The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

? "Why is it so heavy!"

I almost missed it and almost smashed my own foot!

The employer handed over a rusty tin can as a bodyguard. It wasn't a bomb to play like that. Of course Thomas Jackson followed it subconsciously.

But Jackson didn't even think about the weight of this thing: just a thing about the size of a can of fruit, even if the contents were not missing, it would be a pound or two at most.

But this play style weighs at least seven or eight pounds!

It's like a solid shot.

Jackson's words immediately caught everyone's attention, "Boss, there is something here!"

Speaking of Jackson, he shook the can. "It's not mercury, it's solid."

It is worthy of being a bodyguard, and the possible risk factors should be eliminated first: if there is mercury in it, it will threaten the safety of the employer.

Zhang Nan smiled and said: "I know what is inside from the echo of the detector, there is no danger." He said to Nicole: "Dear Miss Nicole, please uncover this mystery for us and open up the wonderful How about the treasure?"

Nicole glanced at Zhang Nan, "I'm so happy, dear Mr. Allen."

Compare one by one!

Jackson handed the can to Nicole: "This thing is very heavy, Miss Nicole."

In fact, the bodyguards of this club basically have a general guess in their hearts: it is very heavy and solid, and the things there are generally not able to run out of several possibilities.

Taking the knife that LaVine handed over, Nicole carefully removed the rust around the lid of the jar. The bodyguards also watched attentively, without making a single sound.

In fact, they can open this box with a hard twist, but watching the process of opening a can of a beautiful woman, everyone didn't feel too late.

After a while, Nicole finally got the lid off, and when she unscrewed it, she couldn't help exclaiming: "Oh, my God!"

In the summer sun on the seashore, the stacks of gold coins in the tin are shining charmingly!

Nicole hugged Zhang Nan and said excitedly: "Ellen, you are such a magical guy! So lucky, so incredible!"

With that said, he kissed Zhang Nan **** the cheek!

Half a can of gold coins! Although they have not taken it out yet, Nicole and the bodyguards can see the top ones clearly and have recognized that they are the famous "Mo-Gen Gold Coins"!

"Well, guys, today is probably my lucky day. Is there a camera? It's best to record this, although I don't plan to sell these cute little things right away."

If something is dug out on private land in the United States, it belongs to the landowner, but as an "antique", it is better to have a clearer origin, and it can be sold at a high price.

And if it can be determined that it is something from a treasure, the price will even be a little higher than other handed down items, because it will be named "XX Treasure".

Some Western collectors like this one! Moreover, the collection culture of the United States is very different from that of China. Because of the different cultural background and short and poor history, many things that can be sold at high prices in the American collection circle are worthless in the eyes of China's peers!

For example, a 19th century torn jeans with a trademark found in an old warehouse or old mine tunnel in the western United States is basically worthless in the eyes of Chinese collectors and is too dirty when mopping the floor. It can even be sold in the United States. Tens of thousands of dollars!

Similarly, American collectors sometimes find it difficult to understand the hobbies of Chinese collectors: your two big walnuts cost hundreds of thousands of yuan. What are you doing?

There is a camera in the bodyguard's car, which is probably a work requirement.

Anthony Davis, who has been a policeman for almost half his life, is a guest photographer. He knows which photos should be taken as a backup in this situation.

Why did Zhang Nan think of exploring treasures in the newly bought small manor?

In 2014, Zhang Nan saw such a report on the Internet: A couple in Long Island, New York, who did not want to be named, accidentally dug up an ancient gold coin of the century that has been hidden underground for many years in their yard, which is worth up to 1,000. Ten thousand U.S. dollars, this is very likely to be the most valuable batch of ancient gold coins unearthed in the history of the United States.

According to the report, this middle-aged couple living on Long Island took their pet dog for a walk in the yard in February 2013. They accidentally found something under the shadow of an old tree, so they dug out the year. 8 cans of well-preserved gold coins worth 5 dollars, 10 dollars and 20 dollars!

Although the total denomination of these gold coins is only 27,000 US dollars, but because of their very rare, the market price of some gold coins almost reached one million US dollars!

At that time, the Internet did not disclose who the couple was and their specific address, but there were several photos attached: one showed a distinctive eaves, and the other showed several iron cans lined up and placed under the blanket. On a long stone bench beside a shallow hole dug.

Probably the "unwillingness to be named" is just a gimmick of the report, and the confidentiality work is actually not good.

Maybe the couple didn't need to keep secrets at all-this was Zhang Nan's guess when he saw the report.

Now he understands why this is: someone who can own such a mansion really doesn't need to deliberately keep it secret when digging up such a thing.

It is worth the price of this house in 2013.

As for how the couple discovered it? Who buried these gold coins?

Did the dog dig it out? Rebuilt the garden and removed the twenty centimeters of dirt from the top?

Who made the bootleg a few decades ago?

Or the ill-gotten gains of someone earlier...

These questions are actually meaningless to Zhang Nan, he just likes the fascinating gold and the round coins.

When Zhang Nan looked at the house today, he felt that the main building of this small manor seemed familiar and always felt strange. After studying for a while, I combined the distinctive eaves and stone benches with the gold coins on certain pictures in my memory.

It was a coincidence that this incident was not recorded in his cipher book.

I didn’t hesitate to buy a house. I like it here anyway, and I might earn back the purchase price today. Why not?

...

After the photo was taken, the bodyguards looked at the new employer with admiration: There are eight pots of gold coins, absolutely millions!

"Is it so easy for rich people to get money?"

This is not scientific!

With the photo as the bottom, Zhang Nan poured gold coins on an old curtain in the living room of the house and counted them.

There are a total of 1,427 pieces, most of which are 20-dollar "Morgen Gold Coins", which are the same as in the memory.

All the gold coins are well preserved, just like new ones, only some of them are stained with rust and leaking dirt on the surface, but they are bright as soon as they are polished.

According to the year and currency value, most of them are gold coins with a face value of 20 dollars. Among them, the year 1894 has the largest number, with more than 200 coins.

Zhang Nan didn’t clean or wipe the gold coins~www.readwn.com~ and folded the gold coins in a long roll of toilet paper to separate the packaging, and said to Nicole: “Tomorrow, I will contact you and give it to a professional rating agency. The full rating is sealed and transparent. Save it in the box."

The work was done in a short time, and dozens of kilograms of gold coins were put into the small boxes found in the two houses. The bodyguards planned to put the things in the bulletproof car.

It's almost 5 o'clock, and the janitor is coming back soon.

Zhang Nan took out four 1894 Mo-Gen gold coins with a face value of 20 dollars from his pocket, and gave one to each of the four bodyguards.

"Good luck today, one by one to play."

Jackson and others did not refuse. This can be regarded as a bonus given by the employer: such a well-preserved gold coin with a face value of US dollars would be estimated to be worth between US dollars.

Arriving in the car, after waiting for the car to start, Nicole looked at the two boxes under her feet and said, "No, why don't you have my share?"

As soon as Zhang Nan heard this, I don’t know if he thought of the two kisses in the afternoon--this would look at Nicole’s stunned portrait thinking about how the gold coins didn’t belong to her. He stretched out his arm and hugged the beautiful woman and kissed it. ……(To be continued.)
