Gold taking in south Aceh

hallo stemians this time I will discuss the process of taking gold in my place of residence that is right in his village of Menggamat, Kluet central district, Aceh Selatan, Aceh, Indonesia.

The picture above is one type of stone containing gold, which is taken manually by local residents in the mountain by making a hole with a depth of approximately 300m.

holes are made by using a soil / rock drill. to breathe in their holes using a large wind pump machine, which is channeled through a plastic pipe.

In there they work day alone, because the long distances allow to use lights require a lot of gasoline to start the engine, in order to save them not working at night. if the gold veins (golden line of stone) have been found new they are satisfied, otherwise they will dig the oldest.

they sculpt the mountain rocks little by little to get the gold they are looking for, the levels are high enough to make people in droves to make a hole there.

the above picture is one of the most stones in the hunt there, because it contains a lot of gold in it.

hard work and patience is in need there, because it takes several months to make a hole and find a golden stone there. in addition to many of his holes that make them have to be alert to landslides.
really a dangerous job, they work without any security at all. but hard work at paying a great price if you can be lucky to get the gold they are looking for.

so a little story I know about taking gold in south Aceh. hopefully add to your insight all.
