Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 70 Abandoned Town
After cutting a few pieces of good meat from the killed wild boar and taking off the tusks, Liang En and old Arthur returned to the house with the spoils.

As for the remaining wild boars, it is also very simple to deal with. Old Arthur just used the walkie-talkie to notify the Central American workers on the farm who are not very good at using guns, and let them share the spoils.

Of course, all the people can consume 1/5 of the wild boars, which is already very powerful, but there are many foxes and wolves around here, so it only takes a day or two, and those dead pigs will be destroyed by these natural forces. Decomposers digest thoroughly.

For Americans, it is natural to eat barbecue to celebrate this time.Through barbecue and beer, Liang En quickly got acquainted with old Arthur, and they chatted about some interesting things.

"Liang, what are you doing here in the United States?" After swallowing a piece of roasted wild boar in his mouth, Old Arthur asked curiously.

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

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

"For example, if I can find a spur that some Western celebrity used to use, then I can sell it for tens of thousands of dollars on the East Coast or even in the UK."

"Can this business really make money?" Old Arthur said with wide-eyed eyes, and then quickly explained. "I've also seen something similar to a warehouse treasure hunt on TV, but I think it might have been a rehearsed script by the director."

"Well - how should I put it, not everyone can make money in this business." 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 is a rookie in the UK who used a metal detector to find a treasure left by the ancient Vikings for the first time, 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 the case." After satisfying his curiosity, Old Arthur leaned back in his chair and began to think.Soon he asked as if thinking of something. "By the way, is it true that valuable things are left in 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 be left with garbage."

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

"If that's the case, I know a good place." Old Arthur said after thinking about it. "There is an abandoned mining town 6000 meters north from my ranch into Shanwu."

"That town used to serve the surrounding coal mines, but when 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 going there to search will violate certain 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 hunt for treasure while traveling. It would be too bad if I accidentally got shot or was caught in prison."

"You can rest assured that there are quite a few small towns of this type in the nearby mountains, and they cannot be managed at all. And those places are not private land." Old Arthur said with a smile.

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

So in the early morning of the next day, Liang En drove the pickup truck into the mountains with the pile of items for treasure hunting.As for these metal detectors, they were prepared by Mr. Bruce before, and then given to Liang En as a gift, and they are just ready to be used now.

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

Thinking about it, this is the only way for the coal in the mountains to be transported abroad, so it is not incomprehensible that it has been maintained until today.

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 whole 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 half 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 tavern originally located in the city center has completely collapsed, and at the same time, it is covered with a layer of plants.

"I feel like I can't find anything 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 like abandoned taverns than private houses, but in this situation, even if there is really something inside, it should be turned into a big pile of garbage.

After turning around the town, Liang En returned to the location of the tavern.It's just that this time he didn't try to clean up the garbage on those surfaces, 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 blacken appeared on the ground.

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

I have to say that the town should have been relatively prosperous back then, so the ladder leading to the cellar was not a common wooden ladder in the western region, but a stone-built step.This is convenient for Liang En to enter the wine cellar now.

The wine cellar is completely made of stones. Although there are leaks in some places, it is well preserved on the whole.At least compared with those wooden surface buildings, it is obviously much more important.

"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 in areas where such logistics were not particularly convenient tended to stock a large amount of alcoholic beverages.And after the area is abandoned, except for some valuable varieties, few people are willing to take those things away.

In addition, in places with complex terrain, people may also discard or forget some things.

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

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