Starting My Treasure Hunting In England

After taking a closer look at the piece of copper in his hand under the sunlight, Liang En discovered that it should be a decorative metal piece fixed somewhere.

Because this thing has been hammered with some kind of simple pattern, and there is also a small circular hole in the middle, which should be used to drive nails to fix the copper sheet somewhere.

"Can you tell me where the contents of this bottle were dug out from?" After briefly checking other bottles and making sure there was no more valuable harvest inside. Liang En walked into the tent holding the bottle and the copper piece.

"Oh my God, your sixth sense is so good." Looking at the sparkling gadget in Liang En's hand, Pierce, who was chatting with Fan Meng, widened his eyes. "This is the most valuable thing we've found in the past week."

"Then what were you doing before?" Liang En said this and thought about the section of trench that was cleared. "Don't tell me that you only dug that trench besides taking samples!"

"Although I don't want to admit it, it is indeed the case." Pierce sighed and looked at Liang En and said. "We thought it was an infantry trench from World War II, so we dug along the trench."

"It wasn't until we dug out the wood yesterday that we realized something was wrong. Then I called you for help, and then you flew over directly."

"Okay -" Liang En nodded. Obviously, Pierce, who was hosting a field excavation for the first time, still lacked a lot of experience, so he made such a very low-level mistake.

As for the reason why the other party called him over, it is easy to understand. After all, Liang En is now a shareholder of the Emerald Thrift Store, so this issue should also be regarded as Liang En's problem.

While several people were chatting, they crossed the trench along a piece of paving, and then came to an open space with shrubs and weeds.

"That thing just now was dug out from here." Pierce pointed to a small open space in front of him and said, "Look, the sampling pit is still there, and this bottle of soil was dug out from the pit."

After determining the approximate location, Liang En and the others took out the metal detector and started detecting it. It was found that the metal detector immediately made a beeping alarm sound after being turned on.

"It seems that there is indeed something in this place." After a brief exploration, they found that there was a large amount of metal reaction underground in an entire area with a radius of seven or eight meters.

However, after a detailed inspection, Liang En and the others realized that the bottom was not a large metal object, but an area with many metal fragments densely distributed.

"It's not like hiding a treasure." Fan Meng said softly. "If the treasure is hidden, the distribution area of ​​these metals will be much smaller than now, but the thickness will be thicker."

"You are right, there is a low chance that this is a treasure trove." Liang En nodded in agreement. For those who have received professional training, this is easy to judge.

And when they brought over another second-hand high-end metal detector that they bought at a high price, they were even more certain of this, because the detection results showed that the underground was full of ordinary metals such as copper and iron.

Although the fact that this is not a hidden treasure spot makes people feel a little depressing, compared to the previous trench, what the metal reaction represents is likely to be more important.

"If you can't dig up gold, silver and jewelry, it would be good to dig out a complete human remains." After roughly determining the types of things underground, Pierce showed a relieved smile.

Because if such underground ruins have certain historical value, the Poles are willing to pay everyone a sum of cash as a bonus, especially when Liang En is here. The other party should be more generous.

After using white lime to draw the excavation range on the ground, Liang En and several local workers began to dig. Because the ruins were buried shallowly, it took them half an hour to dig out a A huge pile of scrap metal.

"What are all these-" Fan Meng threw a piece of iron half the size of his hand to the edge of the pit, and then complained. "In total, we have dug out at least forty or fifty pieces of this stuff."

"This is a very valuable thing." Liang En picked up a piece of iron from the edge of the newly dug pit and wiped it. Sure enough, he found a few small holes on the edge of the triangular iron piece. "This thing should be the armor of scales."

Liang En held the rusty iron piece in his hand. "If you take into account the gold-plated copper plate used for decoration before, this should be a cavalry armor."

"Is this place a weapons warehouse?" After hearing what Liang En said, Fan Meng suddenly became excited, because there are often a lot of weapons in a warehouse, and he might be able to find some good ones that are not corroded.

"It's unlikely." Liang En shook his head and pointed to a section of the dug-out wall foundation not far away. "In ancient times, weapons arsenals were often the top priority for defense, and they were built like this with mud and stones. Weak walls are generally not used for weapons depots."

"There seems to be a big guy here, everyone, come and help!" Just after Liang En explained some knowledge about the ancient weapons arsenal to Fan Meng, Pierce, who was five or six steps away, suddenly exclaimed.

After hearing his call, everyone present quickly gathered around and saw a small pit more than thirty centimeters deep at Pierce's feet, and there seemed to be a large-looking stone component in the small pit.

Because there were more people and more strength, it only took them five or six minutes to dig out the thing. It turned out that what was dug out was a stone disc about 30cm in diameter and 5cm thick.

There is a hole in the middle of the stone disk, and inside there are traces of carbonization left by the decay of some organic matter. The first time they saw this thing, Liang En and the others recognized it as a granite grindstone.

Ancient people would install this stone on a foot-operated knife sharpener through the hole in the middle, and then sharpen the blades of various knives. Under normal circumstances, such large pieces would only appear in blacksmith shops. "

It seems that we have found a blacksmith shop belonging to the military. "Looking at the dug-out millstone, Liang En and the others determined what they dug out this time.

This discovery boosted everyone's morale, because compared to the symbolic bonus for discovering an ordinary village, the bonus for an ancient military camp was obviously much higher.

As everyone gradually expanded the search scope, more things that proved the value of this location were unearthed. In addition to the whetstone, there are also metal tools and manufactured products that add up to more than 30kg.

It's just that because they were buried in the soil for a long time, these things were completely rusted into a ball, and they had to be processed later to see what they were before.

But even so, everything discovered now can prove that this ruins is not an ordinary village. It is a Polish army barracks in the 16th and 17th centuries that has not been recorded in history.

This discovery was enough for them to confirm that the first excavation organized by the Emerald Grocery Store was successful. At least according to the information they had found before, the bonus that a military camp could obtain was enough to cover their costs this time.
