Starting My Treasure Hunting In England

After confirming that this thing was a poison filter canister, Liang En and the others threw it into the trash. After all, the output of this kind of thing is too high, and this rusty one is no different from scrap iron.

Next, the two people separated and continued to search the yard, and at this time luck happened to Liang En.

"Silver coin!" Hearing the sound coming from the metal detector, Liang En dug out a standard-sized machine-made silver dollar from the small pit.

The silver dollar had a picture of a king wearing a crown on the front, but when he turned it over, he found that the back had 1 Indian rupee written in English and the Arabic numeral 1917 representing the year.

"What did you find?" Pierce asked, who was carefully exploring the ground on the other side of the yard, because he saw Liang En digging something out of the ground and keeping it in his palm.

"An Indian silver rupee from 1917." Liang En threw the rupee over and said, "The current market price is only about ten pounds, which is not worth much at all."

"But it's always a good start, isn't it?" Pierce said after taking the silver dollar and looking at it for a few times. "Compared to the canister just now, this thing is obviously better than garbage."

In addition to this silver coin, Liang En and the others spent the next hour cleaning out three 1p coins and a tenpence coin used by Britain during World War II from the yard, as well as a military bayonet with only half of it left. .

However, just as the two of them were following the corner of the wall, preparing to detect it once and then enter the room to continue searching, they heard the biggest reaction of the metal detector since coming here near the root of the wall.

"It seems like there should be a big guy down here." Liang Enna said excitedly after gradually expanding the search range of the metal detector, because he could feel that this thing was not much smaller than a schoolbag.

"This thing feels like an ammunition box." After cleaning up the dirt, Liang En frowned. Because this thing is an iron box with a handle on the side, it looks like an ammunition box in historical pictures.

"This is the ammunition box." Pierce said, pointing to a protruding place on the box with his gloved hand, "Don't you see the British War Department mark here?"

"What?" Liang En moved his face closer, and saw a slightly blurry coat of arms on the steel stamped plate. It looked like it should be the emblem of the defunct British War Department.

"We'd better be careful." This badge suddenly made Liang En wary. After all, not all ammunition boxes will be printed with the Army Department badge. Unless the contents of this box were issued directly by the War Department.

But as long as you think about it, you will know that something that can be specially distributed by a country's highest army organization is definitely not too simple, and if it is related to the army, it may even be more dangerous.

"It shouldn't be a booby trap or something that is easily triggered when the lid is opened." Pierce said after thinking for a few seconds.

After all, even if this place was a suburb back then, it should still be not far from the capital, and it wasn't an enemy territory. So those people at that time should not have modified this thing into a dangerous bomb.

Although he said this, after being reminded by Liang En, Pierce naturally became wary. So after digging out half of the box, he simply stayed away, and then used the crowbar he brought with him to open the lid of the tin box.

Perhaps because of the severe rust, the lid fell off the box after being opened, revealing the contents previously stored in the box.

"This thing looks a bit like a can of beef." Looking at the almost rusted cylinders in the box, Pierce said to himself, because the size of this thing did seem to be close to the cans of corned beef distributed by the British army during World War II.

"It's definitely not canned beef." Liang En showed a nervous look on his face, "Because canned beef wouldn't be placed in an iron box with the logo of the Ministry of War on it, and then specially fixed with an iron frame inside."

There are ten cylinders in the box, divided into two rows, with five in each row neatly placed there. In order to fix these cylinders, there is a special iron plate with round holes in the box, just like an enlarged test tube rack.

"What you said makes sense." Liang En's reminder made Pierce's face become serious. Obviously, canned beef does not need to be preserved by so many means.

"Then what should we do next?" Pierce asked in a low voice after carefully looking at the writing box and the contents inside. "You definitely can't bury it back. Otherwise, if this thing is really dangerous, the workers building the house behind will be in trouble."

"It's very simple, just call the police." Liang En said, taking out his mobile phone and pressing 999, and then clearly described the situation he encountered to the other party, focusing on the logo of the Ministry of War on the box and his suspicions. .

Shortly after the police call was hung up, Liang En received a call claiming to be a police officer. During this call, he asked Liang En to take a photo of the metal box and then stay away from the box.

"It seems this thing is really dangerous." After hanging up the phone, Liang En shrugged at Pierce, then retreated with him into the almost empty room and climbed to the second floor. Compared with the outside, this house can obviously provide them with a bunker.

"This house doesn't seem to have been built during World War II -" While waiting for the police to arrive, Liang En carefully observed the room and found that the style of this three-story red brick building was earlier than he thought.

"This place seems to have been an office in London of a regiment of the British Army stationed in Dublin." Pierce frowned and said after thinking for a while.

"Later, after the independence of Ireland, the regiment was disbanded and the office was naturally abandoned. It was not until the Second World War that the place was reactivated."

"No wonder you can see traces of wallpaper here." Liang En looked around the room where he was, then kicked the needle under his feet and said, "It's a pity that this place has been abandoned for too long, otherwise we would definitely have a big harvest this time. .”

"But if this place hadn't been abandoned, you wouldn't have spent 150 pounds to come in." Pierce complained after hearing what Liang En said. "It's a pity that what we have dug out now is not enough to pay for entry here."

Just when Liang En and the others were complaining, a siren sounded at the door. Ten seconds later, Liang En and the others met a policeman with a vigilant look on his face at the door.

"You are the ones who called the police, right?" the policeman asked after watching Liang En and the others come out. After the two people ran around and said that they were indeed the ones who called the police, he asked about the whole process.

"That is to say, you called the police when you saw the metal container inside." After Liang En finished describing the process, the policeman asked.

"Yes, because this place used to be a military facility, and there was also the logo of the Ministry of War on the iron box. So we were worried that the box contained a bomb, so we called the police." Liang En said seriously.

At this time, two people wearing chemical protective suits walked in from the courtyard door, and then cautiously walked towards the iron box.
