Guyver – Second Chance – Part 2

... there was a trickle coming out of the flume, and running onto the wheel. Joyce wasn’t ready to try running any machinery yet, so she closed the valve back down to where it had originally been. Returning to the outbuilding, she found a couple of 18 mesh screens, noted by a label on the side, and also a small shaking table to separate the fine grit at the end of the process. Joyce asked Div to run a gold scan of the building, and after a few minutes, the visor came on, highlighting small traces on most of the machinery, and one slightly larger one near the large jaw crusher. Joyce followed the image to half a dozen pieces of ore that hadn’t been under the crusher yet, sorting through the ones with faint streaks through them, till she came to the one with the more intense image. Placing it on an anvil, she picked up a hammer, and slowly chipped away the quartz to reveal a half inch square piece of gold, with only a tiny piece of quartz inside one end. Joyce stared at the gold in her hand, heart racing as her long held dream was finally realised, and she was able to detect gold with pinpoint accuracy, and also have it valued. Through the earpiece, Div estimated the weight of the gold piece as 4.375 grams, with a purity of 18 carat, which at today’s price of $32 per gram would be worth $140. He added that the other pieces of ore had a total gold content after processing of at least $100. Going over to the far end of the building, Joyce looked over a set of about a dozen ...

... crucibles, made of Graphite carbon according to Div, set out on a wide wooden bench next to a brick furnace that had a tall stone chimney. She now watched as the visor scanned the furnace, displaying a double brick skin, with an insulating air break, and a rotary fan driven from the waterwheel. Div said it would easily be capable of achieving temperatures around 2000 degrees with the hardwood he’d scanned in the fuel bin beside it, which was adequate for melting gold at 1650F. There were also several tubs of cleaning flux, made from borax and sodium carbonate, and much larger containers of each over by the other wall. There was another bench further along, with several sand boxes, and the equipment for making small melds to cast the molten gold into bars. Two varnished wooden patterns sat on a shelf, embossed on the top surface as 10oz and 5oz, and the words “Still Valley”, which Joyce knew was the name of the mine. Div pointed out that 5 ounce melds make an ingot worth $5,600, and if they were produced fairly often, this could be a profitable venture for someone who liked hard work and solitude. The whole setup was completely self-contained for mining, and the only thing lacking was any sort of nearby store. Joyce wanted to see where the water for the wheel came from, so she set off to walk further up the valley, heading towards a stand of trees that blocked her view from this position. The afternoon sun was hot on her back, so she took her shirt off, feeling the tingle of UV rays ...
