Rebirth 13, starting from the big demolition treasure hunt

On Friday night, Yan Shun sent a message and told him the location of the "treasure hunt", which was a landfill next to Wuqiao near Dongjin Town.

There is development going on nearby, with schools and living areas being built. A lot of houses were demolished in the past two years. It's close to the river and the terrain is low-lying, so in order to fill it up, debris from many surrounding construction sites was dumped there.

After knowing the location, Wu Yuansheng drove his van there the next morning.

Although he didn't plan to attend the event, he still wanted to see the fun.

When we arrived, many people from our travels were there, including Yang Cheng, Lao Li, Wan Neng, Xue Houzi, Yan Shun, Xiao Xie, Hu Zhixiang, Xu Dazi, Wang Kunyun, Cai Xiong and others.

In addition to them, there are young people who have newly joined the treasure hunting industry and explorers from surrounding counties.

Around 9 o'clock, when everyone was present, a fat man about meters tall who was organizing the event explained the rules of the event to his colleagues who came to participate in the competition, and then everyone prepared to "work".

The activity is limited to metal items. Before the game, you can use a metal detector to sense the items you carry on your body to prevent cheating.

The competition lasts for one hour. During this time, three people will be selected according to the value of each detected object and will be rewarded with a detection machine or cash.

After one hour, everyone is free to do what they want and have lunch together on a AA basis.

(Someone also suggested that the top three participants be picked out by drawing lots to see who has better luck. The fat guy who organized the event said that he had reported it to his superiors, and maybe they would draw lots next time.)

After everyone had been "inspected", they each took their own tools and machines and started the competition.

Wu Yuansheng has stopped detecting, but not detecting does not mean that he will be idle when he comes.

(The landfill here is a bit remote, and before the event, few people came.

Of course, the main reason is that the distance is a bit far.)

The New Year is coming, and perhaps to meet the deadline, the pile of newly dumped rubble at night is very large.

Even if someone came to explore at night, it would be impossible to find everything.

While others were detecting with machines, he carried a backpack, a small snakeskin bag, and a small pickaxe, and watched with his naked eyes.

Using machines has its advantages, but checking with the naked eye can also save time.

When you detect an object, it definitely takes time to dig, but if you don't use a machine, you can save time and search more places and discover more objects.

Most of the piles of earth here are loess and do not contain any valuable items.

As an experienced treasure hunter, he could tell there was treasure in that pile of dirt with just a glance.

After observing ahead for a while, Wu Yuansheng discovered a pile of soil that was darker in color, black-brown, with blue bricks on it. He walked straight towards that place.

After walking closer and taking a look, I found that the bricks were from the Han Dynasty, and the patterns on them were circular "coin patterns".

This kind of brick, which also has geometric patterns, is very ordinary, so he doesn't plan to buy it.

What do bricks like this represent? Anyone with some collecting or archaeological experience knows that a small tomb must have been dug up.

As mentioned before, Dongjin Town in XZ District is one of the places with the longest history in the entire city.

There is also an ancient street in the town with blue brick, blue stone and blue tile houses. Many of the bluestone slabs on the ground have traces of wheels left behind.

There must be more than just bricks on the mound. After searching other places, he found a somewhat damaged pottery pig, a small pottery jar, and some fragments of other pottery products.

There should be coins in a pile like this, but without a machine, it is difficult to find them with the naked eye.

Of course, among the coins of the Han Dynasty, the most likely ones are the five-bead ones, which are not valuable at present.

After searching the pile of dirt and not seeing any other valuable objects, he walked to the top of the pile and looked at other piles of rubble.

Not far away, there was another pile of dark brown earth. A visitor from another county was digging on it with a small pickaxe.

Wu Yuansheng walked over there.

The pile of soil is not small. Others explore other people's soil, he picks up his soil, and everyone looks for their own soil. There is no contradiction.

Compared to the previous pile of soil, there are not many bricks in this pile of soil.

He looked around the mound and found more pottery and ceramic pieces there. After searching for a while, he found a slightly damaged tile and picked it up.

After looking at it, I found it was a tile with cloud patterns from the Han Dynasty.

This thing is more valuable than other pottery fragments.

He no longer planned to pick up those pottery fragments.

After putting the tile away, he continued looking.

When he found another broken spoon-shaped oil lamp, the person next to him had already dug out the object sensed by the detector, which was a "copper ring" shaped object that appeared to be about three centimeters in diameter.

The copper ring is somewhat like a small chess piece, except that the middle part is hollowed out.

Wu Yuansheng had once obtained this kind of object. People who didn't know much about it might think it was just an ordinary copper ring, but from the pile of soil containing Han Dynasty items, he was able to analyze that it was a "weight ring" and a "balance" used for weighing.

If it is sold as an ordinary item, it may be sold for 10 or 20 yuan, but for transactions between knowledgeable people, such a large one can basically be sold for around yuan.

He didn't say anything while watching. After putting away the "weight ring", the visitor continued to sweep the pile of earth.

Not long after, the signal came back.

This time the object was buried shallower, and it took him less than a minute to find the object that made the detector make the sound. It was a five-bead, which was not valuable.

There was no need to continue his exploration. After Wu Yuansheng looked at this mound and didn't find any other valuable items, he went to look for other mounds.

About 30 meters away from the rubble, there was a pile of soil and what looked like bricks. Yang Tantou was exploring there and walked over.

For those who often hunt for treasure, everyone has experience. What Wu Yuansheng can think of, others can also think of.

Therefore, those piles of rubble with bricks and dark brown soil were visited first.

"Boss Yang, how's your luck?"

Walking up to him, he asked him.

"I got a few small coins, but they're all ordinary stuff, useless!"

As he spoke, his detector scanned forward and received a signal.

Judging from the sound, it was probably a copper coin.

"Take your time, it's only been a dozen minutes, who knows, we might get the big stuff someday!"

"I hope so!"

While the two were chatting, they were also busy with their own things.

Judging from the style of the bricks, this pile of rubble is much later, probably from the Song Dynasty.

Maybe because he was busy dealing with the "metal objects", Yang Cheng did not pick up the pottery and ceramic pieces on the surface, which looked ordinary and were broken.

There are not many porcelain fragments on the surface, mainly tea cup fragments from Jizhou Kiln and a small number of fragments from Hutian Kiln.

"It's still a small leather coin, 'Yuan Fu Tong Bao'."

While he was picking up the porcelain pieces, Yang Cheng found the detected object and said to him.

"Keep going! The surprise may be in the next item."

Looking at him, he smiled.

Perhaps after finishing his search in this rubble pile, Yang Cheng took the machines and tools to other piles.

Wu Yuansheng searched for a while and was about to leave the pile of soil when suddenly, next to a large piece of blue brick, he saw a round object with a very small part sticking out.

This round object appears to be bluish-gray in color. It is difficult to spot unless you look carefully or your eyes are not looking right there.

He quickly dug it out with a small pickaxe.

After taking it in his hand and looking at it carefully, he determined that it was a "jade bi" made of stone.

(“Yu Bi” is not jade, it is made of bluestone.

The ancients had a strict hierarchy, and not everyone could use jade. Most people were not allowed to wear jade products.)

This bluestone "jade bi" has some damage on the edges, which is a natural result of the passage of time.

Compared with the "jade bi" made of real jade, the value of this one made of stone is definitely much lower.

But no matter what, it is an old item.

There is nothing to regret. I just want whatever I can pick up now.

He took a newspaper from his backpack, wrapped it up and put it in the backpack, and continued searching.

In the following time, Wu Yuansheng went to the rubble pile where Hu Zhixiang, Xiao Xie, Yan Shun, Xue Houzi and others were looking for objects, and found some ceramic specimens and miscellaneous items from different years.

There are also ceramic specimens, roof tiles, and various daily necessities.

The miscellaneous items are not made of metal materials, but some wolf teeth, cow teeth, horse teeth and the like.

He believes that early ivory products also have a certain collection value.

There is no complete pottery or porcelain object, all of them are more or less incomplete.

(There has been some construction in the past few years, but after a few years, when construction slows down, it will be difficult to find items if you want to go out and look for them.

Now that he has come out and encountered it, he can collect it with just a little effort, so he must have taken advantage of the opportunity to steal it.)
