Chapter 388 Isn’t it just my luck?
The next morning, when Yang Tantou came over, he bought two handfuls of fresh vegetables.

They decided to go to Yiqiao first and bought a pound of cooked beef and offal.

The pot I ate yesterday tasted very good and was great for replenishing my physical strength.

After all, detecting and digging for treasures is also very physical work.

The time we arrived at the temple construction site was about the same as yesterday, less than 9:30.

After getting off the car, the two put on their backpacks containing the detectors, took small picks, snakeskin bags and other tools and went to the river.

Coming today, they were preparing to explore the river in front of the temple.

But before exploring and hunting for treasure, they planned to go to the place where their fellow villagers said they found the broken Buddha statue while fishing.

There are three fishermen here.

Maybe he comes here often to fish, and when he asked a random person, he told them the exact location of the Buddha statue.

Following the route indicated by this person, we walked less than 100 meters along the river and saw the broken stone Buddha statue.

I estimated the weight and found it was at least five or six hundred kilograms.

"Boss Yang, take off your shoes quickly and touch the water to see if there are fish or shrimps inside!"

(If you hire an excavator, a truck, and someone to move it, the cost will be at least 3000 yuan.

Where there are Buddha statues, he thinks the chances of shipments will be greater.

In winter, the water level nearby recedes a lot, and the sand and gravel in many sites are exposed to the water.

One of the arms of the Buddha statue is broken. It looks a bit big. It is about 1.6 meters tall. It should have a base. Some of the parts under the legs may be buried in the sand in the water.

With this weight, it is very difficult to get rid of it.

"So much noise?"

Not far from the Buddha statue, about two or three meters away, is the beach, which is a mixture of pebbles and fine sand.

It's time-consuming and labor-intensive, and you'll still lose money if you get it back.

If it really comes out of the cellar, according to industry regulations, anyone who sees it has a share, and no one can hide it secretly.

Even if a broken stone Buddha statue like this were sold outside, it would only cost 2000 yuan at most.

Just now he casually scanned and followed the scanning traces of the exploration pan, and there were constant sounds.

He then said something more and walked over after saying that.

After all, this place does not belong to anyone, anyone can come and pick up things.

He planned to start detecting from around the Buddha statue.

"This is a good start, are you going to get out of the cellar?"

Everyone knows how to settle accounts, so no one wants to stay here. )
After watching for a while, they found a nearby place, took out the detectors in their backpacks, and began to assemble and debug it.

After Wu Yuansheng assembled and debugged the detector, he took it to the position closest to the Buddha statue on the water beach and started scanning.

When he heard the alarm sound from the detector on his side, Yang Tantou, who was not far away, said in surprise.

Seeing him coming, Wu Yuansheng smiled and joked with him.

The place we just used the detector to detect was in the water near the Buddha statue.

"Don't worry, I'll use a shovel to dig out a few shovels of sand and take a look. I hope it's a fish! Or a "yellow croaker"!"

Yang Tantou put down the detector, picked up the shovel, and asked him to sweep a few more times with the machine.

In a place where the noise was slightly concentrated, I shoveled a shovelful of sand.

Pour the sand on the nearby river beach, and start to smooth the sand with his hands.

Soon three coins were revealed. After looking at them, one was a one-yuan RMB coin, and the other two were five-cent RMB coins.

One yuan is a peony one yuan, and two quintessences are a plum blossom pentagon.

"Is it just my luck? When others dig, they are all big stuff, but when I dig, they are all little shrimps!"

Yang Tantou looked at the exposed coins and said somewhat dumbfounded.

"Okay, one shovel can dig out the value of an ordinary copper coin, which is pretty good."

Wu Yuansheng said to him with a smile again.

At present, the value of ordinary copper coins and copper yuan is only 2 yuan each.

"Come again, let me see if I can order anything else!" After saying that, he picked up the shovel and asked him to continue scanning with the detector.

This time, after searching for the sand shoveled up, there were also coins.

There are one yuan, five cents and one dime.

One corner is a chrysanthemum corner from the 1990s.

Undeterred, he dug a few more shovels.

Most of the coins obtained are one yuan, five cents or one dime coins.

Of course, I also got a few copper coins and copper coins. The copper coins were Qianlong Tongbao and Jiaqing Tongbao, and the copper coins were the Guangxu Yuanbao worth 20 coins.

They are all ordinary versions.

"The "hoard" here can't be full of these coins! It feels very different from other places. How come there are so many modern coins?"

After a while, Yang Tantou lost the passion for treasure hunting that he had when he first heard the noise, and said with a slightly depressed tone.

"Maybe it's because of the stone Buddha statue. Many people will throw some coins near it when they see the Buddha statue."

Wu Yuansheng thought for a while and then said.

"It's possible what you said! Besides, I think the digging is not deep enough. Those early coins are usually buried deeper!"

After Yang Cheng finished speaking, he was going to take off his shoes, and then went down to dig in the water.

"Aren't there some stones on the bank of the river over there? Let's move them over and dig them out for a while. What if there aren't any inside? Or the coins are buried too deep and it's not easy to dig them up in the water!"

Seeing him like this, Wu Yuansheng stopped him.

It's winter now, and it's very cold in the water. It wouldn't be good if your feet cramp or you catch a cold from the cold.

Next, the two of them moved the rocks over there and placed them on the water's edge.

These stones should have been moved here by fishermen in previous summers and used.

There are some locations with stones like this, and there are many more along the river bank.

After laying the stones, Wu Yuansheng detected and determined the location, and Yang Tantou started digging again.

This time we dug much deeper, about half a meter.

After finding the sensed metal object, they discovered that it was indeed a copper coin.

There are two coins, one is Kangxi Tongbao and the other is Daoguang Tongbao, both coins of Qing Dynasty.

"It seems we still have to dig deeper! Those earlier ancient coins are buried deep."

After discovering that it was no longer a coin, Yang Tantou said.

"Yes! But if the coins in the water and sand are buried deep, they are no longer ours!"

Wu Yuansheng said helplessly.

When digging in the sand, if there is water, it will basically be difficult to dig after it exceeds half a meter, and the surrounding sand will quickly fill in.

In addition, there are pebbles of different sizes in the sand, which also increases the difficulty of digging.

"That's what you said. Let's dig out everything we can. This definitely won't be a cellar. The coins are not that dense yet."

Yang Cheng agreed with him.

This is not the first time for them to hunt for treasures and dig coins in the river sand.

In the morning, they didn't go anywhere else. They just spent a long time exploring the water near the Buddha statue and the surrounding dry beach.

By 12:30, feeling hungry and having searched for all the coins within a few meters of the area, the two packed up their things and went to where the van was parked, and then started preparing lunch.

In half a day, they found the most coins, more than 400.

There are more than 60 copper coins and coins.

There are also a small number of miscellaneous metal parts.

There are more than 400 coins, almost 200 yuan. In addition to the face value of one yuan, five cents, and ten cents, there are also a small number of five cents, two cents, and one cent.

Among the copper coins are a Kangxi Arhat coin and a Yongzheng Tongbao.

Miscellaneous items include small lead blocks from fishing nets, bullets, small bells, copper arrowheads, keys, etc.
