Description

Well Ascended, I take it you are here for the Scavenger Hunt. Tell you what, let's you and I do a task worthwhile. This place is a miner's paradise. There are tons of crews running rampant trying to extract ore. I say a smaller crew, say two...that'd be you and me, could do a better job. Smaller, more agile business, that's where the profit is at! You go and find us some lodes, and bring me back some ore samples. I'll do the leg work and see if any of the lodes are worth exploring further!

Upon completion

Congratulations, you have completed a part of the Scavenger Hunt! Here is your reward.

I hung out in the Riverfell cave, approx 3938,2740 and shard hopped until I had all 10. It will take a little bit, as the nodes are about a 30% drop rate for the quest item.

when you drill on a node don't loot the pyrite ore, close the loot window and drill again until you get gold - might take 2 or 3 attempts but makes each node 100% success

The best location is high above the Riverfell portal in the hills. Take the portal or head north from the crimson wash portal. Take the steep winding trail into the mountains way up north in the zone. Eventually you'll get to a set of tunnels that go into and back out of the mountains (not so much a cave). These have tons of nodes. The entrance to the first tunnel is 3884, 2708. (the paths leading up will take you straight to that location. This path is also the way you have to go to get to the challenge for part 2 of the world event. (jump through glowing yellow/orange circles from the top to the bottom of the cliffs/waterfalls - the circles used don't have to be new - you can jump through the same circle over and over to complete your 10 hoops-jumped-through).

I had good luck around 3800, 2683 up high, just walking a long hillsite back and forth.

The method by watchme where you don't loot unless you get the Gold Sample works great. I found all of mine in a cave located at 3930, 2730. You might have to check a few shards to get them all.
