I Am a Nobleman in England

Britain can be said to be a paradise for treasure hunters and gold diggers. The UK is the country with the lightest regulation on the use of metal detectors for treasure hunting among all Western European countries. In most cases, you can detect excavation as long as you get permission from the landowner. Once the cultural relics are dug up, the ownership belongs to the individual.

In the UK, the use of metal detectors to hunt for treasure and gold is often regarded as a leisure pursuit and a personal interest that is harmless to society. According to mainstream media reports, treasure hunting and gold rushing are often associated with key words such as popular science, knowledge dissemination, and cherishing historical heritage. The British Treasures Act also encourages people from all walks of life to participate.

The British "Treasure Act 1996" stipulates that treasure hunters must first obtain the consent of the landlord before they can go to the land to explore treasures. Any valuable or meaningful discovery must be reported within 14 days.

If it is confirmed as a treasure, it belongs to the country. Purchased by the state and exhibited by the museum.

Any money received shall be divided equally between the discoverer and the landlord of the place of discovery. Anyone who conceals or fails to report can be sentenced to three months in prison or fined.

In the UK, there are about 30,000 treasure hunters like Arthur. Some of them belong to a certain community interest group, and more are freelance self-employed like Arthur.

In the past 20 years, British treasure hunters have unearthed more than 14,000 treasures, of which 40% have been sold to British museums. In addition, there are 100,000 relatively small archaeological discoveries, such as a 17th century dog ​​collar. . .

Thousands of treasure hunters like Arthur, with metal detectors, swept around the fields from early morning to dusk.

Many of them will say that this is just a pastime. They don't expect to get rich, but how many of them don't dream of getting rich in their hearts?

Many British people carry metal detectors to search for treasures in various parts of the UK. The media often report glorious deeds such as treasure hunting and changing fate, and the treasure hunting team has become increasingly large, and many people have even studied since they were young. In the past two years, many people have found their treasures by it!

For example, in 2007, there was a buddy named Derek who had the best luck. He used a metal detector in a small town in Scotland to obtain a large number of Viking treasures. He handed over 100 objects he found to the National Museum of Scotland for display in the museum.

Because of his great contribution to historical research, the National Museum of Scotland eventually paid him close to two million pounds.

Another treasure hunter, Pete, found more valuable treasures in Suffolk County, including 15,000 gold and silver coins, 200 pieces of jewellery, various ornaments, and tableware.

The discovery of these cultural relics has earned the treasure digger a reward of more than 1.7 million pounds, and these cultural relics are currently displayed in the British Museum.

Compared with these professional treasure hunts, some people use metal detectors to dig out treasures in farmland. For example, this year, a pair of treasure hunters dug up a large number of Viking-era treasures in the farmland, including 600 coins.

In addition, the father and son later discovered precious gold wine glasses, as well as the Holy Grail, silver tableware, seals, etc. from the 10th to the 12th century AD.

Coincidentally, not long ago, two metal detector enthusiasts discovered about 50,000 ancient silver coins in the farmland. . .

The successive news of digging treasures made the British people unable to sit still. Everyone picked up their own metal detectors and began to hunt for treasures. Treasure hunters followed one after another and found more treasures.

Many people have also searched for precious gold cultural relics with exquisite appearance and many cultural relics of great value. This is also the main reason why Arthur was tempted to buy equipment and join the treasure hunt.

How to relieve worries, only get rich. The only way to get rich is to hunt for treasure.

Although Arthur is rich now, no one thinks he has a lot of money, right?

If buried here is really the treasure put in by the first Earl of Bolin, once it is dug out, it will really make a sensation in the whole of Britain, and the value of historical research will be very amazing.

Therefore, Arthur didn't want to wait for a minute, he wanted to immediately unlock this secret that may have been buried for eight hundred years.

"Boom boom boom—"

An hour later, a small excavator drove down from the flatbed of a trailer, and the crawler tracks rolled down the lawn, leaving two clear indentations.

Arthur stood on the slope, stretched out his hand to signal, the small excavator stopped, the driver jumped out of the car, and after greeting Arthur, Arthur took the driver to the area where a small red flag was inserted and pointed Said: "This is the area, first dig four meters."

After looking at it, the driver nodded and said, "No problem."

For the work of digging a small hole for a thousand pounds, the driver will not take a few more orders.

"Boom boom boom—"

"Wow--"

The small excavator slowly descended, and the four Labradors who followed Arthur looked at the ‘monster’ of the excavator and barked.

"Stop!"

After more than ten minutes of digging, a small mound had been piled up at the side of the pit. Arthur suddenly reached out and made a stop motion and shouted at the excavator: "Stop it first, let me see!"

"Lord——"

At this moment, a pickup truck was parked on the hillside. Butler Paul jumped out of the car with three male waiters, took a hanging ladder from the carriage, and walked over quickly.

"It's just right, put the ladder up, I'll go down and take a look." Arthur said to the butler Paul with the engineer shovel.

"Ok."

Paul directed the waiter to lower the ladder. Arthur stepped on the ladder and came to the bottom of the pit. After stepping on it with his foot, Arthur unfolded the engineer shovel and thrust it downward.

"Boom—"

When the engineer shoveled one-third of the soil, it collided with the ‘thing’ buried in the soil, and made a dull sound. Let Arthur's eyes suddenly brighten, the corners of his mouth turned up, his face full of joy.

"Bring your tools down and clean it up for me, Paul, let the driver wait a while, maybe he needs his excavator to lift things up later."

Arthur raised his head and instructed the people around the pit, and then he lowered his head very hard and began to clean the dirt with an engineer shovel.

At this time, three waiters with shovel also stepped on the ladder to the bottom of the pit and began to clean up the dirt under Arthur's command. Arthur looked at the exposed rusty metal and the semi-curved wooden box top. .

"Crack—"

"Lord, it looks like a box, but the wood is rotten and there is something in it..."

A waiter stopped the excavation, his eyes flashed with astonishment, and he wanted to report from Arthur.

"I saw it, okay, everyone stop, you all go up." Arthur directly prevented several people from continuing to dig and let them leave the bottom of the pit. Although the three waiters were very curious about what was in the box, he guessed it might be The treasure was dug up, but under the command of the master Arthur, they could only leave.

"Paul, let the excavator driver leave. He and his machine are no longer needed here. Thank him for his help. Let them go back. You throw me a travel bag, mask and gloves." Arthur stood by. The bottom of the pit told Paul who was standing by the side of the pit.

He knows that after hundreds of years of erosion, this treasure chest is probably already rotten, and it is impossible to get it on top as a whole, and can only be cleaned up slowly.

But it is really a box of gold and silver jewelry. With so many people and mixed hands, it is inevitable that someone will be distracted. Naturally, he will not fake the hands of others. No matter how tired and dirty, this cleaning work can only be done by himself. .

"Okay, Lord, I see." The butler, Paul, knew that he had dug something, and very tacitly let the three waiters who had returned to the ground leave, and then sent away the excavator driver.

And Arthur, who had already cleared a completed semi-arc iron hoop wooden box top at the bottom of the pit, looked at the treasure box about 1.5 meters long and nearly 70 or 80 centimeters wide, his face was agitated, and his hands were slightly unconscious. Trembling.

"Lord, equip you—"

"boom!"

At this moment ~www.readwn.com~ the butler Paul threw down a black travel bag, and Arthur said to Paul with ecstasy, "It's really a treasure, I saw the gold piled in it!"

"Congratulations, Lord!"

"Haha..." Arthur smiled happily, took out a gas mask and a pair of rubber gloves from his travel bag, shoveled the engineer a few times, turned it into a draft, turned it around, and smashed it into the treasure chest. Inside the top of the wood, and then a pull.

With a clatter, the wood was pulled apart like a piece of paper, revealing the gold ornaments pushed inside.

"Hoo-hoo-"

Wearing a gas mask, Arthur, with his right hand wearing rubber gloves, picked up a large gold cross inlaid with red garnets that had been squeezed and deformed. He raised his head and showed it to the butler Paul, who was squatting in the pit and watching him. : "To be sure, I really found a huge treasure!"
