Chapter 1123: The Wishing Fountain 800 Years Ago
The coin cellar was dug up in the northeast corner of the site, and before it was there, a project manager in his forties came up to talk about the discovery.
When it came to digging an enclosed fire pool, the excavator shoveled off the loess layer that was almost three meters deep at the top, and found that the bottom was a layer of black mud with a dark and fine soil similar to river silt.
This is uncommon, but it is not unusual, as is the case with many rivers and lakes.
What is strange is that this black soil layer is not a large one, nor is it a long one, and when it is thoroughly excavated, it is found to be a place about 5 meters long and wide.
The construction staff of the command is more careful and responsible, and the project manager said the special situation here, and also looked at the situation from the foundation pit, so as not to have problems with the foundation: the silt is too loose, the depth of the fire pool is three meters to hang zero is enough, if you directly lay the primer concrete on the silt layer is afraid that the strength of the foundation is not enough, let the excavator bucket continue to dig, and intend to shovel away the silt and replace it with the loess excavated on the upper layer.
The excavation found that the silt layer was almost two meters deep, and the situation was not particularly bad, and the amount of work did not increase much, but when the project manager came to check the strength of the silt, a few buckets of black mud were found in the buckets of black mud on the side of the pile.
What is good at the top will be very bad at the bottom.
There is a big boss of the Jiang family who plays antiques, and this front-line project manager is not completely blind to cultural relics now, and found that many of the ancient coins are relatively rare ancient coins of the Jin Dynasty, and immediately shouted to stop!
Except for the excavator driver, two old workers and the construction worker, everyone else stayed away and stood aside!
Are the ancient coins of the Jin Dynasty very rare?
It is more important to Quanyou, there are not many people who encounter the Jin Dynasty coins without love, but it is not very unusual for people who are engaged in engineering, especially now that the ancient money in the mud is not more than a cave pile, even if you want to collect these ancient money, you don't need to stop work, and after digging out, the 50 cubic meters of silt pile is slowly rummaged through.
The reason why the project manager would rather delay the construction period than call it off is that most of the surfaces of the coins found are dazzling gold or blue, blue is common, but about half of the gold surface coins are like a thick layer of gold!
Money?!
That's amazing!
Of course, the project manager knew the preferences of the owner of the construction site, and immediately let people guard it, and no one was allowed to move, and after calling the general manager of the company, the matter immediately reached Jiang Aihua's ears.
Newspaper, report to the document management department?
If it doesn't exist, if it's really a lot of money, if you don't keep it confidential, then you, the project manager, will be doomed.
The Dading Tongbao that Zhang Nan got in his hand just now is golden on the surface, but he doesn't have many special feelings: 5 years ago, a person dug up the Chunhua ingots and Buddha statues in the underground palace of the Taiding Pagoda in Wutai Mountain, and the money is almost a hundred catties, not to mention the countless gold he has seen over the years, and he is immune to this kind of coins with a golden surface.
Guan Xingquan and Zhang Nan have the same attitude, he has long since lost his feelings about gold, but Jiang Aihua feels strange, and asks if the money is golden.
The golden substance is so thick that it feels like you can pry off a layer with a knife.
A foreman would stare at two workers cleaning up the pile of mud that had been dug up, with a small pile of sorted coins on the side, and a middle-aged woman in the kitchen of the shack was cleaning with a bucket.
Zhang Nan went over to take a look, and after a light clean water cleaning, he bent the mud on the top of the table, obviously someone told him how to wash it, and even the brush was useless.
I casually rummaged through the small pile of coins that had been cleaned, and got up and said to a few people on the side: "This is not a cellar, it is difficult to say whether the golden thing on the top layer is gold or not, it may or may not be an ancient gold craftsmanship."
By the way, Ye Ming, how did you get the mud gold?"
If it was a coin cellar, then he would be interested to go down and have a look.
But it's a mud pit, and judging by the density of the coins, it's not a common cache at all, but more like an ancient trevi fountain.
When I wanted to enter the construction site, I deliberately changed into a pair of jeans and sneakers before I came, but this is the case, and I don't have the idea of doing it myself.
Such a discovery will not have that wonderful feeling at all, the ancients are not hiding money, this is littering, if you are not careful to go into the pit, you will become a mud monkey.
It's not the same time as it used to be, it's lazy.
When Weng Yeming heard that his brother-in-law had tested him, he was glad that he knew this, and said: "First make the gold into pieces and put it in a crucible, heat it to more than 400 degrees Celsius, and then add mercury equivalent to about seven times the weight of gold, and heat it all the time to dissolve the mixture into a liquid, which is mud gold, and it can be hung on the surface of the utensils when it is used." ”
Needless to say, this craft sounds highly toxic, and the craftsmen who play this are estimated to be short-lived—inhaling mercury vapor is obviously a chronic suicide.
When Jiang Aihua heard this, everyone shuddered!
"It's worthless. ”
Zhang Nan smiled, didn't say if it was worth it, and said: "This batch of coins itself is good, just in this small pile there are Dading Tongbao, Taihe Heavy Treasure, Daguan Tongbao, this Dading Tongbao is still 'orthography, Shangyou, big characters, Shangshen, Xiayou, Xiashen' several kinds, I also saw one of the Shuntian ingots made by Shi Siming in the Tang Dynasty's Anshi Rebellion."
Yes, the variety is rare, especially the money of the Northern Song Dynasty is not as much as that of the Jin Dynasty, and there is also a 'natal star official' of the winning money, and the variety is rich enough.
These money products are good like pulp, and Dading Tongbao has no traces of circulation, so you can keep it if you like.
It's just..."
Pointing to the big foundation pit, "You have to find someone to clean it up slowly, I think the money is basically at the bottom of the silt, you can want to remove the upper layer of silt, so that the cleaning speed will be much faster."
Regardless of why the money is here, there is a story that is very suitable for this environment, and if you take a few photos, you can say that this is a 'blessing pit'. ”
Jiang Aihua didn't know what a "blessing pit" was, but Weng Yeming said to his friend with a smile: "You just said that this is the site of a Jin Dynasty temple, and there should be a big pool in the temple.
Understood?"
Well, if you don't know Jiang Aihua anymore, it's a mallet: looking at the size of the silt field, it seems that this guess is basically the same, even 800 years ago.
There are a lot of exquisite coins of the Jin Dynasty, and there is a layer of golden "clothes", coupled with the concept of praying for blessings and auspiciousness, the recognition of this batch of "cellars" will naturally increase in the future.
As soon as the awareness is high, the price will naturally soar, even if you don't care about the fact that it is not a particularly high monetary value, bragging and giving away people seem to have face, right?
Many antiques will have a story, depending on how you make it up.
