Chapter 177 Isn't this just pure beachcombing?



"Then come on, get your things, get your things!"

Someone waved their hand and urged them on.

Everyone went back to their cars to get their things. Huang Fei prepared to drive, and Chen Feng also returned to his car, ready to find a place ahead.

Although it would only be a few hours until dark, since everyone else was going, he decided to go along too.

After driving for more than ten minutes, Chen Feng stopped the car and began packing his things.

Everyone got off the bus with their packed belongings and scattered. Of course, they wouldn't go far today, and they consciously explored their surroundings.

Chen Feng carried the detector forward, and sure enough, after walking for about seven or eight minutes, the system actually started beeping.

He squatted down, took out a pickaxe, and scooped up a clump of soil. The dry sand on top was mixed with the soil below, and Chen Feng scooped it out.

After pulling the soil six or seven more times, a large mound of earth appeared in front of Chen Feng. He pulled over the detector and tested it, but the detector made no sound.

He switched to a small shovel, scooped it up hard, and the shovel went into the damp soil. Surprisingly, it felt good, just like digging into a wet beach. It was quite relaxing.

Chen Feng shoveled out a full shovel of soil. Because it was wet, the soil was so thick that not a single bit spilled out, and the shape was kept remarkably well.

He ran the shovel over the detector, but it made no sound. Chen Feng then dumped the soil aside.

The soil on the ground split into two large pieces in the middle, which is quite artistic.

Chen Feng continued shoveling away, one scoop at a time, until about three or four scoops later, when the detector went off.

This time, shaking off the mud was also difficult, as each shake produced a large chunk, making it hard to tell whether the item had actually fallen off. Chen Feng simply started digging it up with his hands.

He peeled away layer by layer until he felt it was about right, then passed it through the detector.

After peeling away about a third of it, Chen Feng saw something that he seemed to have peeled out, and he looked down to search for it.

He quickly retrieved the unusual item.

A small silver coin is probably worth a few tens of dollars.

Chen Feng cleaned off all the dirt attached to the silver nuggets and then put them into a small bottle.

He stood up, carrying his tools, and saw that the ground under the bushes in front of him was still damp.

I guess it's because the shrubs are blocking the sunlight.

He walked forward, wanting to see if there was any stock down there.

After wandering around the area for a while, the system showed no sign of beeping, so Chen Feng had no choice but to leave with his tools.

After taking a few steps forward, on flat ground, the system beeped, so Chen Feng squatted down and this time used a shovel directly.

It's quite efficient to dig up a big chunk with a shovel, and it's like building a sandcastle on the beach, which is pretty fun.

Chen Feng only had three hours today, so he wasn't too tired and decided to play around.

As he shoveled away at the mud, Chen Feng suddenly remembered the short videos of beachcombing he had watched before.

They just take a small shovel and a rake, and dig wherever they see something to eat. In no time, they can dig out a razor clam or a crab from the sand pile.

I'm no different from them. I'm just digging here with a small shovel, and I'll be able to dig out gold and silver in no time.

It's just that they can eat that, but I can't.

In no time, Chen Feng dug out a sand pile, and the detector went off.

Chen Feng started rummaging through the shovel, and a silver nugget quickly appeared in his hand.

Twenty or thirty yuan is better than nothing.

Chen Feng wasn't expecting to find any big deals today; he just wanted to scrape together a thousand yuan. He planned to work harder tomorrow once the business was completely finished.

Even though the ground is dry, there's still water accumulating under many of the dense bushes.

Some of the potholes are filled with water, making many places inaccessible.

If Chen Feng had brought a pair of boots, he could have gotten through without any trouble, but unfortunately he didn't.

Even knowing it would rain here, he couldn't be bothered to bring them. You can't shop in the rain anyway, so why bother bringing a pair of boots that would take up space? He wouldn't need them for ages.

Chen Feng loaded the goods, picked up the detector, and walked forward. Soon he passed a bush.

As he approached, he saw the damp, dark soil under the bush. He tried to walk away, but unexpectedly, the system beeped at that moment.

"Wow, you've got some good stuff, sis."

Chen Feng was somewhat surprised to see this, but he could only walk over, pick up the detector, and begin to probe from the outside.

Unfortunately, after searching the perimeter for a long time, the detector didn't go off, proving that the goods were under the bushes.

Chen Feng looked at the damp soil, hesitated, and then looked down at his pants.

If I were to crawl in there, not to mention how dirty it would be, my pants would be completely soaked.

But since things had come to this, Chen Feng had no choice but to extend the detector under the tree to see where the goods were.

If it's too difficult to clean, Chen Feng will have no choice but to crawl in and get wet.

After probing under the bushes for a long time, Chen Feng's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

We've explored this entire area, but the detector still hasn't made a sound.

After exploring every area, Chen Feng leaned on the detector, his brows furrowed.

His first thought was of the situation in the small abandoned mine, where the cargo was buried very deep and the detector couldn't find it, but his system detected it.

Could this product also be in the same situation?

Looking at the damp ground, Chen Feng felt a headache coming on.

If that's the case, it's much harder to dig than a small abandoned mine, because there's a shrub standing there that you can't kneel down or bend over.

Chen Feng carefully explored the area again, just in case he made a mistake and ended up missing something, which would be troublesome.

Unfortunately, a dozen minutes later, Chen Feng looked at the land in front of him and took a deep breath.

The good news is that his technique was fine; he detected the goods very accurately and didn't miss any.

The bad news is, he's going to dig another huge hole.

Chen Feng put the detector and backpack aside, picked up his pickaxe and shovel, and prepared to get to work.

Finding a corner, Chen Feng started shoveling soil. When he had shoveled out a hole and it was too difficult to shovel any more, Chen Feng assumed a horse stance, gripped a small shovel with both hands, and began forcefully throwing soil forward from under his pants.

He tossed up shovelful after shovelful of soil, creating a spectacular sight from the side, with the soil almost connecting the clods of earth.

Having raised it nearly enough, Chen Feng, maintaining his horse stance, jumped to the right and continued raising it.

After finishing his speech, Chen Feng was covered in sweat. He sat down on the ground, took a deep breath, and lit a cigarette.

This method is indeed efficient, but the downside is that it's too tiring; your arms will ache very quickly.

Chen Feng took a drag of his cigarette and observed the row he had dug. He noticed that the deeper he dug, the wetter the soil underneath seemed to become.

Chen Feng pinched a little bit in the ditch and rubbed it, confirming his guess; it was indeed true.

After quickly finishing his cigarette, Chen Feng stood up, picked up the shovel, and continued working.

He just calculated the time, and it seems that once the cargo is unearthed, he should be heading back.
