Starting My Treasure Hunting In England

For this type of excavation, having the target on private property is one of the worst problems anyone encounters during the search.

Because in this case, if you want to dig, you must obtain the permission of the owner of the land, and in this case, if you encounter some kind of weird owner, the operation will not be able to proceed at all.

Fortunately, it was not that difficult to find that location in the Internet age. After a simple search, they discovered the location of the manor.

According to the information they found, the manor had been abandoned for more than 200 years and was now almost a pile of ruins, but it was still a private property.

The good news is that although it is a private territory, after asking around, the owner of the territory was found to be the land belonging to a member of the Golden Dawn, and Liang En also knew this person.

"I didn't expect that this manor actually belongs to your family." After arriving at this manor around London the next day, Liang En looked at Nelson who was already waiting here and stepped forward to shake hands.

In fact, among the current Golden Dawns, the one Liang En has the most contact with is Nelson. Although they meet less frequently, as young people with few Golden Dawns, they communicate frequently online and share some interesting things.

"Actually, if you hadn't called us, our family would have almost forgotten about this ancient manor." Nelson said after shaking hands with Liang En.

"This manor should be the oldest property in my family, but it was abandoned for a series of reasons after World War II."

"Later, the estate became part of a series of man-made tree farms around London and was therefore exempt from various property taxes, so we even gradually forgot about the estate until you called me earlier."

After saying that, Nelson led them through the dilapidated iron gate towards the main building of the manor, chatting while walking.

"You said before that there are some treasures hidden in the cellar of the manor in this place? But we have never heard of this, especially since we inspected this place before it was abandoned."

"It's not necessarily a treasure, it just means that there are 50 barrels hidden in the cellar." Liang En explained the details to Nelson. "But it certainly wouldn't be something ordinary that could be written specifically by the Jesuit side."

"But what I can confirm is that no gold or silver jewelry has ever been unearthed from this manor since its establishment. Even the simplest gold and silver coins for rent have never been found." Nelson shook his head.

"Especially in places like cellars where things may be hidden. My ancestors also made special explorations, but unfortunately nothing was found."

"But I don't think it's strange that you said there are hidden things in this manor. After all, this manor has a history of at least seven or eight hundred years. It's not strange to hide some little secrets."

This manor was built on a flat land, covering about sixty or seventy hectares. It seemed that the height difference of the entire manor was no more than two meters. In the past, this place should have been a very good manor, capable of producing a variety of agricultural products.

But as the manor was abandoned and then converted into a protective forest belt, human traces were gradually erased by nature, and only a few ruins survived.

After asking Nelson, Liang En and the others confirmed that there were roughly three target locations, two of which were ordinary cellars used to store supplies, and the other was a former wine cellar.

However, Nelson also said that when his family took over the place, there were only two cellars left. As for the third wine cellar, they only knew about it but had never seen it.

"This is a facility in your family manor. How could I have never seen it before?" Liang En felt a little puzzled by Nelson's statement, because the wine cellar is also an important facility in the manor, so it would be strange to pass it by without paying attention.

In particular, although the Nelson family is famous in history, the wealth accumulated by their family is not very large. Wealth at the level of a manor is obviously not much.

Considering that ordinary people will look at all the rooms when buying a house, it is basically impossible for the Nelson family to not study this important property carefully.

"Don't look at me, I really don't know about this." Nelson shook his head. “Because this manor has such a long history, we only know that the wine cellar exists, but we really don’t know where it is.”

"The reason why this is so is because the surface buildings in the manor were built after our family acquired it. When our family came here, we only found the foundation and two cellars, but never found the wine cellar."

"Then you didn't know this matter when you handed over the property?" Professor Alexander stepped forward and asked, "Whether in ancient times or now, the handover of real estate must be completed one by one."

"But we really don't know." Nelson sighed. "This manor was actually a property given to our family by the royal family. However, the royal attendant at the time only mentioned that there was a filled wine cellar, but did not say where it was."

"Well, it seems that I can only search slowly by myself." After hearing what Nelson said, Professor Alexander sighed, because it is definitely difficult to find a wine cellar that has been buried for hundreds of years.

To take the simplest example, a wine cellar that was abandoned and then landfilled will most likely not contain much metal, which means that it is basically impossible to search with a metal detector.

At the same time, after such a long time, even the above-ground buildings in the wine cellar have basically disappeared. Therefore, the layers of accumulation are definitely the biggest obstacle for them to find the wine cellar.

After sighing, they got into work, but only a few hours later, they confirmed that there was absolutely nothing in the two known cellars.

To be honest, if it was a small thing, they would have suspected that they might miss something, but it would definitely not be that easy to hide the 50 wooden barrels from the Age of Discovery.

"It seems that the problem has returned to the search for the wine cellar." Liang En, who was having lunch with a disgraced face, summarized the search work in the morning.

"We have always wanted to avoid such work, but we did not expect that the situation has slipped into the worst direction now. It is not an easy task to find a wine cellar on this land that has disappeared for at least 200 years. .”

"Sorry, I really can't help you in this regard." Nelson scratched his hair helplessly and said, "I asked my housekeeper to help find information about our family, but there is indeed no information about the old wine cellar."

"However, this search also allowed us to find some more important information, such as the investigation of the geological environment of the entire manor, which may be useful to you."

"Thank you." After hearing what Nelson said, Liang En immediately used the computer he carried with him to check the information. Sure enough, these information were all inspection reports on the geology of the entire manor.

Although these reports are made from an agricultural perspective, there are many clues in them that can be used as clues in the search for the hidden wine cellar.
