how were the settlers unprepared for what they found in Jamestown
The shipwreck survivors found the colonists of Jamestown in desperate condition. Most of the settlers had died from sickness or starvation, or had been killed by Indians. Sir Thomas Gates agreed with the Jamestown settlers to abandon the colony and return to England. He ordered Captain Yeardley to command his soldiers to guard the town preventing settlers from setting fire to the structures that were evacuated. Lord de la Warr soon arrived bringing supplies to save the struggling colony. Captain Yeardley was co-commander of the early Forts Henry and Charles at Kecoughtan. In October 1610, Lord De La Warr ordered Captain Yeardley and Captain Edward Brewster to lead 150 men into the mountains in search of silver and gold mines.
In 1607, some 100 men and boys sailing from England landed in present-day Virginia and founded Jamestown. Inspired by the success of Spanish explorers who had found gold in South America, these adventurers hoped to get rich.

No, Jamestown was founded by the Virginia Company in 1607, while the Puritans arrived in North America later, settling primarily in Massachusetts starting in 1620. The Puritans sought religious freedom and a new life away from the Church of England, while the settlers in Jamestown were primarily motivated by economic interests.
Jamestown's main natural resorce and cash crop is tobacco which was found in Jamestown when they arrived and was not used by the farmers or whomever sold/raised it. Also corn, turkey and bread.
