You are not permitted to benefit from these young men except for the purpose for which they were sent: to assist in public interest works. Authorizing them to search for gold in exchange for money is not part of that, as it contravenes their mission. The money they pay you is a forbidden bribe, and the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, cursed the briber and the bribed.
