Rebirth 13, starting from the big demolition treasure hunt

After the two left, Wu Yuansheng turned off the detector, put it on the ground, and followed it to the excavator.

It happened that this driver picked up the Buddha statue. He felt it was quite a coincidence and there was no need to inquire alone.

But it doesn’t matter, because the distance is short, and there are only four garbage trucks transporting garbage, so the chance of one in four is quite high.

"Here! This is the stone!"

As soon as he reached the excavator, the man who excavated it took out the stone Buddha head from the cab and handed it to him.

Taking the Buddha head that was handed to him, he began to watch it.

The Buddha's head is not small, it is as big as the head of an average eight or nine-year-old child.

Its shape is also the shape of Buddha.

The material is bluestone, the head is not very complete, the forehead and chin are somewhat damaged, and there are obvious signs of breakage on the neck.

Judging from the year, it should be the Qing Dynasty period.

"How much is this worth?"

While watching, the excavator master asked him.

"If the face is not damaged, it will definitely be worth seven or eight hundred, and if the body is still there and complete, it will definitely be worth two or three thousand.

The way it is now, if I buy it, I can only sell it for 200 at most. "

Wu Yuansheng thought for a while and then said.

The entire stone statue is complete and is estimated to be about 1.2 meters tall.

"200? Can't you add a little more?"

The man who excavated the machine said again.

"No way! The quality is really bad. If we charge this price, if it's not done well, we might just be able to protect the capital. It's not a high-end product. Besides, there are a lot of complete stone Buddha statues everywhere, and few people would want a broken one. ”

After listening to what he said, the master thought for a while and felt that what he said seemed reasonable. The stone was not as valuable as copper or other metals, so he sold it to him for 200 yuan.

When the two were negotiating the price, the man driving the garbage truck also brought the Buddha statue over.

Seeing that they had completed the transaction, he handed the Buddha statue to Wu Yuansheng and started looking at it.

This Buddha statue is about 25 centimeters high, with a full face, sitting cross-legged on a lotus platform, with one hand on the chest and the other hand, palm up, in front of the abdomen.

Judging from the image, it should be a statue of Guanyin.

Just like the fishing master Cai said, the Buddha statue was broken and there were signs of being smashed.

The broken parts are the fingers on the chest and the lotus throne.

The Buddha statue was so deformed that the lotus platform was almost crowded together.

Looking at the year, it is also the Qing Dynasty.

"How did you discover it?"

Wu Yuansheng asked while watching.

"I was dumping soil and found it when I looked in the rearview mirror! I never thought that such a thing could be dug out in such a broken ground!"

The driver said, still feeling a little strange.

People who are not collectors may not know about historical things, so they are not clear about things from some eras.

"What a pity! It's damaged and has been smashed. See how much you can get for it."

The master driving the garbage truck continued.

As he said this, Wu Yuansheng began to consider the price.

Such a Buddha statue can only be purchased as a remnant. If you find someone to repair it, the cost will definitely not be low. Even if it is repaired, it will not be perfect.

The market price is estimated to be only a few thousand yuan at most, certainly not more than 10,000 yuan.

If it's complete, it's hard to say. When you meet someone you like, the price changes a lot.

"I won't say the price is too low. It can only go up to 2000. If you are willing to sell it, I can buy it."

After thinking about it, he told the price at which he could buy it.

"Okay, 2000, just 2000, take it!"

The master who drove the garbage truck was also a cheerful person and didn't say anything to ask him to increase the price.

After agreeing on the price, Wu Yuansheng paid and took the Buddha statue over.

The three of them chatted for a while, and then the excavator master and the dump truck driver started working.

During this period, he also asked them about some situations and left their phone numbers so that they could contact him if they got something again.

Among the two, the master of the excavator said his surname was Song, and the master who drove the muck truck said his surname was Zhu.

He put the purchased Buddha heads and statues in the van, walked to the detector, and picked up the machine to start working.

After digging out the object with a large range and strong signal that he had previously sensed with a detector, he found it to be a bronze pot.

The pot is of very early age and has complex patterns on its surface, at least before the Han Dynasty.

Unfortunately, it was also damaged artificially. There were obvious signs of being smashed on the surface. The body of the pot was severely deformed and some places were squeezed together.

In addition, there is a large area missing on the pot.

This made him feel that it was a pity. Just like the porcelain pieces, they could only be used as specimens.

It is estimated that in this old slag dump (garbage dump) in this special period, many of the items discovered next will definitely be incomplete.

But there is nothing we can do about it.

In the rest of the afternoon, Wu Yuansheng detected a blond hairpin about four or five meters away from the official kiln porcelain fragments found in the morning.

In other locations, including the place where the dump truck dumped soil, based on the range and strength of the signal, he detected Buddha statues, bronze swords, other bronze utensils and other items.

These are also imperfect.

Among them, there was a pile of dregs containing medicine bottles and other glass products. He also found an old can bottle containing 30 silver dollars.

He picked up a lot of those porcelain fragments by the way, and there was also a fragment of the bottom of a plate, which was also from the official kiln.

It is the official kiln of Qianlong.

Everything else is basically fine quality.

(Garbage dumps in special eras are not real garbage dumps. For some reasons, there are many good things thrown there.)

Time passed quickly during the treasure hunt, and before I knew it, it was dark.

There are no Cui workers at the construction site here, and they don’t work overtime at night.

Wu Yuansheng also didn't plan to come over in the evening. After packing his belongings, he went home.

In the following time, the soil was dug here for another three days.

(This does not mean that the excavation is complete. The construction site is under construction in accordance with the requirements. If we dig deeper and dig to the bottom of the garbage dump, we can still dig out many valuable items.)

Wu Yuansheng would come here every day and scan the large items. After there was no construction, he spent another three or four days scanning all the small items.

In his constant search, he found many more items.

Those yellow and white things can be found every day.

This kind of opportunity may only come once in your life.

But just once is enough.

After all, most of the things he finds here are of great value and may be higher-end than anything found in other dumps.

And he wouldn't be surprised to find anything good in a place like this.

Later it rained. After the heavy rain, Wu Yuansheng went here to search for two days.

(Many items in the garbage dump are not easily discovered unless they are washed away by rain.

Many treasure hunters like to look for things after the rain. )

After being washed away by the rain, he also found many objects, all of which were made of non-metallic materials.

The better ones include a jade pendant, a seal, and a piece of raw turquoise ore.

These three are complete.

The jade pendant is round, with a dragon pattern engraved on the surface. It is made of Hetian white jade and must be from the Ming Dynasty.

The seal is not big, with a square base, about 3 cm in length and 3 cm in height. It is made of Tianhuang stone and has a lion carved on it. It should be an item from the Qing Dynasty.

The turquoise is about the size of a duck egg, and the material is very good. It looks like it has a high degree of porcelain. If you pick up a stone like this, it is worth more than the same weight of gold.

Many other items, including bracelets, cigarette holders, hairpins, etc., were all missing.
