Rebirth 13, starting from the big demolition treasure hunt

While looking at these items, Wu Yuansheng also estimated the prices in his mind.

Although the two pottery jars and basins are old, they are not valuable. The three of them combined are about the same value as the Longquan kiln celadon jar.

Putting them all together, even if they were sold by themselves, they would only cost 2000 yuan at most.

Old stone tools: a pair of lions, a stone turtle, a horse tether, and a pair of stone locks. The value of these items is almost 2000 yuan.

The value of the stone tablet is higher. The handwriting and patterns on it are very good and can be sold as rubbings. This can basically be sold for more than 5000.

The porcelain in the cabinet, the two jars and the bowl should be fine for 6000 yuan. There are about 20 others, all very ordinary, worth at most 3000 yuan.

The value of metal items, such as bronze swords, copper pots, bronze mirrors, iron weights, etc., are relatively valuable compared to other items. Add in oil lamps and cannon shell casings, and the total price will definitely exceed 10,000.

After a rough calculation, these items cost almost 3 yuan.

But if he buys it, even if he doesn't make half the profit, he can only get 2 at most.

"Boss Li, didn't you find anything like copper coins, copper dollars, silver dollars, or silver ingots?

Wu Yuansheng asked him after looking at the items on the floor, walls and cabinets he mentioned. No coins were found.

Those who work with excavators also know how to pick up things. No matter what, they can always pick up some.

"I haven't picked up many of them. There are no detectors, and the coins are very small. It is usually difficult to find them unless you dig into the hoard. I picked up a few coins before, but after a long time, I don't know where they were put."

After hearing him ask this question and looking at his confused look, Boss Li said.

"Then let's discuss the price of these things of yours!"

Since he didn't have any coins, he didn't intend to waste time.

Next, he asked Boss Li to find paper and pen, and began to discuss the prices one by one according to the items placed on the pile.

Maybe he didn't understand, but when negotiating the price, Boss Li felt that those old pottery jars were more valuable than porcelain.

Wu Yuansheng said he would pay 300 to 400 yuan each, but he didn't believe it and said he wouldn't sell it and wanted to keep it.

He didn't argue about this. It was better not to buy it than to buy it. It would become clear to him when he came into contact with antiques more in the future.

He was very talkative about those porcelains and thought they were of a recent age.

After all, no matter who's home, they use porcelain now.

Among the bronze items, Boss Li’s asking price for the sword and the copper pot was a bit high (each price exceeded 5000), and he felt that they were the most valuable items.

If the price is too high, he will definitely not buy it.

Since online shopping became available, all types of items, including copperware, have become less valuable as time goes by. Many people are selling them on websites, competing with each other, and the prices are not high.

As for this kind of bronze, he feels that it doesn't matter whether he buys it or not. If he buys it, he keeps it for himself. When he doesn't play with it anymore, he will donate it.

It feels like useless. Many people don’t play these games because they are the most strictly regulated.

It is difficult to prove whether they are ancestral or not.

(Of course, there are basically not many things currently on the market that can indicate a clear provenance.

It's very complicated here, and some things have changed hands countless times. )

In addition, what he thought of was that if he bought other people's bronzes or something in the future, the price would be controlled at around 500 yuan. If it exceeded 1000 yuan, he would definitely not want it.

Because for something like that, the donation price is 500.

Don't think about or expect to make money from such things. No matter how precious they are, the price of 500 yuan has been set.

Of course, if you donate, you can be rewarded with 500 yuan, which is always worth more than selling scrap metal.

If it is not worth 500 yuan, many people may pick it up, smash it directly, take it to the recycling bin and sell it as junk.

After all, the value of many items such as copperware, in terms of the price of metal materials alone, is only a few yuan, dozens of yuan, or one or two hundred yuan.

For the remaining ones, the two agreed on a price of 12000 yuan.

They didn't bring that much cash, and after carrying all their purchases to the car, they went to the bank.

While he was on the road, a recycling man called him and came over to collect his stuff.

Wu Yuansheng didn't have time, so he asked Yi Xiaoyue to go there.

In the past few days, I have been treasure hunting in the river near the temple, which is a bit far away.

Those who called him to sell items in the demolition area, he always asked her to go and buy them.

For more than a year, Yi Xiaoyue has become very familiar with collections and the prices of various items.

Especially the various collections of modern times, she may know better than he does. In jargon, now that she is out of business, she can completely acquire items independently.

The main reason is that he, as the "master", taught her well. He taught her without reservation from the beginning, and there was no such thing as holding back.

"Boss Wu, give me the detector!"

When he arrived at the bank entrance, Boss Li said to him.

If he didn't say it, he almost forgot.

"Okay! I bought the machine last year for more than 2000 yuan. If I give it to you, it will be calculated as 1500 yuan. What do you think?"

Wu Yuansheng thought for a while and said to him.

"Okay, just as you say."

Boss Li agreed without thinking.

I had brought 6000 yuan before, and I had already paid him when I left his house.

Considering that he would have to buy a new metal detector when he returned, and might have to buy other people's things, he withdrew another 1 yuan.

After paying the remaining balance to Boss Li, he went to the bank to deposit it.

Being able to pick up some things from the excavated dirt and sell them for some spare money after work is also an unexpected gain.

Regarding picking up things outdoors, Wu Yuansheng’s personal view is to protect historical and cultural items.

If no one picks up the old objects excavated due to construction in time, they may be damaged when they are backfilled or loaded and transported away.

Of course, picking it up is one thing, but there must also be people who like collecting it to buy it.

If no one wants something you pick up, it will lose its value and no one will pick it up, and you will have to let it fend for itself.

"I just want to go explore the river for a while and try my luck. Maybe with good luck, I can make back the cost of the detector today!"

Boss Li saved the money and said to him after getting into the van.

"Your situation is still a bit small. How much money can you make from the detector? You have to pursue the idea of ​​making a fortune and find the hidden goal!"

Wu Yuansheng started the car and walked towards the temple, joking with him with a smile.

"Haha! It's true that the layout is too small. I hope that I will encounter the situation you mentioned soon. If I find the cellar, I will ask a master to help me dig the machine! I will hunt for treasure every day!"

From what he said, it sounded like he had found something and wanted to change his career.

Passing by a hardware store, he stopped the car and Boss Li went to buy a small pickaxe and a small shovel.

…………

It was only about 3 o'clock when we arrived at the temple.

Because Boss Li bought the detector, he went to the river to hunt for treasures with great interest.

Wu Yuansheng did not have a detector to use now, but he was not idle either. There were porcelain pieces in the mounds of dirt here. He picked up a shovel and a small pickaxe and pulled up the mounds of dirt.

If there is something in the car, he will definitely not go far.

At about five o'clock, after Yang Tantou came over, the two of them got into the van and returned together.
