There is precious metal within a four-meter radius of the host!”
As the system notification sounded, Chen Feng's intuition proved correct; there really was something in this place.
Chen Feng drew a boundary and then began to search for the goods with the detector.
As you explore row by row, you'll find that the pebbles here aren't too big, making it relatively easy to explore without losing your footing and stumbling.
When he was about two-thirds of the way through, Chen Feng’s detector beeped. He squatted down, took out his small pickaxe, and began to shovel soil.
This thing is indeed efficient, but it is limited by the terrain. It can scoop up soil over a large area, but it becomes a bit difficult once you reach a certain size.
Because it has to move in an arc in the pit, when the pit exceeds a certain depth, it falls back into the pit before the soil can be scooped out.
Therefore, Chen Feng would switch to a small shovel after passing the detector, as it was more convenient.
Now Chen Feng understands a little why anglers accumulate more and more equipment the longer they've been fishing.
He was the same way; he started with just two bottles, a shovel, a detector, and a backpack.
Goodness, it's gotten this far. It's a modified Wuling van with two detectors, a small shovel and pickaxe, a ventilation stove, alcohol paste, GPS, and a whole bunch of other stuff inside.
If he searches for another few months and the car still can't fit everything, Chen Feng thinks that's normal, since it will definitely be useful.
They pulled over a detector and checked it out. They found the goods were still in the pit, so Chen Feng picked up a small shovel and continued to clear the soil.
They shoveled away, one shovel at a time, and after about a dozen shovelfuls, the detector went off.
Chen Feng gently shook the soil off the shovel and continued using the detector.
After a few moments, Chen Feng shook out the goods.
It's still a silver nugget, but this one is quite large, worth about seventy or eighty yuan.
After putting away the silver coins, Chen Feng carried the things forward. After walking for about ten minutes, Chen Feng unconsciously stopped.
It wasn't because the system gave a prompt, but because the situation in front of me was rather spectacular.
In front of me was a pit more than half a meter deep, which seemed to cover an area of at least six or seven hundred square meters.
At the very front, there's a rather tall mound of earth that slopes upwards.
This was clearly done by an excavator; they dug such a big hole here, like they plowed the land.
"Are people really bringing in excavators to pan for gold?" Chen Feng understood what was going on after a little thought.
He had only heard about it before, but this time he finally saw it for the first time.
