Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 212 Harness and Shopping

Apart from the box, there is nothing of value in this pit.Only some sand and charcoal filled the space as filler.

After everyone spent a lot of effort to clean up all these things, they only saw a palm-sized cross with a base lying quietly on the bottom of the pit surrounded by raw soil.

"It seems that this is the only thing in this pit." Liang En said to the people around after confirming that there were no traces of other disturbances around. "Let's look elsewhere next."

Unfortunately, in the next day and a half, they didn't find anything that could make people's eyes shine.The only thing that may be of any value is a half-man-high broken stone cross dug from the ground of the church ruins.

"It seems that this is the only thing in this area. Let's go to the archaeological team over there." On the second afternoon when the silver-plated copper box was unearthed, Liang En and the others looked at a lot of messy things on the white cloth. Stuff decides.

During this day and a half, Liang En and the others went through the entire area assigned to them by the workers, and dug out all the metal objects in it.

As they had expected, most of the pile of things they dug up were just scrap metal, only a few scattered silver coins, buttons and individual armor fragments were of some value.

If they hadn't unearthed a small bag of silver coins and a box before, their search work this time can be said to be a loss to grandma's house.

For that box, Liang En could not hold back his curiosity the night before and used a [Appraisal (N)] card, but the conclusion given by the card felt a bit cloudy.

[This is a copper-plated silver box, just a large jewelry box that the captain of the hussar squadron bought casually in the market, but it was used for other purposes. 】

[In 1700, when this distinguished squadron of hussars was disbanded.The last squadron leader of the squadron exchanged the valuable souvenirs in the squadron for money and distributed them to the soldiers, and put the worthless things in boxes with everyone and buried them under the oak tree in the camp. 】

Obviously, in the case of a box, the card will only identify the box itself, not the contents of the box.Fortunately, after checking the weight of the box and the sound after shaking, everyone determined that there was unlikely to be precious metals such as gold and silver in the box.

And when they took their things to meet the archaeological team next door the next day, the attitude of those archaeological teams after checking various things also proved their previous conjectures.

"We will recover these silver coins according to the market price." After checking what Liang En and the others brought, the person in charge of the archaeological department said. "Other things belong to you. I will issue you an exit permit now."

At the time of the inspection, the archaeologists used a special X-ray machine to check the contents of the box, and found that there were only four horseshoes and a horse bit that looked like they were wrapped in some broken textiles.

It was not uncommon for an elite cavalry unit to have decommissioned harness as a memento.Therefore, after confirming that there is no precious metal in it, the local archaeological department is naturally unwilling to pay for it.

"If we really want to buy, we can only pay 500 euros." The staff member in charge of the negotiation said. "Because according to the similar items we found before, there are often only a few old harnesses in it."

"Okay, this thing is given to me, and I will pay 1000 euros for this thing." After handing over the items with these local personnel, Liang En looked at the box and said.

Although this item should not be that valuable from a monetary point of view, for Liang En, who pays more attention to historical value, he will naturally not let go of something that has a high probability of being able to draw a good card.

"800 is enough." Pierce, who also saw the X-ray just now, said. "Although it is obvious that the guy raised the price to 500 just now to lower the price, but if it is only ironware, 5.00% more than [-] is almost the same."

Pierce's mood now seems to be much better than before, because the pile of things just now sold a total of 6 euros, not only smoothing out the expenditure this time, but also earning about 3500 euros.

In addition to money, what is more important is that the armor and weapon fragments that are allowed to be taken away can also be sold in the shop, adding a batch of goods to the shop.

"Does anyone really buy these rusty scrap metals?" Fan Meng looked at the pile of rusty iron and copper pieces and felt a little puzzled. "These things aren't even a complete item—"

"You are right, these things are indeed just some waste products." Liang En nodded and said, "But this does not mean that there is no market for these things."

"It's not financially affordable, at least for the vast majority of people, to buy a real set of antique armor, or even a modern imitation of it."

"So these fragments from the authentic hussar armor are the best items that can meet the needs of ordinary people in this area, and they are collectibles that ordinary people can collect."

"Yes, this is a collection for the public." Pierce went on to explain. "We can completely remove the rust on the top and sell these things after oiling them. According to the completeness of preservation, we can sell them for 20-70 pounds."

"So that's how it is!" Fan Meng showed a clear expression on his face, "I have really improved my knowledge. I used to think that only those complete things were bought."

Liang En planned to go home after dealing with Pierce's affairs, but an email made him change his mind.Because the e-mail from Ireland told him that his EU concealed gun license was obtained.

The European Union in this world is obviously more integrated than the European Union in Liang En's previous world, so there are many such documents that can be recognized by the entire European Union.

It's just that compared with similar documents in the United States, it is much more difficult to apply for such documents in the European Union.If it wasn't for Liang En's current status in the academic world, and the fact that he had helped a police officer before, the application probably wouldn't have been approved so quickly.

In addition to Liang En's own certificate, Fan Meng's certificate also came down.However, unlike Liang En's personal certificate, Fan Meng's certificate is a work certificate hung under the Panda Adventure Studio. After all, his personal property cannot reach the lower limit of the certificate.

It is a good thing to have a certificate, but the biggest problem for Liang En now is that he has a certificate but does not have the corresponding weapons.

Because he didn't pay attention to this before, he didn't have any firearms except a bolt-action shotgun and a five-six-and-a-half he bought in the United States last time.

Therefore, Liang En planned to buy a pistol here with Fan Meng and take it back while he was in Poland now.After all, compared with Britain and Ireland, various weapons in Eastern Europe are cheaper.

So after lunch, Liang En and Fan Meng drove to the city under the leadership of Pierce, planning to buy some goodies.
