Starting My Treasure Hunting In England

After cutting off a few pieces of good meat from the killed wild boar and removing the tusks, Liang En and Old Arthur returned to the house with the trophies.

As for the remaining wild boars, it is very simple to deal with them. Old Arthur has just used the walkie-talkie to notify the Central American workers on the farm who are not very good at using guns, so that they can also share these trophies.

Of course, if all the people combined can consume 1/5 of the wild boar, it is already very powerful. However, there are many foxes and wolves around here, so it only takes a day or two for those dead pigs to be destroyed by nature. Decomposers digest thoroughly.

For Americans, this is a natural time to celebrate with barbecue. Through barbecue and beer, Liang En quickly got to know Old Arthur and chatted about some very interesting things.

"Liang, what did you do in the United States?" Old Arthur asked curiously after swallowing a piece of roasted wild boar in his mouth.

Unlike those cities on the east or west coast, you may not see more than ten outsiders in this slightly remote town a year. Therefore, Old Arthur felt a little strange as to why Liang En appeared here.

"I'm here to hunt for treasure." Liang En said after thinking for a moment, and then pulled out a lot of similar news from his phone and showed it to Old Arthur.

"For example, if I can find a spur that was used by a famous person in the West, then I can sell the spur for tens of thousands of dollars on the East Coast or even in the UK."

"Can you really make money in this business?" Old Arthur said with his eyes widened, and then quickly explained. "I've also seen programs on TV that were similar to warehouse treasure hunts, but I thought it might have been a pre-rehearsed script by the director."

"Well - how should I put it, not everyone can make money in this industry." Liang En thought for a while and said. “You need a certain level of expertise, a keen eye and a little bit of luck.”

"For example, there are novices in the UK who used a metal detector for the first time and found a treasure left by the ancient Vikings, but there are also unlucky ones who have been busy for more than ten years but only got a few worthless silver coins. "

"Oh, so that's it." After satisfying his curiosity, Old Arthur leaned back on the chair and began to think. He soon asked as if he had thought of something. "By the way, do you always leave valuable things in your old places?"

"It's hard to say, it still has something to do with people." Liang En shrugged and said, "Precious treasures may come from the wilderness, and some ancient buildings will only have garbage left inside."

"But at least according to the information I get from chatting with colleagues, it is indeed easier to find treasures in some older settlements."

"If that's the case, I know a good place." Old Arthur said after thinking for a while. "There is an abandoned mining town five or six kilometers north of my ranch into the mountains."

"That town used to serve the surrounding coal mines, but as the coal mines were exhausted, the whole town was abandoned. Just after World War II, there was no one in the town."

"This sounds like a good place, but I'm worried that searching there will violate some laws?" Liang En asked worriedly after thinking about the gun ownership rate in Montana.

"You know I'm a foreigner. I came to the United States just to travel and hunt for treasure. It would be too bad if I accidentally got shot or was caught in jail."

"You can rest assured about this. There are quite a few small towns like this in the nearby mountains, and they can't be managed at all. And those places are not private territory." Old Arthur said with a smile.

"As for the U.S. government, what we are digging is not an important historical relic. So even if it is discovered, it will be fined."

So early the next morning, Liang En drove the pickup truck and headed towards the mountains with the pile of treasure hunting items. As for these metal detectors, Mr. Bruce prepared them before and gave them to Liang En. They can be used now.

Surprisingly, this mountain road in the valley is very flat. Although this road has not received any maintenance for more than half a century, it still allows the pickup truck driven by Liang En to pass smoothly.

Think about it, this was the only road for transporting coal in the mountains back then, so it is not incomprehensible that it has been maintained to this day.

After driving on the mountain road for more than ten minutes, a standard American town appeared in the valley at the end of the road. However, because no one has been here for decades, the entire town has basically been integrated into nature.

"It seems that this search is just for fun." Looking at the scene in front of him, Liang En's heart suddenly became cold. Because this environment is obviously not conducive to the preservation of various items.

After entering the center of the town, Liang En realized that the entire town was more severely corroded than it could be. For example, the original tavern in the city center has completely collapsed and was covered with a layer of plants.

"It feels like there shouldn't be anything found here." Liang En looked at the mess in front of him and shook his head helplessly.

Theoretically, it is easier to find valuable things in public places such as abandoned pubs than in private houses, but in this case, even if there is anything inside, it should be turned into a pile of garbage.

After circling the town, Liang En returned to the location of the tavern. But this time he didn't try to clean up the garbage on the surface, but went around to the back of the room.

Sure enough, after Liang En cleared away the pile of rotten wood formed by the fallen fence wall at the end of the path in the yard behind the room, a wooden door that had begun to rot and turn black appeared on the ground.

After destroying the wooden door with a crowbar and hammer, Liang En waited for a while for the gas inside to drain out, then put on a gas mask and walked out.

It must be said that this town must have been relatively prosperous back then, so the ladder leading to the cellar was not a wooden ladder common in the west, but a stone staircase. This makes it easier for Liang En to enter the wine cellar now.

The wine cellar is entirely made of stones. Although there are leaks in some places, it is generally well preserved. At least it is significantly more expensive than those wooden surface buildings.

"Wow, my luck is not too bad." Looking at the rows of wooden barrels on both sides of the wine cellar and the dusty bottles on the shelves, Liang En raised his eyebrows.

In those days, bars tended to stock large quantities of alcoholic beverages in areas where such logistics were not particularly convenient. After the area was abandoned, except for some valuable species, few people were willing to take those things away.

In addition, in such a place with complex terrain, people may also discard or forget something.

But as time changes, some things that may have been everywhere in the past will gradually become precious. These items that have increased in value due to time are the targets of Liang En's search.

Thinking of this, Liang En took out the metal detector he carried with him and began to detect it in the wine cellar. Because in places like underground wine cellars where light is not very good, there are likely to be some coins or even jewelry forgotten here.
