The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

phone-reading

Guan Xingquan and the others had opened a few crates before. The three boxes to the west were all 1 kilograms of gold bars from the German Reichsbank. The boxes inside looked similar in size, not particularly large. Mobile terminal

There are four boxes in the east that have been pried open. Except for the remaining half box of "Goddess of Cloud", the other three boxes of gold coins are all mixed, and the weight of each box is 20 kilograms zero.

Zhang Nan flipped through it. There were dozens of ducats from various countries that began to be minted in the European century, which was dazzling.

The small ones are as big as cents, and there are many varieties because "ducketts" have been minted in many European countries. This is a gold coin with the function of a trading currency — no matter what the country is minted and the pattern, every ducati They are all 3.4909 grams of gold with a purity of 98.6%, which can produce 1, 2, 3... and more digits of "Duckett" during casting, which is very convenient for trading.

The three people looked through together and recognized the countries where the casting was Austria-Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Denmark, Germany, pre-unification German states, Italy, pre-unification Italian kingdoms, papal-imperial states, Holland, Poland, Romania, Tsarist Russia, Scotland, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Switzerland before unification, Yugoslavia...

The "Duckett" gold coins of the Austro-Hungarian Empire have 2, 3, 4, and 6 denominations.

There are also 100 krona gold coins of the Austro-Hungarian Empire at the beginning of the 20th century, the Dutch 10 guilders "Wilhelmina" at the same time, the Austro-Hungarian Empire Franz-Joseph I statue of 20 krona, 8 florin...

There are even a few classic 1907 Austro-Hungarian Empire 100 crowns coronation commemorative gold coin. This is a good thing. It can be regarded as another divine work in the history of coinage in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The other is the "Goddess of Clouds": the outer ring and the inner ring. Circle matte has a strong visual impact on it.

For such a gold coin of more than 30 grams, the deep-relief of the oil painting on the back rendered the emperor's coronation scene very magnificent!

In terms of visual effects, the design of this coronation commemorative coin almost reaches the level of a top art commemorative medal.

Seeing that the gold coin is beautiful, Zhang Nan and Guan Xingquan looked carefully, and Xiang Weirong on one side asked, "This thing is very valuable?"

Guan Xingquan was sharing the loot with Zhang Nan, a total of 4, and simply stuffed one into the monitor's hand: "Generally, there are more in the world. This kind of slight flow of about two to three thousand US dollars is beautiful."

Xiang Weirong took it and took a look, handed it back to Guan Xingquan, and said "Oh." He didn't have the habit of collecting silver coins. Seeing that these two guys liked it, he was no longer loved.

This is not the first time I have seen this kind of gold in a carriage, and I have long lost the habit of putting a few souvenirs in my pocket.

There are two of them, just right.

Collecting the collections he likes is fun, otherwise Guan Xingquan has no time to share the spoils with Zhang Nan—the former "Goddess of Cloud" is still beautiful in his eyes as this coronation commemorative coin.

Zhang Nan is not stingy.

I still want to go over it, but someone came over. It was Liu Dong who went to check the condition of the large items in the front compartment.

"Boss, there are a few large boxes in Car 5, which may be a little troublesome."

Car No. 5, the row from west to east, is temporarily numbered.

At this time, a few people stopped flipping through the gold coins, so get out of the car to see.

When I got to carriage No. 5, I climbed up and saw that the boxes here were relatively large, some of which were still picture frames wrapped in kraft paper, but if they were vertical, they could still fit into the ventilation shaft.

The problem is the large wooden boxes—of course, the vertical size is less than one meter, but the boxes are difficult to carry nearly vertically, and Liu Dong said just now that the boxes are quite heavy.

Can you move it? Let's open it!

As soon as the first box opened, he breathed a sigh of relief: the inside was divided into six small wooden boxes, one of which had not yet been nailed down.

Open the cover, there is a tall cup with a gorgeous appearance wrapped in cotton cloth.

Zhang Nan took out the cup and saw that it was a sacrament cup, about 30 cm high, and very heavy in his hand. The main material was obviously gold.

The body of the cup and the base are inlaid with religious paintings of enamel on all four sides, and the whole body is inlaid with turquoise, red gemstones, topaz, amethyst, and various reliefs. The craftsmanship is likely to be a product from the end of the 17th century or the beginning of the 18th century.

Put the cup back into the small wooden box and don't look at what the other small boxes contain for the time being, as long as the size is not large.

After the second big box was pried open, it was found that the inside was also divided into multiple small boxes, which was not a problem.

But there was a problem with the third box. After prying it open, I saw that it was filled with a large piece of cloth. It was red and very thick. It was also packed firmly. It can be seen that the person who packed the box was very sensitive to the contents of the box. Heart.

Pulling the big red cloth out of the side carefully, a house appeared in front of him.

It looks like a house!

The two-story spire house with gold as the main material is full of high-relief figures of various colors, detailed metal inlays, inlaid gems of various colors, hollow carving and welding...

The length is about 80 cm, the height can be 60 cm, and the width is about 50 cm. Viewed from the top and side wings, this is a super large jewelry box!

what?

Zhang Nan couldn't say anything at all. Paul on the side looked at the research meeting and said, "This seems to be a reliquary~www.readwn.com~ in the church?"

Hearing Zhang Nan's question, Paul said: "It should be, there should be some holy relics in it."

I didn't try to open it. I have no experience with this kind of box. Several people tried to lift the wooden box first, which should have exceeded 100 kilograms.

What about this big box?

The wooden packing box on the outside is very thick, unless it is erected, otherwise it may get stuck in the aisle. You can't leave it here regardless, God knows what the origin of this box is; and you can't drag it upright, so the inlaid gems, reliefs and hollow ornaments on the flanks will be reimbursed a lot and can only be shipped bottom-down.

After taking the ruler and measuring it for a while, I just figured out a way-to get it a temporary packing box with a smaller outer size, stuff it into the ventilation shaft, and then pull the box forward. At the same time, there must be two guys on the side of the box, and when the box goes around, put smooth wooden boards on the outside of the steel steps to prevent the box from getting stuck.

No people can be left under the box, the wooden board will fall down, not to mention, if the box falls down, it will kill people!

Do it!

Here comes the question-what board to use?

Zhang Nan couldn't help this. "Go buy a finished wooden floor slat that is more than 100 meters long. It is strong and has a smooth surface. When you pull it, you can put it in a single and double cross mode."

Okay, people buy wooden floors by the square, which will count the meters.

The buddy immediately contacted the head and asked them to go a bit farther to go to the big city to purchase. However, after the buddy in charge figured out that he was going to pull the bulky items, a sentence made the boss Zhang Nan change his mind.

You don’t need a floor, but use a wall panel. A piece of solid wood smooth surface material can be several meters long, and it will be much more convenient and trouble-free to operate.

More importantly: it is calculated by the meter.
