It can only be said that Chen Feng has more and more tools now. If this continues, he may not be able to fit them all in a backpack.
After digging with the small shovel for only a few strokes, Chen Feng started using the detector.
With a "whoosh~" sound, Chen Feng began to lightly shake the shovel in his hand.
This place is sand and gravel, much easier to sift than mud. After shaking it a few times, Chen Feng started digging with his hands.
A short while later, Chen Feng found a silver nugget in the shovel, which looked to be worth about thirty or forty yuan.
"ah?"
Chen Feng looked at the silver grains in his hand with a puzzled expression. How come this mine, which cost money, is not as good as an abandoned mine in the wild? Yet it still has such small silver grains.
I wonder if I've been fooled?
Could it be that what the old man said was true? Sometimes, a mine that costs money to build is not as good as a good abandoned mine in the wild?
After putting away the silver coins, Chen Feng stood up, full of doubt, ready to continue forward. He wanted to see if he was just unlucky and if this place really wasn't right for him.
But if this place really isn't good, then probably no gold prospectors would come here, since this mine has been open for a long time and isn't a newly opened one.
With these questions in mind, Chen Feng walked forward. After walking for less than ten minutes, his system gave him another prompt.
He looked around to confirm the location of the goods, then walked over, squatted down, and plunged a shovel into the ground.
Then, with a gentle flick, Chen Feng scooped up a full shovelful of soil and casually tossed it aside.
He dug and dug, and soon a hole was dug out by Chen Feng.
He put down the big shovel, switched to the small one, and knelt on the ground to start shoveling dirt.
Because the pit was a bit deep, Chen Feng had to kneel on the ground to dig it.
After three or four shovelfuls, the detector went off. Chen Feng shook the soil off the shovel and continued testing the detector.
But when the detector went silent again, Chen Feng knew that he had accidentally dropped the goods.
He looked at the small clump of soil he had shaken off and had a bad feeling.
That little bit of dirt is impossible to cover up if the item were any bigger.
However, Chen Feng glanced at the package but couldn't see where it was, so it would be strange to have a good feeling about it.
Sure enough, as Chen Feng rubbed the ground, he saw a small silver grain. Chen Feng squinted at the silver grain, his mind racing with a thousand thoughts.
What is this, buddy?!
These silver grains are only worth ten or eight yuan. Chen Feng hasn't seen such tiny silver grains in a long time.
Even abandoned mines in hilly areas, let alone small village mines, don't produce silver grains this small.
Chen Feng couldn't help but sigh as he stood up and put the silver granules into the bottle.
“This five hundred yuan is worse than Zhao Si’s father’s death.”
He shook his head, carrying the detector in his left hand and the shovel in his right, and continued walking forward.
He really didn't expect the mine to be like this. Could a fee-based mine be this bad?
He genuinely couldn't tell whether he was just incredibly unlucky or if the mine was just inherently bad.
After walking for about seven or eight minutes, Chen Feng's system beeped again.
Putting everything else aside, the yield of this mine is indeed quite high, much higher than that of abandoned mines.
Unfortunately, the two items from this place are not as good as one item from the abandoned mine in the small village.
After scanning back and forth, Chen Feng confirmed the location of the goods, squatted down, put down the detector, and started digging with a shovel.
Chen Feng felt that this item wasn't buried very deep; it seemed like he could dig it out in a dozen or so tries.
After digging more than a dozen shovelfuls of soil, Chen Feng felt like he had overdug it, and the goods had already been thrown out.
There was no way around it; the new shovel was just too good, and I ended up digging too far without even realizing it.
After probing with the detector and confirming that he had indeed dug out the goods, Chen Feng picked up a small shovel and began to work the soil around them.
Because the goods were on top of the mound, Chen Feng quickly retrieved them.
Shaking the shovel, Chen Feng began searching back and forth, and soon he found the object.
"well…"
Chen Feng shook his head as he looked at the goods in his hand.
It was still a single silver coin, worth about thirty-four yuan.
"What are all these things...?"
Chen Feng put the silver coins away and began to realize that he had been scammed.
Perhaps it's because he has a system, so there's no difference between abandoned mines and paid mines in the wild to him.
Picking up his tools, Chen Feng continued walking forward, lighting a cigarette to relieve his worries.
I wonder how much money Zheng Ping and his friends have made now; they probably have more than him.
After walking for about ten minutes, Chen Feng's system beeped again.
Although the goods here are rubbish, the drop rate is indeed quite high.
He squatted down, picked up a shovel, and started digging. Chen Feng's curiosity about the new mine had vanished without a trace.
He dug one shovelful after another. This pit was about the same depth as the first one. After he had dug it to a certain extent, Chen Feng switched to a small shovel and started shoveling the soil.
After a few shovelfuls, Chen Feng's detector emitted a "whoosh~" sound.
With a slight shake of the shovel, Chen Feng saw a golden object emerge from the soil.
"Um?"
Upon seeing this, Chen Feng raised an eyebrow and couldn't help but smile. This was finally something interesting.
He reached out and took out the item, a gold ingot. Chen Feng weighed it in his hand and estimated it to be worth around three thousand yuan.
Chen Feng looked at the gold nugget with great satisfaction, smiled slightly, put the gold nugget into the bottle, picked up his tools, and continued walking forward.
Now that's more like a paid mining site.
But as Chen Feng walked further ahead, he saw what looked like a pit.
He walked over, squatted down, looked at it, and reached in to take a look.
This is a pit left by gold prospectors, and judging from the marks, it seems to have been left a few days ago.
Well, it seems there's no point in going any further; the gold pans ahead have already been panned by other prospectors.
So Chen Feng changed direction and walked to the side.
After walking for a few minutes, Chen Feng did not see any more of the dug pits, and he felt a little relieved.
After walking for another four or five minutes, Chen Feng's system beeped again, and this time he was finally able to relax completely.
After glancing back and forth, Chen Feng walked to the left, squatted down, and precisely dug a hole with a shovel.
As Chen Feng shoveled away, one shovelful after another, shovelfuls of soil flew up, and the pit in front of him grew bigger and bigger.
This pit was deeper than the previous ones, so Chen Feng simply knelt down and started digging.
Once he felt it was about time, Chen Feng switched to a small shovel and began shoveling soil into the pit, one shovelful at a time.
"Ooh-woo~"
The detector beeped, confirming that Chen Feng had dug out the cargo. He shook the soil off the shovel and started digging with his hands.
After searching for a long time, Chen Feng still couldn't find the goods. He could only shake the shovel again and let it pass through the detector.
The detector made a sound, proving that the goods were still in the shovel. Only after shaking off most of the soil from the shovel did Chen Feng start searching.
This time it was much easier to find, and Chen Feng quickly got his hands on the goods.
It's a gold nugget; no wonder it's so hard to find.
