Chapter 74: There Really Is a Hidden Treasure!
Zhu Yu wiped his hands and carefully looked through the information.
An old book with no cover and no name.
There are several photos in the old book, and the protagonist of the photos is a soldier. There are formal photos in formal clothes, and there are also side photos on the battlefield, holding a saber in hand and inspecting the front line.
Zhu Yu took out his mobile phone and checked it. Based on the military uniforms, it was initially estimated that it should be before World War I, that is, at the beginning of the last century, around 1900, or even further back, at the end of the 19th century.
If these photos can find the descendants of this soldier, they should be able to get a reward.
Then, Zhu Yu turned over a piece of paper in the book, with a rough hand-drawn map on it, marking three locations. There were words written under the three locations.
Weapons, gold coins, supplies.
Zhu Yu felt very familiar after seeing it, and immediately took out the black and white photo for comparison.
Soon, based on the terrain in the photo and the location of the main building of the manor, Zhu Yu locked on the three key circled locations, not far in front of the yard, in the current farmland!
Seeing Zhu Yu's movements, Meng Xiaofan and Song Yan both guessed it, and they looked at each other in shock.
Did Zhu Yu really find the treasure?
Zhu Yu put away the book and photos, then reached into the cabinet again, but this time nothing came out.
He told Jason:
"Keep this cabinet. Now take the garbage out of the car and dispose of it."
Then he said to Meng Xiaofan:
"I'll look for it later. If I really find the treasure, please give Mr. George a call and explain. It's best if he can come over and take a look."
After all, he found the treasure, and there were two copies inside that belonged to him.
Meng Xiaofan nodded, already so shocked that he didn't know what to say.
She introduced this job to Zhu Yu, mainly because she found out that most treasure hunters are not as good as imagined, and it is normal to not make money or even lose money.
There are definitely very few people who can make big money!
So this one thousand dollars a day is already considered a very good living.
She really didn't expect that Zhu Yu actually found the treasure map!
This is really an unexpected surprise!
Zhu Yu held the photo in one hand and the piece of paper in the other and walked through the woods to the farmland, comparing them and starting to look for the three points.
Of course, on the surface it was a comparison, but in fact he had already started searching underground with his clairvoyance.
This was the first time Zhu Yu used his heavenly eyes to see things underground.
According to his estimation, if you look directly into the ground like this, you can see almost ten meters deep if it is soil. If it is rock, it may be three to five meters deep.
But enough is enough.
The farmland is very large, and the manor and woods have also undergone great changes. Zhu Yu compared it for a while, but still couldn't determine the location.
Meng Xiaofan and Song Yan had been following him. At this time, seeing Zhu Yu's expression being a little solemn, Meng Xiaofan couldn't help but say:
"Can't find it? Do you need Uncle George to come over and help?"
"That's not necessary." Zhu Yu shook his head, "The location can be roughly determined, but if we need to dig here, we need Mr. George's consent."
Sky Eye's scanning is very convenient. He has already determined the location of a treasure cache. There are two large iron barrels buried more than one meter deep. Inside are eight Winchester M1887 shotguns wrapped tightly in oilcloth.
, and two tightly packed iron boxes of ammunition.
Once the location of one treasure point is determined, it is much easier to calculate the locations of the other two points based on the treasure map.
Zhu Yu first found the location where the gold coins were hidden - after all, gold coins are more attractive than supplies. Besides, after more than a hundred years, who knows if the supplies can still be used?
The treasure hunter did not disappoint Zhu Yu. There were also two iron buckets where the gold coins were hidden - but inside an iron bucket nearly one meter high, there was only an iron box about twenty centimeters square.
There are approximately more than one hundred gold coins and more than two hundred silver coins in the iron box.
It can be regarded as a fortune of no small size.
Zhu Yu had a surprise in his heart, but he didn't show it on the surface.
I found a stick to mark this place, deliberately about half a meter away from the iron barrel, and then looked for the third point.
There are two iron barrels at the third point, and the ones stored in them are actually early iron boxes and cans. It seems that they are not broken yet?
Well, Zhu Yu doesn't know if it's broken or not, but the iron barrel is basically sealed, which can be regarded as cutting off the air, and the can itself is also sealed. Is it possible that it's not broken?
Meng Xiaofan walked over quickly and said:
"Uncle George said, let us dig first, he will be back soon!"
Then dig it!
Zhu Yu found a shovel from the warehouse and started digging.
The first thing to be unearthed were the two iron barrels where the Winchester guns were stored.
When the iron barrels were cleared out, George had already arrived.
Meng Xiaofan and Song Yan were very curious when they saw the iron bucket being dug out.
George was also very surprised when he saw the iron bucket. He laughed and said:
"Zhu, you are a real treasure hunter! I never thought you could find the treasure buried by the original owner of this manor!"
"Then please trouble Mr. George to open it!" Zhu Yu stretched out his hand and handed the crowbar that Jason had taken back to George's hand.
George understood Zhu Yu's kindness and felt that this young man was very good!
Zhu Yu took out his cell phone and took a few photos at the right time while George was prying open the iron bucket.
"Zhu, you are very considerate!" George pried open the iron bucket and did not immediately look at the contents inside. Instead, he said to Zhu Yu: "Please give me a copy of the photo later!"
Zhu Yu's original intention was to commemorate George. After all, he only wanted 20% of the profit, right?
George finished speaking and then began to take things from the bucket.
There were eight well-preserved Winchesters. After George untied the oilcloth and saw them, he was overjoyed:
"I want two! This gun is so exciting! It's rare to see such a well-preserved Winchester!"
This is almost a new gun. Or it is a new gun itself.
The sun had already set in the west. Zhu Yu told George and went to dig the second treasure spot with Jason and others.
Meng Xiaofan and Song Yan followed immediately.
They are not interested in guns, their main interest is in gold coins - women, like dragons, have no resistance to shiny things.
Jason and Malawi dug down almost one meter along the spot marked by Zhu Yu, but found nothing. Zhu Yu, who was clearing the soil with Eli next to him, said:
"Use a shovel to dig in on both sides and have a look."
He said with some regret: "I should have brought a metal detector here if I had known."
Jason obeyed the order and shoveled soil on both sides of the pit, and Malawi also helped.
Soon, Malawi's shovel hit something hard.
The sound of "dang" shocked the hearts of several people above!
There's something!
Jason also heard the sound, immediately turned around, and dug there with Malawi.
Soon, a corner of the iron barrel was exposed.
The people above immediately showed excited expressions! There is an iron bucket, which means the treasure is inside!
The next excavation sped up a lot, and after twenty minutes, the entire iron barrel was taken out.
Zhu Yu and others worked together to lift the iron bucket to the ground, next.
George laughed and said:
“Then it’s time to witness the miracle!”
Chapter completed!
