Rebirth 13, starting from the big demolition treasure hunt

Chapter 36 Those are two gold teeth

He always felt that he entered this industry too late and did not find any good things while searching for treasures during large-scale demolition and construction.

It's just right now. Whether it's building a house or underground garage, building roads, or digging drainage ditches, a lot of soil will be dug and dumped.

In these muck, no matter what, something can be found.

You must seize this opportunity and try to find or buy as many valuable collections as possible in the past few years.

While thinking about the problem, he was also walking towards the weir pond that was filled with soil.

As he walked, he also observed some surrounding environments.

In addition to weirs and ponds, there are many farmlands and vegetable gardens here, but no crops or vegetables are grown here.

There are traces of excavators and bulldozers walking back and forth on it, so it must have been expropriated.

As soon as he walked to the weir and looked around for a while, he discovered that the dregs that had been dumped and flattened by bulldozers had been washed away by the rain, and a broken pottery figure was exposed on the surface.

Only the head of this pottery man is left, which is about the size of a walnut. Half of his face is exposed and the other half is buried in the soil.

Wu Yuansheng took out a small pickaxe from his backpack, put on his gloves, and dug out the broken pottery man.

The pottery man is made of red pottery, with a Tang monk hat on his head and a plump face, making him look like a monk.

Judging from this style, it was at least from before the Ming Dynasty.

If you want to collect something from an earlier era, you must go to the earthen yard. Most of the things in the demolition area are modern.

Both places are different.

He took out a newspaper from his backpack, tore a quarter of it off, and wrapped the remains of the pottery man's head that looked like a monk's head.

I found another convenient bag and packed it separately and put it in my backpack.

The walnut-sized pottery head just now is rare.

If you get it in the antique market and sell it for 600 yuan, many people will buy it.

After putting this item away, he took out a convenience bag, held the small pickaxe, and continued to search on the dirt field.

This weir pond covers a large area, and the location he is currently in is a place that has long been bulldozed.

There are some newly dumped dirt in the distance, and there are many piles of dirt there, which remain the same as when the eight-wheeled dirt truck dumped the dirt.

Not far away, he saw half an ancient brick on the soil surface. The brick was very wide and similar to the style of bricks from the Southern and Northern Dynasties.

The exposed side has a rag pattern, which is evenly distributed and looks better than the patterns on bricks of the same type in other periods.

Although the front does not appear to have any pattern, this type of brick may also have a good picture on the side.

For example, flying character patterns, mythical animal patterns, lotus patterns, etc.

Thinking of this, he used a small pickaxe to pry up the brick.

When he looked at the back of the brick, he noticed what looked like red blood stains on the surface.

It is normal for some things found in tombs, such as ancient jades, bronzes, and bricks, to contain this color. This is also an aspect of distinguishing the authenticity of things.

Seeing this color, Wu Yuansheng suddenly felt that when he put these real antiques in the future, he must put a Buddha statue in the house and a few scriptures.

As for why he wanted to do this, it could be to ward off evil spirits or to give him peace of mind!

I checked the three sides of this half brick, and there was a horizontal side that looked patterned.

This pattern looks like a flower. The flowers are symmetrical and give people a sad feeling.

The pattern was ordinary and he did not ask for the brick.

Not far ahead, Wu Yuansheng saw a small pit about half a meter in diameter and about a foot deep.

For him who often explores and digs for treasures, he is all too familiar with such pits.

Judging from the situation reflected in this pit, someone had used a detector to detect it before, and the pit was dug by people who came to the earth site to detect treasures.

There are mounds of dirt ahead that have not yet been flattened by bulldozers. The mounds must have been turned over recently.

Wu Yuansheng planned to go to the mound to take a look. Maybe it had not been explored or searched for yet.

As he walked over there, he saw several more pits of different sizes and depths dug out by others.

Needless to say, it was the treasure hunters who did it.

As he walked there, he saw several pieces of ancient ceramics and picked them up and put them in a convenience bag.

Approaching the piles of dirt that had not been bulldozed, he found that the dirt should have been turned over within two or three days.

The soil looked fresh, and no footprints were found on it.

Without wasting time, Wu Yuansheng started searching on these mounds.

<divclass="contentadv">As soon as he looked at a few piles of soil, he found that the soil in one pile looked very fine and black.

There are some rotten black wooden boards of different sizes scattered on the soil surface, as well as a few bone fragments.

There are also a small number of broken porcelain pieces, ceramic pieces, etc. here and there.

The black wooden board fragments looked like fragments of a coffin, and those bones might also be human bones.

He once encountered such a pile of dirt when he went out to use a detector to detect treasure.

You can usually find something by detecting it in this kind of soil, whether it is copper coins, copper dollars or silver dollars, you can probably detect it.

It's a pity that there is no detector, otherwise he would just operate on the mound.

Since there is no high technology, he can only watch on this pile of soil with his naked eyes.

After looking carefully for a while, he found a small piece of soil with a copper dollar stuck on it.

Wu Yuansheng picked up the copper coin and rubbed the dirt off the surface with his hands. He saw that it was a double-flag and ten-wen copper coin from the Republic of China period, which was a very common coin.

After putting the copper coin away, he used a small pickaxe to pick up the soil on the surface of the coin.

After searching for a while and finding nothing, he moved to the side again.

Not long after, he pulled out three more copper coins.

One of these three copper coins is a Sichuan copper coin of fifty cents, and the other two are double flags and ten cents.

He also collected the three coins.

Another small pickaxe dug down, and a row of teeth came out from the soil.

When Wu Yuansheng glanced at the row of teeth in an instant, he saw that some of the teeth were golden.

"Could there be gold teeth?" he couldn't help but think.

"Whatever, pick it up and look at it first!"

Thinking of this, he directly picked up the row of teeth and took it in his hand to look at it.

There are two rust-free, yellow dentures in this row of teeth.

It was obvious that they were two gold teeth, one of which was an incisor and the other a canine.

I casually broke the two dentures with my hands and they fell off.

Just when he was about to throw away the other teeth and bones, Wu Yuansheng discovered that the bones were blue-black in color.

He had heard others say before that the color of bones must be caused by poisoning.

Out of curiosity, he looked for a few other bones on the mound and found that they were also green and black.

It is estimated that people with gold teeth must have been poisoned in the past.

Judging from the copper coin just discovered, this person should be from the Republic of China period. At that time, it was already very popular for wealthy people to have their teeth inlaid with gold.

I heard that some people deliberately pry out their good teeth and replace them with gold ones in order to show off their wealth.

Throwing away the bones, Wu Yuansheng took another look at the big golden fangs and canines.

The big fangs are not big, about the size of dried broad beans, and the fangs are longer, like small "tiger teeth".

These two teeth are heavy in the hand, probably weighing fifty or sixty grams.

He took out the newspaper he had just used from his backpack and tore off another quarter. He wrapped the two gold teeth and put them into the small pocket on the side of the backpack.

Treasure hunting is unknown. Before coming here, he only planned to see if there were any good bricks in the dirt field here. He never expected to find something like gold teeth.

After finding the gold tooth, he became more motivated. Maybe there was a gold ring or jade finger in the soil.

Without wasting any time, he picked up the small pickaxe and continued to dig at the soil on the mound.

After searching for more than half an hour, he found another silver dollar and some copper coins.

At the same time, we also found several small medicine bottles from the Republic of China period.

The harvest is still great!

But after picking for such a long time, this kind of aimless picking made him feel very tired.

After picking for a while, he found nothing more, so he didn't want to pick anymore.

It would take at least a day to dig through this pile of soil. There must be something inside the pile, but there was no detector, so he was not used to searching aimlessly.
