Starting My Treasure Hunting In England

Offshore near the east coast of Newfoundland, on the water shrouded in the orange-red sunlight that had just risen, the bow of a fishing boat broke through the dark blue water, stirring up strips of white waves on both sides of the ship's side.

Watch as the ship gets closer to its destination. Little Rubsson on the bridge glanced at the speed on the screen, hesitated for a moment and finally decided not to speed up just to be on the safe side.

After all, although the shorter the flight time is, the better, but safety is obviously more important than speed. Considering that the ship is now sailing close to the coastline, if the ship speed is too fast and encounters any undercurrent, it may not be able to react at all.

Because the sailors were all experienced sailors, the next few hours of sailing were quite pleasant. Finally, around 4 p.m., they arrived not far from their destination.

"Having a boat like this makes traveling a lot more convenient." Fan Meng patted the railing on the boat and said as he looked at the not-so-distant destination on the GPS navigation. "When can we have such a boat?"

"That will probably take a long time." Liang En thought for a moment and said.

"For us, if we really want a boat, it must be one that can run international routes and have underwater salvage capabilities. Otherwise, it will definitely not be as convenient as other means of transportation."

"And such a boat, even with basic functions, costs three to five million pounds at its cheapest. At the same time, the cost of maintaining such a boat will not be less than one million pounds per year. Therefore, we will definitely not be able to afford it in the short term."

"To be precise, even if you can afford it, you can't afford it." Liang En shrugged, "This kind of private ship is as big a gold-swallowing beast as an ancient castle. You really can't afford it without a certain amount of capital."

"And if you want to conduct underwater salvage, the cost of each salvage will be from several million to tens of millions of dollars, and you may not be able to find what you are looking for. So don't think about this kind of thing before you have a net worth of hundreds of millions."

"Gentlemen, look east!" Just as Liang En and Fan Meng were discussing matters related to the ship, a voice suddenly came from the bridge.

"Oh my god!" After hearing what Little Robuchon said, Liang En immediately turned his head and looked eastward, only to see a huge tail suddenly sticking out of the sea, and then slapping on the sea to stir up a cloud of water.

Soon, two huge black figures emerged from the water nearby, and then let out a cry. At the same time, a stream of water sprayed out from those black figures, and then fell on the sea like raindrops.

There are whale pods around Newfoundland. It's just that because of the huge size of these animals and their aversion to noise caused by various human activities, they rarely come so close to the shore.

Although we don't know why these whales appear in this place, their appearance is a very good sign for Liang En and the others.

Therefore, when the rubber boat was lowered, both Liang En and the others who were preparing to land and the crew members who stayed on the boat all showed excited expressions.

"I think we might actually be able to find the legendary Vinland in this place." When the rubber boat was put on the sea again, little Robuchon said standing on the side of the boat.

"You know among those of us who deal with the sea all day long, encountering a whale is a very lucky symbol. So I think today we might actually be able to fulfill our wish."

Soon, the rubber boat landed with Liang En and the others. After landing, while the crew was carrying supplies, Liang En and the others immediately went to the mounds that looked almost rectangular.

Because in this wasteland, these mounds are the only commanding heights, and it seems that you can have a rough overview of the surrounding situation.

"This place is indeed suitable for human habitation. There is nothing wrong with it except that it is a little cold." After standing on the mound and looking around, Liang En immediately defined this place.

Because he found that there was a very clear river on the left hand side that was flowing into the bay, which could supply the daily life of hundreds of people. On the front is a bay with a shoal, which is more suitable for the Viking longships to enter and dock.

This place is marked on the map as Rancho Ods Pasture, and judging from the green grassy grounds and clear creek, this name is indeed worthy of its name.

"Where should we start looking next?" Fan Meng looked at the land in front of him with a bitter look on his face. In his opinion, this grassland looked no different from the surrounding wilderness, and there was no way to start.

"Let's start the search from the river and go all the way to the hillside." After a brief thought, Liang En made a decision. After all, human settlements are inseparable from water sources, and under normal circumstances humans will choose flat places to build camps.

In fact, when Liang En was writing novels in his previous life, he checked some information about this place and left an impression on it. But now when he ran over and took a look, he realized that the entire area was completely different from the one in the photos.

After thinking carefully, he realized that the rooms in the photos were actually rooms restored by later generations, and the real ruins probably looked no different from the surroundings.

Fortunately, with the advancement of technology, they now have ground-penetrating radar, so they don't have to spend years digging out the target bit by bit like the archaeologists Liang En remembered in his previous life.

"Didn't the epic say that the grass in this place is green in winter? But this place is so far north. It's hard for me to imagine that there is green grass in this place in winter." When coming down from the slope, Fan Meng still had a little bit of green grass. puzzled.

Because whether it is fresh water, berries, salmon in the sea or wood in the woods, this place is quite consistent with the description of the epic, but there are some differences between the grassland and the records.

"But there are tributaries of the North Atlantic Warm Current flowing near this coastline, plus higher temperatures thousands of years ago, so I don't think it's surprising that this place had green grass in winter at that time."

Liang En said while looking at this vibrant grassland.

"And those Vikings didn't come here for charity, so the reason why they chose this place as their foothold was probably because the local environment looked close to the grasslands of their hometown fjord, which made it easier for them to colonize."

Soon, two people were dragging a ground-penetrating radar along both sides of the river to search.

What they didn't expect was that the two people only walked 100m along the river, and when they reached a place about 50m away from the coastline, Liang En made a discovery.

According to the detection results, there is a straight structure made of stones five or six meters away from the river bank and less than 1 meter deep under the grass.

When he called Fan Meng to come and start exploring along the stone wall, the two people soon discovered that there was not just one wall here, but a rectangular structure surrounded by four walls.

"Let's dig a section first." After discovering the first local ruins, Liang En quickly gave the order. Then the two men dug a pit more than 1m deep in the ground, exposing the stone structure below the ground.

"I think there is a high probability that what we found is the remains of the Vikings." After briefly looking at the excavated things, Liang En said with certainty.

Because what appeared in front of him was a wall thirty to forty centimeters wide, with a portion of carbonized wood inside.

This construction method is completely different from the method of building houses by the Indians who have moved in this area, but it is closer to the ancient Viking construction habits.
