In a hurry to get setup your main mining equipment? Then you need nuggets and lots of them. When testing the mini ex and mini wash plant I found the hog pan pit at old Arnold had about 32 oz of nuggets in it. So I did another test to see if I could get a good set up just by using nuggets after the hog pan pit. I started the usual way, when I had 17 oz of gold I headed to the smith. I returned with a mini ex and mini wash plant, after the pit was empty. I had 38 oz of nuggets and 30 oz of mined gold. Now I rented the big Drill ( I do not get nuggets with the mini ) and started drilling. I drilled each grid space 9 times even the ones on the edge at least twice. Now Its day 2 and I have 2950 oz of gold nuggets after processing fees $2,900,000. That's enough to get you going with out paying rent. If you buy your land, then move the drill you can have your new parcel marked before the second days rent is over. Plus you will have whatever nuggets you find on your new land. Once you have land it only makes sense to upgrade the Blacksmith as soon as possible, to save on processing fees.
