Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 990 Treasure
Because of the large number of excavators and the fact that Liang En used his extraordinary power to change some underground conditions to make the excavation work more convenient, after more than 20 days of excavation, they dug to a depth of more than 5 meters and found the ruins of the city wall.

The reason why the excavation was relatively slow was that as a professional archaeological team, they had to clean up and record each layer in detail, leaving enough information before excavating the next layer.

After lunch that day, Liang En and Joan of Arc each picked up a metal detector and jumped into the newly excavated floor, and then began to explore.

Because Liang En only had a few fragmented locations in his memory, he could only search a little bit in a stupid way. However, compared with Schliemann, at least he had a metal detector, so the efficiency would be much higher.

"Let's check along the bottom of the ruins of the city wall first." Looking at the working surface less than ten meters long, Liang En pointed to one side of the city wall and said to Jeanne, "The two of us are on one side."

Soon, Liang En and the others started their exploration work along the corner of the city wall. Surprisingly, Liang En heard the beeping sound in the earphone after walking less than three steps.

"Can't be so lucky?" Liang En used the metal detector to scan the area repeatedly, and at the same time, a thought came to his mind, because the current situation is really a bit of a coincidence.

Because Liang En and the archaeological team from Huaxia had already made a division, that is, everyone took turns to use metal detectors to carry out exploration work, everyone had the same time, and then they took turns.

On the one hand, this is to break down the work and make it easier for everyone. On the other hand, it is to give the possible glory to fair luck, so that everyone has the opportunity to get the honor of digging the treasure.

After all, for Liang En, presiding over this excavation has already given him enough honor, so it doesn't matter to Liang En who actually dug that thing up.

Because unlike excavating the entire Trojan ruins, this is only a very small part of the excavation, so there is no need to take advantage of every penny.

But what he didn't expect was that sometimes when luck came, he couldn't stop it. At least after their simple inspection, he could basically confirm that there were indeed many precious metal products buried in this place.

After finally confirming the location of the unknown treasure, Liang En and the others immediately radioed the Huaxia archaeological team resting nearby, and then mobilized all the people to start clearing the land.

Half an hour later, a person finally touched a certain hard object with his shovel, and then started cleaning along that place. Soon, a large piece of soil mixed with a lot of golden light appeared in front of everyone.

"These things should have been put in boxes in the past, and then buried in the soil." After seeing the regular pile of gold ornaments there, Liang En whispered to Joan of Arc.

"We can tell from the appearance of these things, because only after they are placed in boxes and then the boxes slowly rot away, can the things packed in boxes look so regular when they are unearthed."

However, this thing is not a boxy shape. This is mainly because the long time has caused these things to undergo certain changes even in the soil, so they appear not so regular.

"What should we do next?" Looking at the pile of things that were gradually being cleaned up, Professor Liu, who led the Huaxia Archaeological Team, walked up to Liang En and asked. "Should we clean up the scene directly, or—"

"Dig it all up, then put it in the laboratory next to it and clean it up little by little." Liang En glanced at the other archaeological team members who started to come to watch around the pit and said.

"I observed that most of the cultural relics buried in this place are jewels, and they are the top-notch jewels in ancient times, so there are likely to be a lot of very small and delicate parts inside."

"If I dig here, I am worried that some things may be lost through omissions, so it is the most appropriate way to go into the laboratory to clean up these things."

"Of course, another important reason is that these things are not big and heavy, so we can easily transport these things and the surrounding soil directly."

"You are right, let us do this." After Liang En finished his suggestion, that Professor Liu nodded in agreement, and then began to arrange a series of equipment such as shelves, boxes, and hoists.

But because this work is a very delicate work.So even though they knew exactly what they were going to dig, they kept busy until the early hours of the morning before returning the gleaming golden mud to the temporarily built laboratory.

It was already two o'clock in the morning when this thing was shipped, but everyone was in a state of excitement, and even other scholars came to watch because they heard about it.

It's just that for those people, the onlookers this time are really disappointing, because in order to avoid losing anything, the outside of the pile of soil was covered with a thick layer of canvas, so they couldn't see what was inside?
So on the second day, a large group of scholars came to the temporary laboratory, and then gathered together to start the cleaning work.

Everyone naturally welcomes these free laborers, so as the large piece of soil was stripped away little by little, everyone's excavation progress increased a lot at once, and then things were cleaned out one by one.

As they had guessed before, it contained very exquisite jewelry, and exquisiteness often meant that there were a lot of small parts in those jewelry.

Especially after such a long time, some of them inevitably twisted, deformed, broke or even fell off, and then mixed into the surrounding soil.

So in the following time, everyone even used the fine-mesh stoppers used to sift the flour, trying to clean out those small golden balls or golden threads that are not much bigger than sesame seeds from the soil.

Of course, a series of precious and semi-precious stones that were originally inlaid on jewelry were also cleaned out. Because they had experienced too long light, the surface of those precious stones had oxidation and erosion.

This makes these stones look a bit like the surrounding debris, so professionals must identify those fine stones one by one, so as to ensure that every gemstone is picked out without missing anything.

Fortunately, a large number of scholars have gathered here, so after seeing this discovery, naturally many very professional people volunteered to help complete the clean-up work.

So with everyone's joint efforts, they completed all the cleaning work in just one week, and then simply classified this batch of treasures.

"This is indeed a huge treasure." Looking at the dazzling array of treasures in the cabinet in front of him, he said in a tone of emotion for the Turkish archaeologists who have been with them these days.

"I know that this was not dug out from the Trojan ruins in the epic, but if I were to look at it, I think these treasures are worthy of the legendary and rich Troy."
