Starting My Treasure Hunting In England
Chapter 322 Strange Lid
After a busy morning, Liang En fished out two silver coins, one gold coin and seven or eight various rusty metal pieces from the shallows.
Although these metal pieces were covered with yellow and green rust, Liang En could still tell that most of them were iron parts from the ship.
As for those gold and silver coins, they all came from the Arab Empire. As a middleman on the Silk Road, and a wealthy area of the Old World second only to the Far East, the Arab Empire monopolized international trade. Naturally, those gold and silver coins were common on the entire trade route. .
Although theoretically speaking, China in the Far East was the truly prosperous place at that time, but at that time China used copper coins, which were inconvenient to transport. At the same time, as a hard currency, it was far inferior to gold and silver.
Therefore, all international trade merchants often exchange all their money for various commodities when they leave China, and basically do not leave with copper coins.
Therefore, various gold or silver coins are often dug up on the Silk Road, but after leaving the radiation range of Chinese civilization, it is difficult to find many copper coins from China.
However, the discovery of these gold and silver coins does not have much additional value to this excavation work. After all, a large number of porcelain and other products have been unearthed before, so a few gold and silver coins can at best be regarded as the icing on the cake.
But obviously these things are not all the cultural relics scattered on this shoal, because there are a lot of aquatic life growing on the reef, and the ship sank seven or eight hundred years ago, so there are a lot of things that should be buried in those sediments. underneath the object.
"Try using a few cards." After seeing that the entire reef beach was not that big, Liang En started thinking about using his own cards, "Maybe I can find something interesting."
If this was just an ordinary ruins, Liang En would definitely not be willing to consume his cards. After all, it is not easy to accumulate cards one by one.
But the things he had discovered before could already illustrate the importance of this ruins, so he hoped to find more valuable things and see if he could get some new cards.
Although it is impossible for him to keep these things for himself, as long as he finds them with his own hands, he can always produce a few valuable cards.
But then again, the reason why Liang En is willing to invest precious cards in such a risky project this time is still related to the fact that he has saved a lot of cards before and has a lot of money.
Of course, no matter how generous you are, diligence and thrift are a must, so Liang En decided on three excavation sites after repeated searches and judgments.
These excavation points are mainly concentrated on the side of the reef that was hit by the ship, and they are located relatively inside the reef, which can avoid the erosion of the tide.
[Detection (N)] Each card can mark the most historically valuable thing in the space of a giant sphere with itself as the center and a radius of 5m, but what you find depends on luck.
So after finishing a feast of fresh seafood, he energetically asked for a straw hat to put on his head, and then returned to the excavation site alone.
The reason why he returned alone was because the other two people in the morning could no longer withstand the scorching sun and sea water and slipped back to the ship. Only Liang En, relying on his repeatedly strengthened body and the special enhancement provided by the Viking card, could keep on.
However, what Liang En did not expect was that his behavior was unanimously praised by the scholars on the ship, because for these pure scholars, being able to search in the sea under the sun for academic purposes is indeed something worthy of admiration. things.
Of course, the scholars on the ship didn't know what Liang En was thinking. He was now using all his strength to pry the rock with the metal stick in his hand, because the place where the third card was displayed was right under the rock.
"I'm stupid!" Just as he was sweating profusely and enduring the irritation of sea salt on his skin as he kept digging, he suddenly had an idea and stopped what he was doing, and then activated [Rock Control (SR)] .
For a moment, the stones in front of Liang En were as soft as rubber, and then they gradually separated as if being kneaded by a big hand, revealing the thing hidden underneath.
Obviously, this place should have been a crevice on the reef before, but later due to some geological changes, rocks from other areas fell down and blocked the crevice.
As time goes by, the molluscs and coral polyps that make their home on this reef stick to the sand and gravel and merge into one, like a rock.
To be honest, if the card hadn't shown that the thing XZ was thirty or forty centimeters below the reef, normal people might never have found it.
Because for normal people, these reefs mixed with some metal fragments belonging to shipwrecks will obviously trigger the reaction of metal detectors, and they will never think about what is inside.
After reaching into the crack of the stone to take out the object, Liang En discovered that it was a silver object that had turned black due to soaking in sea water. At first glance, it looked like a small plate.
However, after a brief inspection, he discovered that this palm-sized silver handicraft was not a plate, but the lid of a teacup, wine glass or bowl.
The reason why it can be judged that this is a cover is also very simple, because there is a ring-shaped handle just below this thing, which obviously cannot be used as a base.
More importantly, Liang En had seen many Mongolian tureens or cups in photos before, and this tureen had almost the same lid style as the tureen he had seen before.
In addition to the cover, Liang En also took out a well-preserved Song and Yuan style silver-plated hairpin and a pure gold gourd-shaped earring from the gap in the reef.
"What's so weird about this tureen lid?" Liang En looked at the lid that could fit in his hand in confusion and frowned.
Although a bowl lid or cup lid left over from the Yuan Dynasty is very valuable, especially the lid with very exquisite patterns, which seems to have been used by ancient dignitaries, it is not possible to say how valuable such a single lid is. As for.
In particular, in addition to the cover, there is also a beautifully made hairpin and a pure gold earring in this stone crevice. No matter from which angle you look at it, this cover does not seem to be more precious than the other two items.
Especially the hairpin is a phoenix-headed hairpin and a silver phoenix-shaped flower-shaped hairpin. The upper body of the silver phoenix is hammered and fastened separately, and then welded to the wings.
There is a flower knot in the phoenix's beak. After a slight shake, it can be seen that the movable structures that have not been corroded by the sea water can even move and make a somewhat low collision sound. At first glance, it should be a masterpiece of the year. .
After realizing this, Liang En put away the earrings and hairpins, and then continued to examine the silver cover carefully. At first, he focused on the silver cover itself, but there was no inscription on it.
But when he checked the lid handle, he discovered that the silver ring he thought was the lid handle was not made together with the main part of the bag, but a silver ring that was welded on.
