Alaska Gold Rush Diary

After some effort, the two finally achieved their first success.

"Found it! It's gold! I've found gold!"

Edward held the gold nugget, about the size of a broad bean, in his hand and shouted excitedly.

He poured some water from the kettle to wash away the dirt from the surface of the gold, and its golden appearance was finally fully revealed to the two of them.

This gold coin is estimated to weigh around 20 grams, which is definitely a large quantity.

It's important to know that the probability of finding a large gold nugget in Australia is extremely low, and the probability of finding a nugget is even lower.

Most of the time, gold hunters can only find gold nuggets the size of soybeans or mung beans.

Even for seasoned gold hunters, this 20-gram gold nugget is considered a fantastic find.

Zhou Xin was also very excited because he had just found traces of gold and then such a big shipment arrived.

What a great start! This is an excellent beginning.

"Xin, how did you do that? You didn't use any detectors, how did you know there was gold here?"

Sure enough, they asked, but that's to be expected.

Zhou Xin chuckled and delivered the speech he had prepared long ago.

"There's nothing strange about it. We Chinese have an ancient and magical qigong called the art of qi observation."

"The term 'observing qi' is a general term and does not only refer to gases."

"Through the practice of observing qi, one can see things that are difficult for ordinary people to see, such as animals hiding in the forest, medicinal herbs buried in the ground, and buried gold."

"I happened to learn the art of divination from my grandfather when I was young, which allows me to see gold buried in the ground or even locked in a safe."

Edward listened to Zhou Xin's story with disbelief on his face.

"My goodness, there are such amazing kung fu skills in the world. No wonder it is a mysterious and ancient Eastern civilization."

Zhou Xin was secretly delighted to see that he was intimidated.

"Our China does indeed have many amazing things."

"So, the reason you were able to find so much gold in Alaska all by yourself last time was because you knew the Gold Observation Technique?"

Golden Aura Observation Technique, that's a good name.

"That's right." Zhou Xin nodded.

Edward looked puzzled.

"Then I don't understand. Since you have such powerful qigong, why didn't you start panning for gold as soon as you arrived in America, but waited until this year?"

"I heard from Bemon that you've been in America for ten years."

Zhou Xin looked helpless: "Because it wasn't until this year that I completely mastered this skill."

Edward nodded, then became incredibly excited.

The mysterious power of the East holds a natural and immense attraction for them.

"Xin, please teach me, I beg you, I want to learn this skill too."

Zhou Xin continued to deceive, saying, "It takes at least twenty years to master this skill. You know, I started practicing when I was seven years old."

"Moreover, if you want to learn this skill, you need to first systematically learn Chinese numerology, the Five Elements, and other related knowledge."

Upon hearing this, Edward said dejectedly, "That's too difficult. Forget it, I might never learn it before I die."

He then quickly regained his excitement: "Anyway, with you here, it won't affect me at all."

Just like Zhou Xin back then, he now feels that the future is bright.

If I just follow this handsome Chinese man in front of me who knows the art of observing qi, wouldn't I be able to make a fortune every day?

That's right, when he looked at Zhou Xin now, he only thought he was extremely handsome, and he just wanted to hug him, kiss him, and shout: I love you, Xin!

Of course, he knew that if he did that, he would definitely get hit with a pickaxe.

Zhou Xin felt a chill run down his spine as he looked at Edward's fiery enthusiasm.

"Then let's get to work. I'm going to find gold. I'll mark the places where there is gold with a little flag."

Edward nodded: "No problem, I'll dig up every spot of gold you've marked!"

As Zhou Xin continued his careful search in the wilderness, Edward followed behind him with anticipation.

Zhou Xin roughly divided the surrounding wilderness into many small sections in his mind, and searched each section in a zigzag pattern, making sure not to miss any corner.

A dozen minutes later, he discovered the second gold spot.

"here."

Edward moved the detector closer, and sure enough, the instrument emitted a whirring beeping sound.

Now, he finally believed without a doubt that Zhou Xin knew the Golden Qi Observation Technique.

"This is simply a miracle!" Even though he had witnessed it once before, he still couldn't help but marvel.

After saying that, he started digging with his pickaxe, seemingly possessing inexhaustible energy.

Zhou Xin didn't delay any longer and continued searching in the wilderness.

Logan ran around on the ground, but always kept a close distance from Zhou Xin.

Zhou Xin searched carefully, constantly watching his step.

Deadly venomous snakes may lurk in every bush or under every rock.

Although he wore snake-proof boots and had antivenom, he remained highly vigilant.

Soon he discovered four or five more gold spots and marked them with flags.

Judging from the intensity of the smell, the gold in these locations should be very small, and the smell is barely perceptible.

If he hadn't mastered the "Smell of Gold" ability even more skillfully, he probably wouldn't have been able to smell it at all.

Through his experience over this period, he learned that the "Smell of Gold" ability can be gradually improved with use.

At first, he could only smell the exposed gold.

However, his months of gold panning in Alaska, where he had to constantly use his nose to determine the distribution of gold at gold deposits, made his sense of smell for gold even more acute.

Every gold rush trip was a training exercise for him to develop his "smell for gold".

To use a metaphor, his golden sense of smell has now reached the level of a hunting dog.

Of course, this only applies to gold.

He believes that his skills will be greatly enhanced after this gold mining experience in Australia.

Perhaps one day, his sense of smell for gold will reach the level of an elephant, allowing him to smell gold from tens of kilometers away and accurately determine its location.

He searched intently. The wilderness was quiet in the early morning, save for the sounds of Logan frolicking and the distant buzzing of Edward operating the probe.

More than an hour later, the sun came out.

The morning sun shone on this vast and desolate land, casting a golden glow.

However, the rising sun did not bring Zhou Xin any good luck; for the next hour, he gained nothing.

The gold here is distributed almost without any pattern, with no clear target.

Even with the "smell of gold," finding it doesn't seem to be that easy.

It's easy to imagine how difficult it would be for gold hunters who rely entirely on detectors to find gold here.

Those gold-hunting reality shows, where the gold hunters find a piece of gold in just a few minutes, are purely for entertainment purposes; it's impossible for that to happen in real life.
