Rebirth 13, starting from the big demolition treasure hunt

Chapter 104 Iron money, do you want it?
Most of the mounds here are loess.

Loess piles are generally devoid of anything, only soil that is dark in color, has been "eroded" or has traces of life, and the probability of something appearing is high.

You can tell what's going on inside by the color of the soil.

This is similar to archaeology, which uses the soil quality underground to determine whether there are ancient tombs underneath.

In ancient tomb robberies, whether they were official or private, professionals could analyze the general condition of the tomb based on the color of the soil.

Of course, there is not necessarily nothing in the loess. If rich people in the past secretly buried some things somewhere, it might be a remote loess area.

For Wu Yuansheng himself, he must first look for those layers of soil where valuable items may be found!
If you don't look for the good soil first when you come, and someone comes later and picks up the good stuff, you will be the one who suffers.

He certainly won't let this happen!
After scanning it, he soon discovered a pile of black soil not far away with bricks on it.

Without hesitation, Wu Yuansheng walked over directly.

Although he didn't bring a detector with him when he came here just now, he was not empty-handed. He still had the small pickaxe he needed handy.

Without this thing, it would be difficult for you to pick up things that are in contact with the ground or items that are partially buried in the soil with your hands.

When he arrived at the black mound with bricks, the first thing he looked at was the bricks on the surface.

For him, picking up a few more good bricks is definitely worth much more than detecting some ordinary copper coins!
Although the bricks are large bricks, there are no patterns on the surface. If you look closely, they are a little thinner than the bricks from the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

This brick was not the brick from that time. Knowing this situation, he was a little disappointed!
But he soon adjusted his mentality. How could he be so lucky? He would just find that kind of brick when he came. If there were too many of that kind of bricks, they would be worthless!
Since the bricks were not from that era, he stopped looking at the bricks and started looking for other things on the surface of the mound.

Looking over the surface of the pile of soil, he only found a small, somewhat incomplete tea cup.

Of course, there were also some small fragments of pottery and some broken tiles. These were of no value and he did not ask for them.

After seeing this black mound, he went to another mound that was also black soil.

There are also bricks on this pile of soil. The bricks are similar to the bricks in the previous pile of soil. They are not patterned bricks.

However, there are fewer bricks in this pile of soil, and there are more ceramic fragments distributed on the surface.

After searching around it, he found a small ceramic plate from Yuezhou Kiln with a slight gap.

The so-called Yuezhou kiln is also one of the ancient porcelain kilns. It is located in Hunan Province and has a long history.

Mainly firing some celadon series daily necessities.

This small plate is made of celadon, with patterns carved on it.

In addition to this somewhat incomplete small plate, he found several more tea cups, and this time one of them was complete.

Ancient people liked to drink tea and fight with each other.

The tea cups used in Doucha are generally darker or darker in color, so that you can see the foam in the tea during the process of pouring the tea and judge the quality of the tea!
This complete tea cup is sauce-colored, but a bit yellowish.

The dyes used for making porcelain in ancient times are certainly not as pure as modern chemical dyes, and many of the colors of fired ceramics are not so uniform.

Although I didn't pick up bricks, I was able to pick up a complete small tea cup and a slightly chipped small porcelain plate, which was still a reward.

Wu Yuansheng took these two things and a few other ceramic remnants onto the tricycle.

He wrapped the tea cup and the small plate in the newspapers he brought, put them in the iron box and locked them, and then went to search for other black soil piles.

While he was looking for another black mound, someone came over. It was a man who looked to be in his 60s.

This person must be a nearby resident. He is pushing a human-powered tricycle and is probably going to the dirt yard to pick up iron.I didn't pay attention to this person, everyone picked up their own.

When he came to another pile of black soil, he continued to examine it.

There are many bricks in this pile of soil. It may be that nothing was found on the surface when digging.

Generally, wherever there is something, it must be underneath.

The pile of soil where the tea cup and small porcelain plate were found just now should be the layer of soil underneath.

After searching for the other piles of black soil, he planned to take out the detector to detect it. If nothing else, he would probably find a few copper coins!

He originally thought that the piles of black soil should be in the same place as the previous piles of soil, but when he went over to take a look, he found that they were not in the same place.

The bricks on the surface of the mound appear to be Han bricks, and half of the extra large bricks are exposed outside the mound.

This brick is more than a foot wide and more than ten centimeters thick. As for the length, the exposed part is about twenty centimeters.

Seeing this big brick, he quickly walked over and gently touched the soil on the surface of the brick with his hand. He found that there was no pattern on the back.

I briefly cleaned the soil on the other brick surface and found that there was a pattern. The pattern was divided into several areas, and it looked like there were figures, flowers, and geometric patterns.

He moved the brick with his hands and it was easily lifted.

The bricks were not complete. It looked like only half of them were broken. Judging from the broken parts, they were newly broken, as if they had been broken by an excavator.

Such a thick brick would definitely not be the one he broke just now. Someone who can break such a brick must have at least a strength of more than a thousand kilograms from the side.

I searched the surface of the mound but couldn't find the other half. I don't know if it was covered in this pile of soil or in other mounds.

Although he didn't find the other half of the bricks, he found two more tiles.

One piece looks like a seal character, and the other piece looks like an animal face pattern.

There were also some pottery fragments on the mound, but he did not pick them up. Although these pottery fragments were old, they were not valuable.

There are also some smaller bricks, but they either have no patterns or just simple geometric patterns, which don’t look good!
There are fragments of pottery, and there should also be metal objects such as copper coins in this pile of soil.

After looking at the mound for a while, he would definitely use a metal detector to detect it.

Putting the tile on the brick surface, he picked up the half brick and walked towards the tricycle.

When he got there, he wrapped the bricks and tiles in newspapers and put them in the iron box.

"Young man, I just saw you move something onto the car. It didn't look like iron. What was it you moved?"

As he was walking towards another black mound, the man in his 60s met him and asked him.

This person did see him move things over just now.

"It's just half a broken brick, but it has a pattern on it. I'm a collector, so I took it back and kept it."

There is nothing to hide here. There are so many bricks in the dirt yard that anyone who wants them can pick them up.

"That brick looks quite big. You said you are a collector. Do you want the iron money?"
