The three of them hurriedly took out the sapper shovel, which is a German-made sapper shovel, made of alloy, which can be used as a tool and self-defense, the front section is a sharp cone-shaped shovel, on both sides, one side is a serration, one side is a cutting edge, and it can be used as an axe to chop and cut wood.

With a crank handle on the back, it can be disassembled and assembled.

On the surface, you can't buy it, it's all smuggled, and it costs more than 400 yuan for a handful.

Zhao Guangming carried a sapper shovel and walked around the river beach, found this piece of rubble overgrown, searched carefully for a while, dug some pebbles, and the sand bed was indeed exposed underneath.

Beckoned the two of them to come over, picked up the pebbles on the surface first, and then dug underneath.

The three of them started the horsepower, lacking a door and a hand, but they could use their strength against their knees, and they dug quickly.

But in this section, there are so many pebbles that at least half of every shovel goes down.

The three of them dug for half an hour before digging a pit about two meters deep and about one meter deep.

There are still plenty of pebbles underneath.

But the composition of the river sand, visible to the naked eye, has been slightly reddened.

Zhao Guangming shook his head: "It's a pity, there are too many pebbles in this section, the Gulf Stream is too small, and the water power is insufficient. ”

Fan Yang also found a clear difference.

They went up to a pit, that piece of beach, there were no pebbles at all, and from the excavation it was sand, until it was 3 meters away, there was a layer of soil, and the soil layer was less than a meter, and when they dug it down, it was sand again.

Even if there is gold here, the difficulty of mining it must be much higher.

"Forget it, let's try it out. ”

Zhao Guangming brought a small gold washing bucket, as big as a dustpan, which was specially used to test the washing, which could wash out the gold content of the sand.

After shoveling a shovel of sand, Zhao Guangming squatted on a stone and slowly scooped it in the river.

In more than 10 minutes, a handful of raw sand was scooped up.

I put it down softly and swung in the water for a while.

Bring it ashore.

The three of them leaned over to take a look, and the edge of the sieve had been swept out by Zhao Guangming for a small stretch of yellow and clear.

Barefoot golden sand.

Without the tools of refining such as crucibles and mercury, Zhao Guangming washed the original sand in the water, but the original sand was not wanted, and the bucket was put away.

said: "It's not bad, the product is higher than our old pit, but I don't have to do it, the sand layer is too thin, and I don't know if there is a board when I dig it, the key is too difficult to dig, if there is no board, the blood is lost." ”

Fan Yang nodded, the difficulty of construction is a bit high.

Looking at the riverbed, this section of the river is very wide, and the water surface is also four or five meters, which is considered a large section for a small river ditch.

Now is the season of high water, so I don't know if I can find a good beach to dig next year when the tide will fall.

"Write it down here, it's still good, you will get a harvest when you come in, but it's a pity, by the way, brother, do you say that under this riverbed, will there be more gold?" Fan Yang asked.

"Definitely, otherwise what are other sand mining boats used for? Gold mining is like this, you have to judge whether the sand has gold, in fact, it is very simple, but the risk is too great, you think for yourself, you have to contract the river section, you have to transport large equipment in, why don't you need money? You want to mine the riverbed, you can invest hundreds of thousands of dollars at every turn, before you dig it out, who knows how much gold there is below? If you are lucky, you can earn hundreds of thousands of dollars by mining once you mine it in a month, and we have a boss over there who dug a big hole and bought more than 10 million yuan in half a year. There are also some bosses who invest hundreds of thousands, and finally dig out tens of thousands of dollars, but they don't have to wear pants, they don't give up, and continue to dig. ”

Fan Yang sighed.

When Zhao Guangming said this, he really understood.

It turns out that industrial gold mining, that's what it's all about.

This is how the private boss operates.

It's no wonder that these rivers have so much gold, but few people mine them.

Unlike other places, transportation, transportation, and supplies are very convenient.

To mine gold in the rivers in Tibetan areas, all the manpower, material resources, and transportation costs, and more importantly, he does not have this tradition, Sichuan wants to find a good set of gold panning equipment, it is difficult, and if it is not good, it has to be transported from other provinces.

The cost is high.

It's like this ditch, even if Fan Yang and they know that there is gold buried in the riverbed, they can only look at the river and sigh.

There are no roads, why don't you drive in the excavator?

However, this is risky and difficult for industrial gold mining.

But for the folk gold miners, it is very beneficial.

Thinking of this, he laughed, but he didn't expect that he, a reborn person, would actually go to Tibet to pan for gold.

But what way is not to make money?

When you embark on this path, you must do your best to obtain the most wealth.

Who would be afraid that too much money is hot?

Several people clapped their hands and stood up.

"What's going on, brother, what do you think of it?" asked Fan Yang.

"How to deal with it, continue to walk, there is gold everywhere, this little bit, I'll look at it next year, dig it if it's suitable, even if it's not suitable." ”

"Can you eat a bite to eat before leaving?" exclaimed Missing a door, touching his belly.

I looked at my watch, and it was almost 12 o'clock.

A few people brought rocks, built a simple stove, lit a fire, boiled water, and ate some compressed biscuits and beef jerky.

And he continued his journey.

After walking for a whole afternoon, only two or three kilometers were advanced, and a few people held back their strength, hoping to find a big pit.

You can't go far, you have to go down to the river beach to see the rocks, sand.

Every now and then I have to dig two shovels, and the time is delayed.

The gold content of this river is not bad, and several Gulf Streams in the advancing section are more or less golden.

But as before, there is a big problem with mining.

Like the pit that Zhao Guangming found before, there was such a dense sediment of river sand, but he never found it.

"Forget it, let's stop here today, it will be dark if you go any further, and you have to make a fire to cook and prepare for tomorrow. ”

"That's right, where to set up a tent?" Hearing this, he unloaded his bags, pounded his shoulders, carried a weight of 20 kilograms, and walked a few hundred meters to stop and rest, he was also tired today.

"Ouch, it would be nice if I could walk the horse, but it seems that it won't work for a long time. "There is a lack of a way to complain.

"You're tired after only one day? Didn't you say that the Red Army soldiers took the Long March? Others have walked 25,000 miles, and if you walk a few miles, you will complain bitterly, and I am afraid that you will have already surrendered to the enemy. ”

"Where are you going to pitch a tent?"

"In the woods, don't get too close to the river, the sound of the water will interfere with our judgment, and if there are wild beasts or the like, it will not be fun if you are careless. Fan Yang said.

Although there is a Pitter vigil, the camping place should be far away from the riverbank, and it can be dangerous if it rains, rises in water, or mudslides.
