Treasure Hunt all over the World

Jason also found gold, but it was less than 1/10 of an ounce, far from Ye Tian!

Even so, the kid was ecstatic, and cheered loudly by the stream, which made Ye Tian and the others burst into laughter, and also scared away a group of small animals who were watching curiously!

After the celebration, Jason also poured the gold back into the stream, although he was very reluctant!

Then, the three returned to the all-terrain vehicle, put away the gold panning tools, got into the vehicle and were ready to go.

Ye Tian drove a black Lone Ranger x3 alone, Jason chose a camouflage painted one, and Mark and Hayward shared one.

Put on your hard hat, fasten your seat belt, and double check your gear.

Everyone quickly got ready, and the three all-terrain vehicles were ready to go, and they were about to break the silence of the forest.

"Gentlemen, let's conquer the mountains and discover gold! GO!"

Ye Tian stretched out his hand from the car, pointed at the forest on the east bank of Smith Creek and shouted passionately.

"Let's go!" Jason and Mark responded enthusiastically.

"boom--!"

The roar of the engine sounded, and the three all-terrain vehicles immediately began to roar, completely tearing up the silence around them, and the air became hot in an instant.

"Guys, how about a competition? See who is the first to rush into the forest, and finally give the first place $50, a little excitement!"

Ye Tian said excitedly through the intercom, intending to add some fun.

"Great! Let's get started!"

Jason and Mark responded loudly that they were already eager to try, how could they refuse such a small bet.

"OK! I count one, two, three, everyone starts at the same time, one, two, three, GO!"

As soon as the words fell, the three all-terrain vehicles immediately let out a deafening roar, and rushed straight to the mountain forest in the east like arrows from the string.

On the grass behind them, six green ruts appeared in an instant, leading directly to the forest.

After rushing only ten meters, Mark had already taken the lead and rushed to the forest at the head of the horse.

He is an outdoor veteran, he is very slick in all-terrain vehicles, and his driving skills are extremely proficient, so he naturally has a great advantage.

Ye Tian followed closely behind, stepped on the gas pedal to the bottom, and roared angrily, struggling to chase forward.

He is not familiar with all-terrain vehicles. At first, he could only drive a pickup truck, but when the speed of the vehicle accelerated, he immediately felt the difference between the two.

The all-terrain vehicle is wilder, more powerful, and the handling is very flexible. The completely open driving experience can instantly ignite hormones and make people adrenaline rush!

Soon he found the feeling and pleasure of driving, his movements became more and more proficient, the speed of the car continued to increase, and he quickly caught up with Mark in front,

Jason was at the end. Like Ye Tian, ​​he was not familiar with all-terrain vehicles. He couldn't get up to speed at first, but he quickly found the feeling, and his speed became faster and faster, so he caught up closely.

"Hahaha! Steven, Jason, I'm the winner of this competition! I just don't know which of you will pay for it?"

Mark's excited laughter and ostentatious words came from the intercom.

"Win or lose is not sure! Don't be too happy!"

"That's right, the game isn't over yet!"

Ye Tian and Jason responded loudly, and in a blink of an eye they had already pushed the accelerator to the maximum.

The forest is close at hand, and the order has not changed. Mark is still ahead, and it seems that he is destined to win.

When it was about to rush into the forest, six or seven vehicles suddenly drove out, and they were also all-terrain vehicles.

"Guys, slow down, go over and see who it is"

Ye Tian said loudly through the walkie-talkie that he slowed down and drove past. Jason and Mark also followed.

The distance between the two parties quickly narrowed, and they saw each other's situation clearly.

A total of seven cars came out of the mountain forest. There were two people in each car, ranging in age from their twenties to their fifties, both men and women. This should be a team.

After a quick glance, Ye Tian quickly found the prospecting equipment in their car.

Obviously, these people are also here to inspect the mining rights, they are their own competitors, and the two commercial helicopters on the grass should belong to them.

And judging from the composition of the team, several of them obviously worked in the field all the year round, looking vicissitudes, but very capable.

This should be a professional gold prospecting team, Ye Tian made a judgment in an instant.

When he observed the other party, the other party was also observing him, and he also saw a lot of content.

When the vehicles on both sides crossed each other, everyone stopped at the same time.

On the opposite side, a white man in his fifties looked at Ye Tianche's equipment and asked with a smile:

"Young man, are you here to investigate the gold mining rights? Where are you from?"

There is nothing to hide, Ye Tian nodded and replied:

"We are from New York, and we are indeed here to inspect the mining rights. Where are you from? Is the inspection over?"

"New Yorker! Hello, we are also from the United States. The Nevada Barrick Gold Company is also here to inspect the mining rights. The inspection of Smith Creek has ended and we are leaving soon."

Hearing the other party's introduction, Ye Tian's heart immediately trembled.

It turned out to be Barrick Gold Corporation! It was the world's largest gold company, a behemoth with an annual output of millions of ounces of gold. I didn't expect to meet their people here.

The situation is a bit grim! I don't know which mining rights this super predator has taken a fancy to? Or want to eat all of them, which is absolutely easy for them, without blinking an eye, and can do it with a raised hand.

It's better not to be in this situation, then maybe I will return empty-handed, and I can only make money by selling Gonzalez's survey report!

Although his heart was a little heavy, Ye Tian's expression was very calm, without any abnormal reaction.

"Didn't Barrick specialize in mining high-grade gold mines? How could you be interested in lower-grade placer gold mines? Or did you make a major discovery here?"

"Where there is gold, there is Barrick. No matter whether it is vein gold or placer gold, we will not let it go! As for major discoveries, maybe!"

This is obviously an old fox, while showing pride, and revealing any useful information.

"Okay! Let's talk about this first, we are going to inspect the forest, see you later!"

"See you later, young man, just to remind you, there are grizzly bears in the forest, so be careful!"

"Thanks, bye!"

Ye Tian smiled and thanked him, then drove away and entered the forest.

"A young man with drive and good manners, I like it! But unfortunately, this time you are doomed to return empty-handed!"

The white man in his fifties sighed.

"This kid is really aggressive and courageous. It takes a bit of courage for a Chinese to get mining rights here and mine gold mines!"

On the all-terrain vehicle next to it, some people were also full of emotion.

"Don't forget, he's from New York, where people are so obsessed with money! It's no surprise to take a chance on it, leave him alone, let's go, to Elk Creek, Yukon River!"

The white man in his fifties laughed and led the crowd away from Smith Creek.

Ye Tian was already in the quiet and deep frigid forest when everyone from Barrick Company was driving towards the plane.

Here are tall and tall Alaskan red pine, cedar, spruce and other trees. The bottom space is wide, the ground is fairly solid, and there are not many shrubs and swamps, which will not affect the passage of all-terrain vehicles.

Even so, as soon as they entered the forest, the three all-terrain vehicles immediately slowed down and headed deep into the forest at a speed of about 20 kilometers per hour.

As everyone went deeper, the light gradually began to dim, and the sunlight could only shine into the forest through the gaps between the trees.

Compared with the grass outside, the temperature here is much lower, very cool, just like walking from summer to autumn!

The further you go, the more wild animals you see.

The squirrel jumping nimbly on the pine tree; the colorful golden pheasant flying past the car from time to time; the fiery red fox standing far away and staring at this side;

All of this is dizzying and exciting, but now is not the time to appreciate it, there are more important things to do.

The three vehicles did not stop for a moment, maintained a speed of 20 kilometers per hour, and quickly drove to the second survey site according to the GPS guidance.

In about two minutes, everyone arrived at the second survey point, a small open space 450 meters deep in the forest.

“Here it is! Hope to find gold again”

After the car stopped, Ye Tian immediately jumped out of the car with the GPS and confirmed the coordinates of the survey point.

"This forest is a gold mine, sure to bring us gold"

Jason answered excitedly, then took out the metal detector and started to detect, impatiently.

Then, Ye Tian walked towards Mark's all-terrain vehicle, took out 50 dollars from his wallet, and patted it in Mark's hand.

When he first met Barrick and the others, he was already at the end and was the last to enter the forest, so naturally he was willing to admit defeat.

Mark was also polite, and directly put 50 dollars into his pocket.

After finishing this small matter, Ye Tian immediately started to arrange the survey work.

"Start the survey. I'm in charge of sampling. Mark and Jason use metal detectors to survey the surroundings. Tell me immediately if you find anything. Hayward is on alert to ensure everyone's safety. Okay, let's move!"

“Okay! Let’s find the gold!”

Everyone responded in unison, and then took out the survey equipment, ready to conduct surveys.

Ye Tian took out the engineering shovel and a bag with the serial number from the car, and walked to the GPS point, ready to dig the soil and take samples to see if there is gold in the deeper layers.

Jason and Mark each took an underground metal detector and started to detect. Both detectors are small plates and can penetrate up to 2.5 meters deep.

Moreover, they can only be used to find slightly larger gold nuggets, and they cannot do anything for placer gold with extremely small particles, except for the case of a large amount of enrichment.

Ye Tian quickly walked to the survey point. Before the official excavation, he quickly looked through the underground situation of the survey point.

There is also gold here, and the gold-bearing layer is at a depth of 1.2 meters, but the grade is slightly lower, about 0.8 g/t, which is much lower than that on both sides of the river.

After retracting the perspective, he immediately bent down, waved the engineering shovel, and started the soil work.

The ground here is not hard. After a summer, the permafrost on the surface has melted, so there is no difficulty in digging.

In three or four minutes, he dug to a gold-bearing layer 1.2 meters deep, filled about 1 kilogram of ore, and completed the sampling work.

Before backfilling the pit, he turned on perspective again, looking deeper underground from the bottom of the pit.

As soon as the line of sight arrived, the surprise appeared again.

After crossing a gap between 1.8m and 2.3m, gold reappeared and performed better than the gold-bearing layer above, reaching 1.0 g/t, which is considered a bonanza!

It seems that the No. 1 mining right is generally very good and worth selling.

Immediately, he retracted the perspective and began to quickly backfill the pit, which was completely done in a minute.

Jason and Mark also ended their detection at this time and returned to the sampling point.

Neither of them found any surprises. The gold sand is too fine to be found by the detectors, unless they encounter a slightly larger gold nugget. Obviously, there is no gold nugget here.

"OK! The work at this point is completed, continue to go deep into the mountains and forests, and go to the next sampling point"

After filling the last piece of soil, Ye Tian picked up the sampling bag on the ground and said, then walked towards the all-terrain vehicle.

The three all-terrain vehicles quickly started up again, roaring and rushing into the deeper part of the forest, continuing to search for the fascinating gold.
