Rebirth 13, starting from the big demolition treasure hunt

Chapter 380 Are you collecting antiques?
The weather today is very good, and there is no wind. Although the temperature is a bit low, it is still very comfortable to bask in the sun.

I put away my things and washed my hands in the small ditch not far away.

They took out the dry food they had brought with them, as well as the roast duck and beef they bought in the town, and started eating and drinking.

It was the first time for Wu Yuansheng to leave the city like this, go to a dirt farm so far away to look for something, and have lunch in such an environment.

During the one-and-a-half-year treasure hunt in his previous life, he didn't go very far. He basically stayed in old and new dirt dumps in urban areas or suburbs.

Of course, if he didn't have a specific location today, it wasn't too far from the city, and he couldn't get things elsewhere, he wouldn't have come here.

The porcelain pieces they picked up in the morning were only on the surface. There must be some mixed in the dirt.

If there is a bulldozer to push it away and pick it up, a lot can be picked up.

However, there are no bulldozers here, and it is estimated that the excavators will come over later to level them.

After all, it’s not nice to have piles of them, like graves, and they can’t stay like this for a long time.

"Nothing! Some porcelain, stones, here, have a cigarette."

He stood up, took out a cigarette, and handed one over.

Wu Yuansheng also smiled and greeted him.

After taking the cigarette, the man asked him again.

"I came here after lunch. I saw that you were searching in these mounds for a long time, and I was a little curious. Come and see, what are you looking for?"

"May I take a look at it?"

Many places have begun to gradually implement surveillance.

"It's just so-so! It's not a delicacy. Have you eaten it? Do you want to eat some together, but we didn't buy wine."

It was a common long door lock, and its surface was severely corroded.

He only saw a few rusty nails for hammering wood and found two copper bullet casings.

When walking outside, although you meet strangers, it is definitely good to make more good connections.

Asked Yang Cheng, he said that he only found a door lock among metal objects, and he took it out and looked at it.

The man asked them both.

He spoke the local dialect and his accent was similar to his own.

While he was eating and thinking about something, a man who looked about 40 years old came up to them, greeted them with a smile and said:
"It's a good life! This is both beef and roast duck!"

Neither of them used detectors, and no coins were found on the soil surface.

There was no one else around at noon, and he didn't look like a fisherman. He was probably a master working at the construction site.

There was nothing he couldn't see. Wu Yuansheng opened the back door of the van and let him take a look.

These days are not like in ancient times, where there were bandits and horse thieves, and they were afraid of being robbed.

I wonder what my luck will be with using a detector this afternoon.

Yang Tantou said nothing, just smiled at him.

"Why are you picking up these broken pieces of porcelain? Can you sell them for money?"

After reading it, he continued.

"Of course you can sell the better ones for money, but you also have to look at the things!"

Wu Yuansheng explained to him.

"Are you collecting antiques?"

The 40-year-old man seemed to understand somewhat and asked again.

"That's right! If you encounter something of value, you will collect some. Do you have any at home? If so, you can contact me!"

.........While eating lunch, Wu Yuansheng chatted with him.

Through small talk, he learned that the master's surname was Li, a local, and lived in a village about four or five miles away from here.

As a resident here, he knows everything about the surrounding area.

He was an excavator, and his family bought an excavator. He happened to be rebuilding a temple here, so he found him and came to work here.

The footprints on the mound were left by him when he came here to look for something.

Asked him if he had found anything, he said he found a jar, some plates, bowls and other porcelain.

I heard from Boss Li that this place was very prosperous more than a hundred years ago, and there was a dock not far from the river.

The daily necessities in their area are all transported in from there, and the resources in the mountains are also transported outside from there, so that they can be exchanged with other places.

Later, due to the war, everyone moved away. Now the scenic spot is being rebuilt here. It is estimated that it will not be long before it becomes prosperous again.

Hedong in thirty years and Hexi in thirty years.

Boss Li was also very interested in their collection of antiques and asked a lot of questions.

For example, what kind of things are valuable, whether they often encounter fake goods when they go out to buy things, whether they find particularly good things when picking up things in the garbage dump, whether their line of work is very profitable, etc.

After they finished eating, around one o'clock, Boss Li said he had to go to work in the afternoon and left.

But before leaving, I asked Wu Yuansheng for a business card.

There was no muck truck to transport soil in the morning, and the excavator just turned the soil around at the "construction site".

After all, not all soil is redundant, and some needs to be backfilled.

"Boss Yang, Master Li from the excavator said he has some things at home. Do you want to buy some?"

After assembling and debugging the detector and preparing to start work, Wu Yuansheng asked him.

"You go ahead and buy it. I've run out of money. I need to earn some to use. Besides, I never buy other people's things!"

Yang Tantou also adjusted the detector, and after speaking, he walked directly to the dump of dirt.

When chatting before, Boss Li said that he had got something, and that when he was not busy in the past two days, he would let them go to his house.

If the price is right, you can sell it to them.

People who use excavators are digging roads or foundations and doing construction everywhere, so it is normal for them to pick up some things.

If the stuff is good and he can make money, he will definitely buy some.

After finding a pile of soil, Wu Yuansheng also began to detect it.

When a temple is building a house, some coins are usually scattered at the foot of the wall. If it is a large temple, some blessing money from powerful people may be buried.

Those money are either rare editions or in large quantities.

It is also possible to bury some gold and silver.

(People in ancient times were more particular than today, and they believed more in things that could not be seen or touched.)
Over the years, various large and small temples may bury some coins due to their own reasons. This is similar to the reason why rich people hide coins privately.

If you are lucky, you will find a jar. If there are gold products, you will definitely make a fortune!
Although the chance is extremely small, when it comes to treasure hunting, as long as there is a slight chance, you must try your luck.

Following the signals from the detector again and again, he quickly detected several copper coins, including Song coins, Ming Dynasty coins and Qing Dynasty coins.

But they are all ordinary.

There should be no cellars in these soils. If there were cellars, some would have been found when picking up porcelain pieces before.

After all, if you have more money, the surface of the soil will be able to show it, and there will be green rust. You can find it just by looking.

After scanning another pile of soil and finding two Song coins, Wu Yuansheng stopped digging for these low-signal coins.

He planned to see if there were any larger objects in these mounds and start automatically filtering out those objects with a small signal range.
