Lasers At At It Again! Scientists Find The "Lost City Of Gold" in Ecuador

We can speculate that 50 excavators might be yielding hundreds of thousands of dollars in gold each day of operation. Our own sampling upstream shows very abundant fine gold in the pan in every sample taken. Presuming that today's miners are extracting only the dregs of the resource, perhaps 450 years ago the Rio Santiago was as rich as Bonanza Creek in the Klondike when first discovered. The richness of the area conforms with Governor Juan de Alderete's account that in the first year of mining almost 30,000 pesos of gold were produced at Logroño

It is official. I am in the wrong line of work. I love my job, but I can not even imagine what it must feel like to be scouring parts of the Earth that have gone untouched by man for hundreds of years searching for ancient ruins and buried treasure and...ACTUALLY FUCKING FIND IT! Hundreds of thousands of dollars in gold every single day of the operation. Just absolutely astounding. What a rush. You're rich AND you're a modern day bad ass version of Indiana Jones.
