Looking at the smelly bones in front of him, Zhu Yu hurriedly took two steps back, with just the right amount of panic on his face.
Ran Jie quickly stepped forward and helped Zhu Yu to the steps. He said to Zhu Yu:
"Boss, you go up and rest first, I'll clean up here!"
"No, no, no, no need." Zhu Yu gritted his teeth, raised his head and said to George above:
"Mr. George, I suggest you call Mr. David here now. These bones need to be dealt with by the owner of this manor."
George naturally knew this. He was shocked when he saw Zhu Yu digging out human bones with a shovel!
Now that he realized what he was doing, George immediately called David and asked him to come over quickly.
After receiving George's call and confirming that he was not joking, David rushed over immediately. When he saw the bones under the pit, David also had a complex expression.
"Let's seal this place off first." David immediately announced after regaining his composure, "People around should go to other places first. This place will be classified as a restricted area! Young people in the pit, come up too!"
Ran Jie looked at Zhu Yu, who shook his head and said:
"Mr. David, I'm sure there should be treasure buried under the bones, so I can't go up yet."
George hurriedly explained the explanation Zhu Yu had given him before.
David looked complicated and then said:
"In that case, fine."
There were few people around the manor, and it was already an hour later when the police arrived.
The workers of the manor were the main force, with the help of Zhu Yu and Ran Jie, and three bones were dug out below.
The police station sent someone to look at it and said it was a corpse from hundreds of years ago.
Although there were injuries on the bones, it was obvious that they had been killed, and hemp ropes were also found, but because they were eucalyptus from hundreds of years ago, they could not be traced, so they gave up.
The current owner of the manor bought it only a few decades ago, and could not trace it back that far, so the eucalyptus was only recorded and the bones were buried separately.
Then Zhu Yu's Ran Jie continued to dig.
On the way, the two of them ate some dry food they had brought with them to replenish some energy. When they continued digging to more than four meters, they finally made a discovery!
Zhu Yu shoveled a shovel onto something hard. Ran Jie heard the sound and hurried over to help. Then the two of them shoveled away the soft mud, and an iron box appeared!
George watched the whole process, and David came over from time to time.
Occasionally, treasure hunters come here, but because they have dug up corpses before, the smell here has not dissipated, so most treasure hunters stay away from this place.
When Zhu Yu and Ran Jie dug up the bones, Howard was still secretly laughing at Zhu Yu who didn't find the treasure but found the corpse, and might even be implicated.
But now I found that Zhu Yu didn't give up and was still digging deeper. I vaguely admired the perseverance of this Chinese boy!
Howard is naturally not someone willing to admit defeat. He is also racing against time to find places where the treasure may be hidden.
Can't lose to this Chinese boy!
When he heard the few treasure hunters on the other side of the pit exclaiming, Howard's heart sank. Could it be that a treasure has been discovered over there?
Although he tried his best to dissuade himself from going there, Howard was still upset, and then ran over there with the crowd.
Under the deep pit, Zhu Yu and Ran Jie were struggling to lift the box out of the mud.
The iron box is very heavy, and the contents inside are not light.
Fortunately, this box is half a meter long, about thirty centimeters wide, and twenty centimeters high, so it's not too big.
The two people struggled to lift the box to the steps. Then George asked someone to hang a rope from above and tie it to the box. The person below held it while the person above pulled it up. Soon the box was pulled up.
Zhu Yu and Ran Jie also followed.
There was a group of people surrounding the box. When they saw Zhu Yu and Ran Jie approaching, they immediately got out of the way.
Zhu Yu did his job, took a shovel, knocked off the lock on the iron box, and then opened the lid.
Two rolls of black stuff were exposed.
what is this?
The people present looked at each other, this didn’t look like a treasure!
Zhu Yu didn't wait for anyone to react. He took out the two rolls of stuff from the box with a shovel, and then peeled one of the rolls open.
Once the contents inside are exposed, everyone will understand!
It turned out that the black thing was cowhide, wrapping the contents inside.
Peeling off the layers layer by layer, the contents inside were exposed.
This is a roll of paper.
Because the cowhide was wrapped very tightly, the roll of paper was not damaged by soaking, and the writing on it was clearly visible.
"Documents?" George had a strange look on his face.
Many treasure hunters showed expressions of disappointment or even ridicule.
It’s not treasure!
Zhu Yu was not like this. He picked up the information and read it carefully.
It has curly fonts on it. After a quick glance, it should be some documents from the American Civil War, which is what we usually call the Civil War.
Also included was a letter to the then famous General Philip Sheridan, with a reply.
This content is good! It should be worth some money!
Zhu Yu smiled and took his backpack, took out the sealed bag, and put the information away.
Seeing Zhu Yu's actions, George couldn't wait to ask:
"Zhu, what is that?"
"Some Documents from the American Civil War."
George suddenly showed an excited expression:
"That must be more valuable!"
Zhu Yu said nothing and started to deal with another roll of things.
When this roll of cowhide was opened, what was revealed was an eye-opener for the treasure hunters watching!
Gold coins, silver dollars, gold jewelry, gemstone rings and more!
Although the items that were dismantled were only a handful, they were very well preserved. If they were from that era, they would be worth a lot of money!
Looking at the rusty things dug out in his hands, it is really infuriating!
Howard feels like a clown!
But he was very jealous of Zhu Yu's luck!
If he hadn't been lucky, how could he have dug up these treasures?
But think about that pit that is nearly five meters deep. Do you have the perseverance to dig it?
Think about the corpses under the pit. If you encountered them, would you continue?
Howard suddenly felt that he really looked like a clown!
Zhu Yu and Ran Jie collected the things, but did not stop. They continued to dig down and dug out three more boxes. There were various things in them, but they were all well preserved.
There are guns and ammunition, a large number of letters, Continental coins issued by N earlier, and a lot of silver coins.
It's hard to say whether it's worth the money or not.
Of course, this value is based on Zhu Yu's net worth.
After cleaning these things, it was already dark.
Most of the treasure hunters had already left, but they still had some patience to watch the entire process of Zhu Yu's excavation.
George actually persisted until now.
Seeing Zhu Yu packing up the harvest, George sighed:
"Zhu, I really envy your luck and your ability! You surprise me every time! I find that wherever you go, you will definitely find treasures!"
Zhu Yu smiled and did not answer.
There were not many people left, but David still officially announced that Zhu Yu was the recipient of the Blackstone Manor Treasure Hunter Medal, and then put the medal on his chest.
Zhu Yu said thanks and drove away with Ran Jie.
This trip is really tiring!
It was the most tiring of his treasure hunting journey!
After sending Ran Jie to the rental house, Zhu Yu went directly back to the new villa and fell asleep.
According to Zhu Yu's understanding, the cost-effectiveness of this treasure hunt is really not high.
But he soon changed this view.
Early the next morning, the phone rang.
George's.
Zhu Yu was a little strange, but he still picked up.
"What? Someone wants to buy documents and silver coins?"
Zhu Yu didn't expect news from these people so quickly!
George smiled and said:
"Yesterday, someone took a video while watching it, and then posted it on the Internet. Then some knowledgeable people thought that some of these silver coins were rare, and some early banknotes were also rare.
In addition, my friend also thinks that those documents are valuable for research, so he wants to buy them together. "
Zhu Yu's heart moved and he asked:
"Does he have any intention of a price?"
"No, it depends on the specifics."
"Okay, let's make an appointment to meet." Zhu Yu agreed.
Multiple clients are a good thing.
However, Zhu Yu also kept an eye on it and immediately took out the items, took photos and sent them to Smith to inquire about the price.
Smith responded quickly, quoted prices for everything, and finally asked if he could sell it to himself.
Zhu Yu replied that he would consider it, and Smith said that the price could be raised slightly, but it would be limited.
You can still listen to Smith's words, so Zhu Yu has an idea of the value of the things he has on hand.
Do the math, almost a few million dollars.
Apart from a few special silver coins, the most valuable thing turned out to be those letters!
According to Smith, these letters are likely to change the history of the American Civil War!
The history of the United States itself is not very long. The reason why many people write about it is that it covers everything from big to small.
Even the love stories of some famous people will be included.
Now the appearance of these letters is directly linked to the big figures who led the war at that time, and it will inevitably cause an uproar in the academic world!
It’s definitely valuable!
Although it is far less valuable and eye-catching than that declaration, it is still very telling.
Zhu Yu understood it now.
Then we went to a coffee shop that George had made an appointment with.
It's working time now, and there aren't many people in the cafe. It's quite quiet, which is good for talking.
Zhu Yu carried a small bag and entered the coffee shop. A waiter came up and asked if it was Mr. Zhu.
After getting confirmation, the waiter took Zhu Yu to the second floor, where there was a small private room.
George and a white man who looked like a middle-aged handsome uncle were talking about something.
Zhu Yu came in and the two people welcomed him with smiles.
However, Zhu Yu could see that this middle-aged handsome white man was polite, distant, and somewhat contemptuous of him.
Zhu Yu was slightly unhappy, but it was normal for business.
George was quite enthusiastic and introduced Zhu Yu:
"Mr. Zhu, this is Mr. Thun who hopes to purchase and study your harvest yesterday."
He said to Thun again:
"This is Mr. Zhu, a young and promising man in the treasure hunting industry in New York."
Seeing that Thun just smiled and showed no intention of moving, Zhu Yu sat down directly and said before George could order coffee:
"I have brought samples of the things. Mr. Thun has a look at them. If you are interested in buying them, please make an offer."
After speaking, he took out three gold coins, three silver coins, and two pieces of paper information from the bag.
Most of the paper information was covered, leaving only the name on the header and a few sentences.
There are two common versions of gold coins and silver coins, and one rare version, which is relatively representative.
Even Zhu Yu didn't take anything else - George didn't mention it when he introduced it before. Zhu Yu guessed that this person might not be very interested.
Seeing what Zhu Yu put on the table, Thun's eyes lit up!
However, George thought this was more rude and said with a smile:
"Mr. Zhu, let me order you a cup of coffee first, and let's talk while drinking. The coffee beans here are very pure, ground by hand, and very fragrant."
Zhu Yu nodded noncommittally to express his gratitude, and then his eyes fell on Thun.
Thun eagerly took the coins and information and looked at them carefully.
He even rudely tried to tear open the obscured parts of the document, but Zhu Yu immediately reminded him:
"Mr. Thun, don't move! If you can confirm that this is true and plan to buy it, put forward the price, and we can discuss it. It's not too late to move!"
The words were a little dark, but Thun understood that if he didn't plan to buy it, it was best not to touch the covering.
Thun was a little annoyed. After all, he was somewhat famous in the collecting world, but this Chinese boy was so guarded against him?
His eyes turned to George.
George was a little embarrassed. He looked at Zhu Yu, but met Zhu Yu's firm gaze.
Obviously, Zhu Yu was not going to give in.
joke!
You look down on yourself and want to use your own things for nothing? How could such a good thing happen!
George had no choice but to say to Thun:
"You talk, you talk!"
After saying that, he got up and went to order coffee.
Thun wanted to get up and leave, but he was reluctant to part with these things.
After seeing these things in the video yesterday, he already felt their value.
Not just those special coins, but more importantly those documents!
If content that changes history can be extracted from it, his fame will spread throughout the United States!
What a profit this will be!
"Okay, I forgive your rudeness." Thun finally decided to give himself a step down. He said to Zhu Yu, "These gold and silver coins are more valuable, so I plan to acquire them, like this..."
He picked out a special one and said:
"Gold coins are a thousand dollars each, silver coins are like this..."
He took out the special silver coin and said: "Five hundred dollars. Even other ordinary gold coins are three hundred dollars, silver coins are fifty dollars..."
"There are also documents," Thun tapped his fingers on the table, thought for a moment and said, "For ten thousand dollars, how about I package it and buy it?"
At this time, George had already entered the door again. When he saw Thun's expression, "I have given you face by paying this price, it is a gift." George thought, "This is going to be bad!"
When Thun asked himself to contact Zhu Yu today, he had clearly reminded this collector with high ambitions that the other party was not a young man from Haohu Lane.
But Thun still made this mistake!
I hope Zhu Yu can take it for his own sake and be tolerant!
Will Zhu Yu be tolerant?
Obviously impossible!
He simply stood up and put away the things in front of Thun!
