LeCountryBrony Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 "We can now" GoldDigger replied as he trotted over to a desk and grabbed a gold pan in his mouth as the group followed him out. He walked over to a place next to a bend in the river "before we actually get to work im just gona show ya'll what were dealing with here" he said scooping a pile of dirt into the pan and then picking the pan up and walking to the rivers banks. GoldDigger held the pan at an angle in his mouth and dipped it in and out of the river the water pulling the dirt out, soon only a black soot was left. He then gave the pan a little shake and the black soot spread out on the bottom of the pan and little yellow specks glistened all about. "All we got to do is dig where i got the dirt for this and run it through our machines!" GoldDigger said sitting the pan down in front of the group Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojo Posted October 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 The six followed Gold Digger and witnessed him extracting gold."That's truly amazin'!" Larry the Cable Pony shouted, "That's the same way I fix up mah Can't Miss Fried Grits! GIT'R DONE!""When will you stop thinkin' about food?" Texas Tilly asked."I never quits thinkin' of food!""It shows!""Huh?""FASCINATING PROCESS TO EXTRACT THE MINERAL!" Silver spoke out."Do you know how much gold you have in this mine?" Sye Klops asked."This gold has amazing quality to it, may I examine a nugget?" Con Mane asked as he proved a jeweler's eyepiece and placed it on his left eye."What machines are you talking about, young fellow?" the Olden Pony asked.

LeCountryBrony Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 "i dont really have a clue how much gold we have here" GoldDigger replied "the way I've always done it is dig unto theres no more gold to be had in the area than i pack my bags pick everything up and move else where" he added. "Sure!" GoldDigger replied to con mane handing him a nugget. "Those machines over there" Gold pointed out a long channel which resembled a washboard sitting on a angle on stilts. "It uses the same processes as i just showed but in a different way" GoldDigger said. "it uses water to extract the gold... to make it work all we got to do is get the steam engine working and it will start pumping water through those channels... once that's going all we got do is shovel the dirt into the screen above it... and the water will carry the gold and dirt down the channels until it reaches the washboard like part which will create standing water in the indents and the gold being heavier than dirt will drop out of the current and into the indents in the washboard part and the dirt will continue with the water. Then at the end of the day we just got to shut the water off and clean it all out" GoldDigger explained Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"It may seem simple enough... but like they say there's no such thing as easy bits..... Machine breakdowns and other complications, The machine packing full of dirt, Accidents...i have only had one.... and the lack of gold itself... i mean not to talk you out of it but just saying" he said in reply to con manes statement and to the group. "Also since this involves a lot of water i was just wondering.... Can Silver get wet? he is made of metal right ?

"Gold diggin's man's work.""I can pull my weight, fatso!" the Olden Pony muttered."So kin I, ya durn galoot!" added Tilly."Query, Gold Digger," Silver spoke, "when would you like the work to commence?"

LeCountryBrony Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 "Alrighty then... lets get to it !" GoldDigger said as he walked over grabbing a large hose and drug the end of it into the river. He walked over to a wood pile picking up pieces of wood with his mouth and chucking them into the steam engine and placing some paper inside as well. "Alright here we go!" GoldDigger said as he pitched a match in and closed the door, Gold walked over to the home and pulled out a large cart with shovels in it "We just got to fill this cart full of dirt and ill take it over and dump it into the machine come back and repeat the process" just as water started to rush down the channels. "Just on time!" He said putting the first shovel full into the cart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojo Posted November 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 The group of six ponies started to get to work. Texas Tilly, Sye Klops, Larry the Cable Pony and even the Olden Pony grabbed shovels and started digging. Con Mare and Silver with their magical horns, levitated their shovels to dig."Hay ol' lady, ya think ya kin keep up with us?" Larry asked with a laugh."Just stay outta my way, butterball!" the Olden Pony answered back as she continued digging surprisingly well for someone her age."Go one wagon loaded, saddlepal, take it over to that thar machine!" Texas Tilly called out as Silver pulled the cart over to the machine and then used magical levitation to 'feed' the shoveled dirt into the machine carefully."TASK COMPLETION IN PROGRESS!" the cybernetic alicorn spoke out, quickly emptying the cart and then returning for more dirt."With Silver pulling the cart and putting away the dirt, this job's going to go a lot faster," Sye Klops said, shoveling more dirt into the cart."Amazing efficiency I must say," added Con Mane as he continued to work."We're really GIT'N ER DONE!" Larry shouted."Stop your bragging and keep shoveling!" the Olden Pony neighed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeCountryBrony Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 GoldDigger kept shoveling dirt into the cart "you know i wish i could invent a machine to do the diggin for me.... Where i could just climb onto the machine and plop down in a seat and put my hooves on some levers and pedals and have the power of 800 ponies at the tip of my hooves.... Doing a half a days worth of digging now in one single scoop of dirt!" Gold said as he continued digging. GoldDigger went to throw a shovel full into the cart and stopped suddenly setting down the shovel "Well wouda' look at what we got here!"
