I Am a Nobleman in England

Chapter 122 Unprecedented scale

Another severely bent and deformed golden cross. . . This should be part of an ancient helmet. . . . . . "

Arthur sat at the bottom of the pit and took out one by one from the treasure chest whose main body was still buried in the soil. The number of treasures and the general characteristics of each item are recorded with paper and pen.

When the treasure was dug, Arthur was indeed both shocked and amazed by the scale of gold products piled up in the treasure chest. However, as the treasures were slowly cleaned out, Arthur's mood was not so excited and excited.

Although he couldn't identify many gold products, had never seen them, or even heard of them, he knew that they were carefully cut, polished, inlaid and crafted by craftsmen when he saw the patterns and gemstones on them.

But most of the 'objects' have long been out of shape, such as a gold cup, which is completely squeezed and distorted. Moreover, most of these gold products are fragmentary objects, such as the protective cap of the sword head inlaid with gems, and the hilt plate They are decorations on some weapons and other utensils.

What is even more speechless is that some gold ornaments inlaid with precious stones seem to have been ripped off from some utensils. The most are such gold skins and gold flakes. . .

However, it has to be said that the craftsmanship of this batch of gold and silver treasures is at its peak, and almost every piece has carved or pressed patterns. Luxurious effect, stunning.

"These artifacts should belong to the nobles or royal families and other elites at that time, and they are likely to be spoils of war..." the butler Paul who was recording said to Arthur holding a crooked long strip of gold inlaid with precious stones.

"But, if I remember correctly, Thomas Boleyn is not a soldier?" Although Arthur consulted a large number of family notes for writing "Boleyn Manor", he mainly read the notes focused on World War I and World War II , Earlier, he just browsed through it in general.

"However, Earl Thomas' father, Lord Henster, was the general of Richard the Lionheart I in the Third Crusade. He followed the Lionheart King to fight against France, because the Lionheart King died, and with the Lionheart King His coffin returned to England, but he died of illness before the Earl Conferment Ceremony could be held urgently, so Thomas Boleyn succeeded as the first Earl of Boleyn."

Listening to the housekeeper Paul's detailed description of the origin of the Boleyn family, Andy couldn't help but twitched his lips, and said with a smile: "Well, it seems that my ancestors got it in a battle, or it may be a long-term treasure. The collections accumulated during the military career.

Ancestors bless, God bless, let me "be guided by others" in the dark, and walk to the location of the treasure. To discover such a great fortune,

It is indeed somewhat "unbelievable". "

"Hehe, the main reason is that you have this heart and persist in searching. Back then, your father and I only searched for a few days, and then no longer had any interest in continuing. It is hard to imagine that if your father knew that we had found the first generation How happy and excited will the treasure left by Earl Boleyn be..."

As he said that, Paul the housekeeper couldn't help but began to talk about Arthur's dead cheap father, and seemed to be in memory.

Arthur looked at Paul's expression, and the corners of his mouth twitched unnaturally. It wasn't because he was dirty in his heart, but sometimes, he really felt that Paul "missed" his cheap father too much.

cough cough. . .

"How many pieces in total?"

Afraid to continue thinking about it, Arthur asked, distracting his dirty thoughts.

"550 pieces of gold, 430 pieces of silver, and 110 pieces of copper." The housekeeper Paul looked down and recorded the report.

Arthur nodded, looked at the small pile of gold and silver ornaments left in the treasure chest, and said with a smile: "It seems that we are going to miss lunch time, these gold and silver are not much in terms of real value, and now we need See what age they are and what research value they have."

"These things are historical relics, and their value is absolutely extraordinary. Once they are reported, they will inevitably attract a large number of experts in archaeology and cultural relics, as well as people from major museums. LORD, you have to be mentally prepared in advance. They Definitely a bunch of lip service experts who will persuade you to hand over this treasure to the government or sell it to a museum.

This is the most precious legacy belonging to the Boleyn family. It is of great significance to the Boleyn family, and it must not be left out! "Paul looked at Arthur with a serious and dignified look, his eyes were burning, and he advised.

"Of course, you can rest assured that I am not short of money now, am I?" Arthur nodded and smiled, and then sneered, "Hehe, besides, why should I hand in my things? What are I thinking? !"

Arthur didn't have such a high consciousness, but he had to face security issues if he kept it in his own hands. Thinking of this, he said to Paul: "To preserve these golden cultural relics, we have to spend a lot of money to properly protect them. Keep it, and if these things are really valuable, we will be really busy!"

The housekeeper Paul also nodded in agreement, and he was still thinking about another problem, that is, the restoration of these gold and silver cultural relics will be another major trouble, and it can't just exist in a crooked way all the time.

"Don't think about that for now. We want to clean up all the things, and then find an expert to take a look, identify them, and date these cultural relics. We generally know that the value of these is almost the same." Arthur shook his head and said, He continued to reach out and picked up a gold ring inlaid with rubies from the treasure chest. Looking at the exquisite pattern on the gold ring, he was looking forward to the origin of these things more and more.

When the treasure chest that was still buried deep in the soil bottomed out and was emptied, Arthur exhaled a foul breath, stood up, stretched his somewhat stiff waist, "Finally finished——"

"680 pieces of gold, with a total weight of about 5 kilograms, and 530 pieces of silver, weighing more than 1 kilogram. In addition, he also found some copper products, etc., a total of 1,345 cultural relics. This may be given in recent years, The largest archaeological discovery in British history has been made..."

The butler Paul also finished the recording, stood up and moved his wrist and body, and said with emotion from the bottom of his heart.

"Hehe, now Boleyn Manor doesn't want to be famous, and your wish will come true soon." Arthur teased the butler Paul.

"Hehe." The butler Paul twitched his lips, shook his head and smiled wryly: "That was before, what your father and I hoped most was to get Boleyn Manor to come forward and then do tourism development.

But now, it's a different story, you're about to be a billionaire, and how can you develop the estate into a tourist attraction, and then fame becomes a problem. "

"That can't be helped. We must report it within 14 days, otherwise there will be trouble, and once it is reported, the news will not be hidden. How can those media miss this kind of explosive news? For a period of time in the future, we have I'm bored!" Arthur smiled helplessly.

"I will contact the security company tomorrow and hire four security personnel. In addition to protecting your personal safety, it is to ensure the safety of our manor."

"Well, you really can't relax on security!" Arthur also squinted his eyes and said, once a person has money, he will cherish his life even more. No one hopes that if the money is gone, what's the point of earning a golden mountain? use?

"I'm checking to see if I missed anything."

Saying that, Arthur stretched out his hand and easily split the wood of the treasure chest, and pulled those rusty iron hoops. Arthur pulled hard to get those iron hoops off, then picked up the metal detector, and continued to search the treasure chest. Look around for fish that slip through the net.

However, after a careful inspection, the detector showed no response, "Hehe, it seems that I'm a bit greedy. I have these, and I hope to find them again..." Arthur shook his head and smiled self-deprecatingly.
