The large-scale search work continued for over a week, and during this time, everyone took turns to try gold panning at the riverbank in addition to exploring the valley.
Apparently, this place had not been disturbed by humans before, so quite some gold had accumulated at the river bend. On average, each person could collect four to five grams of gold per day.
So, after a week, many people developed feelings towards this place. Although the value of the gold didn't matter much to them, the sense of accomplishment in extracting gold from the dirt and sand was irresistible.
However, unlike the joyous others, Leonard Ethan was a little nervous at the moment because on the last day, the geologist Mr. Joey revealed to him that although the survey was not completed, the estimated gold reserves of the surveyed part conservatively exceeded 80 tons.
