Found plentiful gold
After mining for weeks with little luck, I struck gold! I started mining it out and there was just more and more! I started to think it would never end. I had to take 5 trips to transfer all of the gold. I started to hire workers myself and built a great house. I had 5 horses, 15 cows and 12 chickens. And many workers that I housed and fed.
