Manual Mining with @s3rg3. Digging for gold.

in life •  7 years ago 

In case cryptocurrencies fail all together you need a backup plan.

Digital mining will be a thing of the past and manual mining is were the real money will be!

The good old fashioned Proof of Digging.

To prepare for such a scenario blockbrother @s3rg3 bought a metal detector.

Today I went with him to see if we could find some gold!

After showing me the ropes he allowed me to walk with the device.

It wasn't long before the device started beeping!

It gets the heart racing I can tell you that!

I just couldn't believe it would be so easy to dig up some gold coins.

We started to dig....

5 minutes later we found this!

Well.....It's something!

We bagged it and were proud of doing something good for the environment.

A sort of penance for all the the cows that end up on our green eggs every year.

Other highlights of the day were this spring.

And this lighter that must have been in the ground for years.

Not bad for two hours of digging.....but maybe it would be best if cryptocurrencies do succeed.

Anyway...so we didn't find any gold...

But what we did have was a good time! And that counts for something too.

It's exiting hearing the device beep and not knowing what you will find.

I can see me going with him more often.

It's fun.

Wether we find gold or not :)

That’s the fun of it though . Little things like this are always fun and full of adventures and you never know what to expect

indeed they are

Good call!!
Seek you will find.
You never know what will come next time.
Keep on mining both ways.

Thanks :)

LOL another way of mining ..

@exyle,
Thanks god you didn't find a Landmine there lol :D

Cheers~

Man!

But did the lighter still work... proof of work!

LOL!!

Lmao... this is hilarious 😆. Yeah I’d love to see the proof of work...

Mine it @exyle! 😉👍
Looks like fun!

It was!

I love this!!! I like to go gold mining here in southern california. I have found about 1/2 oz over the last few years. It isn't easy by any stretch of the imagination but it is really fun. The best part is when you realize you are out in nature focusing on the task at hand. The distractions of life disappear.

I think the best reward you won today was to help the environment, it was a good day for you despite not having won anything but garbage but what counts is the intention ;)

Ow my goodness, I just rushed in immediately i saw your post and even the title Manual mining, digging for gold, I just keep smiling while reading the post. You have put a smile on my face tonight. Thanks for that sir, I wish you all the best, and much fun with my friend @s3rg3

Hahahah this is funny. How can you get a metal detector and expect it to search for only Gold. And besides, what's the dept range of the metal detector. Gold can't be found on shallow grounds you know. Lolzz

Anyways I am sure you guys just went out to have some good time and keep yourselves busy and you enjoyed it. Maybe next time you try going with bianca, she might just be your lucky charm to dig out Gold that day. Lolzz.

Haha, Gold coins could be anywhere :). Call us optimists :)

OMG! I finally need to do this. This has always been my dream. Especially my grandfather told that during German occupation in our house were station some soldiers and they had plates and other stuff branded with army symbols, but when Russians came into Latvia and German solders fled, someone dug a hole in the orchard and just dumped all the stuff they left behind into that. My grandfather doesn’t know where that hole is and no one who could is alive anymore, so I definitely should sweep my orchard with metal detector.

You should get one and try to find it!

My friend @exyle, that's true. If they ever fail, the manual miner will come back hahahaha.

Although they have not found any gold, at least they helped to protect the environment.... I say that's the real gold!

I'm glad you had a good time. I imagine it was a lot of fun :)

Greetings colleague!

Great adventure you guys had out there. Yeah the excitement builds up when the metal detector beeps hehe, is it gold? I really hope that cryptocurrencies are the game changers of our time.

I'm pretty sure they will change a lot of lives.

lol next time let me know where you start digging, I will send my friend to burry some nice coins for you to find.

That would help!

Man when I was a kid I wanted one of those like crazy, I was not too far off @exyle I thought the first thing you would find would be a beer can, haha well atleast I know that even as an adult this would be fun but shame you didn't find any gold lol just be positive.

Haha, this device wakes up the inner child for sure!

Great post exyle! I've always wanted to get a metal detector! Yeah, when that beep goes off, it has to be so exciting! It's like magic finding in real life. :D Really enjoying your content man. Thanks for sharing!

That is a great tool dear friend @exyle, I know some people who have found gold in this area of the world. My province of Corrientes has been a war zone for a long time, people hid their valuables underground, for this reason it is more likely the treasure meeting here.
Almenos was not a lost day has shown that the machine does its job very well
I wish you a beautiful night.

I already saw it on @s3rg3 's post he bought a metal detector. Great to see you two having a good time with it.... Although it isn't all gold that shines ;) ..

True! But we had fun :)

Mark @exyle Next time you go out "Urban Mining" I will get excited if you dig UP something like this........

This was the plan! But some Roman coins.

The GOLD is out there Mark, waiting for you and @s3rg3 to DIG it UP !

that would indeed be a great find!

I can see where this is heading...all four of you guys will need these to take out on Saturdays for business meetings...

That's a good idea! Beats sitting inside.

Treasure hunters 🕵🏻‍♂🕵‍♂

You've reminded me to get our metal detector out @exyle. Thanks for that. I keep forgetting to dig it out of the garage. I think our grandson will have a ball with it on the beach! 😁

We've found quite a few modern coins with it in the past.

He will love it!

You have gotta dig at the end off the Rainbow theres the gold😉

That looks really fun and interesting. For a moment just before I saw the photo of your 1st find,I too thought you had found real gold. I guess it's not that easy to find gold, better luck next time :)

You should try to search in river or some kind of water. You can find there most interesting things imo

Thanks for the advice!

It's a good job to spend time. If you really get gold! Or the old things that are more valuable than gold today. .Even if the old things you have collected are yours, then you will remember a lot of memories. It's really fun indeed. Thank you sir.

hey @exyle! can you imagine that in a thousand years humans will have a cryptodetector? Will they look for cryptocurrence in the ledger?
May b with a diagnostic tool in quantum mechanics? LOL

Find that moneyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!

Hahahaa.. its funny

I did that on the beach, never really found anything great.
I did help a couple find a lost wedding ring once, they dropped it while tanning, I didn't get to keep it for obvious reasons.

hahahahahahahaha what a good experience my friend, I laughed a lot with your introduction, surely the crypt coins will be in the past if we start using this method to make hahahahahaha money.

It's too bad that you and your friend didn't have the success you were hoping for, but at least they had fun and a good time, they also made me laugh a lot, I hope you continue sharing these adventures with us friend.

Greetings from venezuela my friend @exyle!!

Wow, both of you are looking awesome.Great post man...thanks for sharing your collection sir @exyle
