Chapter 145 Treasure Hunting in the River (1)



He slept very deeply last night. When he woke up, Huang Zhu looked at the time and saw that it was already eight o'clock.

After washing up, he went to the rental house first, then took a backpack with a detector, a small pickaxe, and a small shovel, and went out.

He planned to go to the river to take a look today. He had basically been wandering around the demolition area in the old city, and he had never been to the river to hunt for treasures.

After stopping by a shop selling steamed buns and having an early breakfast, Huang Xi drove directly to his destination.

The place he wants to go is the river area across the river from the ancient city moat in City X to City F.

This has been a dock since ancient times, a battlefield for attacking the opposite city. In addition, it is in the middle of two bridges. For the stability of the bridge, sand is not allowed to be taken here. If you want to hunt for treasure, this is definitely one of the better places to go.<

/p>

When Huang Zhu arrived at the location near the river, he first found a place where vehicles were guarded and parked the car.

Then he packed the small shovel and small pickaxe in a snakeskin bag, put on his backpack, and walked towards the river beach below with the bag in hand.

Because the water level in the river will not rise until the dam is built in a few years, where he saw now, from the Second Bridge to the First Bridge, and to Yuliang Island, there were large areas of beach.

And it is possible to find "treasures" on these beaches.

After arriving at the beach, Huang Zhuxian took an overall look at the situation on the beach. He found a man who seemed to be digging sand in the distance at the junction with the water's edge. He looked a lot like Yang Daming.

Of course, there are also some other people playing on the beach, walking, or digging in the sand with their children.

Huang Zhu did not open his backpack to assemble the detector. He planned to go first to see if the man digging sand by the water was Yang Daming.

Walking along the beach, he found that occasionally some broken porcelain, pottery, tiles and other things from the past were exposed on the surface of the beach.

Soon, as he got closer, he could clearly see that the man digging the sand was Yang Daming.

"Lao Yang! Yes! You can make a fortune in silence!" Huang Zhu approached and said to him.

"Hey, you're a rare visitor! Why did you end up in this treasured land today?" Yang Daming said.

"I heard there are many treasures in the river. Come here and try your luck." Huang Zhu said.

"Then you start digging quickly, otherwise no matter how lucky you are, it will be useless if you just stand and watch." Yang Daming said.

"That makes sense! Did you dig anything today?" Huang Zhu asked.

"Not yet, I just came here not long ago." Yang Daming said.

"Didn't you say that you have something at home? If you go back at noon, bring it over to me in the afternoon to take a look." Huang Zhu said.

"Okay! I'll go back to eat at noon. I'll bring it over for you to see in the afternoon." Yang Daming said.

"Okay! Then you continue digging here. I'll dig somewhere else." Huang Zhu said.

He found that Yang Daming was only digging for treasure in the most primitive way and did not use high-tech things like detectors.

Huang Zhu found a place about 100 meters away from Yang Daming, also near the water's edge, and began to assemble and debug the detector.

After debugging, he began to scan the river beach with purpose.

Soon, the detector scanned the metal object and made a "didi-dip-dip" sound. He shook the detector back and forth, trying to sense the size and specific location of the objects in the sand below.

Through the response of the detector, Huang Zhu probably knew that the thing below should be a small object.

Taking out the shovel and small pickaxe from the snakeskin bag, Huang Zhu began to dig at the location detected by the detector.

Sand is much easier to dig than soil.

He dug some sand here and spread it on the beach, and then used a detector to scan the excavated sand. Soon, he found that there was a sound in the excavated sand.

Obviously, things have been dug up.

At the place where the sound was sensed, Huang Xiu used a small foreign pickaxe to pick it up twice and found this thing, which was an arrow.

He took the arrow in his hand and looked at it. It was a triangular arrow. This was the most common type in ancient times. The arrowhead was triangular, hard and sharp, and could pierce armor. It was also called an armor-piercing arrow.

Of course, in addition to this kind of arrow, there are many other kinds of arrows, and their functions and effects are different.

For example, the fish-head arrow, an ancient crossbow arrow, was named because the arrowhead resembles a fish head.

This kind of arrow is a modified arrow with ridges and two wings. The arrowhead is thin and sharp, and has the characteristics of a crossbow arrow. The wings are sharp and retracted, which reduces air resistance and allows it to fly farther.

Fired with a crossbow, it is used to shoot long-range targets. It is often used to shoot enemy commanders. If the arrow is hit, it is difficult to pull out, and you will die.

Another example is the crossbow arrow. The arrowhead is wide and thin, extremely sharp, and has different shapes, like a shovel, a knife, or a spear. The shaft of the arrow is very long. It is fired with a crossbow. It is a sharp weapon that breaks the surface and cuts the throat. The arrow has great lethality.

Another example is the Feiyan Arrow, the most powerful arrow in ancient times. It can penetrate into bones and is difficult to pull out, so it is left to die, so it is called "killing arrow".

The arrowhead of this kind of arrow is like a flying swallow, with ridged wings and two pointed wings, forming sharp barbs.

The shape of the Feiyan arrow conforms to aerodynamics, and it can fly far and fast. It can be fired with a crossbow and can kill people if hit.

There are other types, such as those used for hunting. In short, there are many types of arrows.

The arrowhead was in very good condition. Huang Zhu wrapped it in the newspaper in his backpack and put it in a convenient bag inside the backpack.

Picking up the detector, he scanned the pit where the arrow had just been detected and found that there was no sound.

He continued to explore other places.

Soon, the detector made an alarm sound again. He shook the detector back and forth, left and right, to determine the size and specific location of the things below.

Judging from what the detector sensed this time, it was also a small object. After determining the location, Huang Zhu picked up the shovel and the small pickaxe and started digging.

With the cooperation of the detector, he quickly found this small object, which was a copper coin with a square hole.

I took the copper coin in my hand and looked at it. It said "Kaiyuan Tongbao" written on it.

This coin is a very common Tang Dynasty coin.

After putting the coin away, Huang Zhu continued to use the detector to detect it.

After a while, the detector sensed something again and sounded an alarm.

This time, after sensing it from front to back, left and right, and looking at the response of the detector, he found that it was a large item, or a very large item.

Because when he scanned left and right, he found that sounds could be made within a distance of more than one meter. If he scanned back and forth, the detected sounds were not far away.

Huang Zhu picked up a shovel and a small pickaxe and started digging.

This item is buried deeper than the previous small item, but because it is a beach, it is not difficult to dig it out.

Soon, with the blessing of treasure hunting, he dug out some sand on the surface.

A dark stick-shaped object was exposed, but it was not the entire object.

Because this thing fell diagonally into the sand, and it was a bit deep in one place. After digging for a while, water entered the sand, which made it more difficult to dig out.

Huang Zhu took off his shoes again, then went down to the puddle and started digging up the sand inside.

It took more than ten minutes to finally dig up this one-meter-long thing.

When the entire object was exposed, Huang Zhu finally saw what it was. It was an anchor, made of iron, with a lot of rust on the surface.

The anchor was very thick and heavy, with four anchor hooks at the bottom. He tested the weight and found that it weighed fifty or sixty kilograms.

Place the anchor upward and firmly.

"Xiao Huang, yes! I saw you dug up such a big thing for the first time. What a good start!" Yang Daming came over and said. He probably saw Huang Zhu dig out something from a distance, so he did it out of curiosity.

Come and take a look.

"Haha! It's a big thing, but it's just an iron thing and not worth much!" Huang Zhu said.

"That's okay. This thing exists at least 100 years ago, and it's not that rare." Yang Daming said.

"You have been digging for so long and you haven't found anything yet?" Huang Zhu asked him.

"I have been digging in the river for treasure for just over a year. I have found such things before, but they are very small, much smaller than you." Yang Daming said.

"Haha! If you keep digging, you might be able to dig out a bigger one one day." Huang Zhu said.

As he spoke, he cleaned the rust on the surface of the anchor. After cleaning it for a while, he put it into a snakeskin bag.

This iron anchor is an old object after all, and he will definitely not sell it as scrap metal.

"It's hard to say, but I just saw you using something like a minesweeper to sweep here. Is this thing of yours specially designed to hunt for treasure?" Yang Daming asked.

"This! This is a metal detector, used to detect metal. Of course, it can also be used to find some things." Huang Zhu said.

"Then how much does your detector cost?" Yang Daming asked again.

"This is not cheap, why? Do you want to buy one too?" Huang Zhu asked him.

"I'll ask about the price first. If it's cheap, I'll buy one." Yang Daming said.

"Mine costs about 2,000 yuan. Of course, there are cheaper ones, ranging from several hundred yuan." Huang Zhu said.

"Then yours is a bit expensive. Where did you buy it? When it rains, I will have time to buy a cheap one." Yang Daming said.

"Over there in Modern City, if you want to buy it, go see it yourself." Huang Zhu said.

"Okay! Thank you! Be sure to come over in the afternoon, I will bring things over for you to see." Yang Daming said, and after finishing speaking, he walked towards the place where he dug sand.

"Okay! Around two o'clock in the afternoon." Huang Zhu said to him.

After Yang Daming left, Huang Zhu planned to send the anchor back first before coming back. Although the anchor was not valuable, it would not be good to see such a big item when there were so many people soon.

If it is a small item, he can put it directly in the backpack without fear of others knowing.

After putting away the detector, shovel, and small pickaxe, washing his feet and putting on his shoes, Huang Xiu put the snakeskin bag on his shoulders and returned.
