The Adventures of Home-built Dredging: Two Guys Striking Gold on a River Next to a Sand Mine"
The two friends, Rene and Jose, lived in a small village nestled deep in the jungles of Mindanao. They had both grown up in the area and had known each other since they were children. They had always dreamed of striking it rich by finding gold, and they had heard stories of the rich deposits that could be found in the nearby rivers.
One day, they decided to take action and build a dredge to mine for gold in the river that flowed through their village. They spent weeks gathering materials and building the dredge, and when it was finally ready, they set out on their first mining expedition.
The river was fast-moving, and the water was clear and cold. They quickly realized that the wet season floods would be a problem, so they decided to work during the dry season and take a break during the wet season. They worked hard and were rewarded with good color in the first panning, which encouraged them to keep mining.
Their mining efforts were successful, and they were able to earn about $400 US dollars a week, a significant amount of money for the area. They used the money to support their families and the extended village, and they were able to improve the living conditions of the people in the village. Rene and Jose were happy that they could help the people they care about and they are now respected members of the community. They continue to mine for gold, always looking for that big nugget, and they are proud of the fact that they have built a sustainable business that not only benefits them but also their community.
