The following quote is an example of what figurative language he now dug into the poor clergyman`s heart, like a miner searching of gold ?

The correct answer is Simile.

It is a figure of speech involving the comparison of one thing with another thing of a different kind, used to make a description more emphatic or vivid, for example, as brave as a lion, crazy like a fox. Similes explicitly use connecting words (such as like, as, so, than, or various verbs such as resemble), though these specific words are not always necessary.
