Chapter 454 [Pirate Treasure Harvest]

After seeing Captain Peterson disappear with the Cold Gem, Yang Yong stood on the edge of the first hole. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 Info lit a cigar and looked at several staff members with a grin, using a tripod to carry bags of dirt up, Yang Yong originally thought that after finding these aquamarines, this pirate treasure would be robbed.

It was impossible for anything to appear again, but I didn't expect that a cigar was just halfway through when my friend heard cheers from inside the cave. Because it was too troublesome to go up and down, Yang Yong could only suppress his curiosity and wait quietly at the entrance of the cave, and soon someone would bring up the discovery in the cave. Yang Yong was right, and three minutes later, several staff members who were sticking to the edge of the tripod took a lot of effort to carry a large wooden box.

Yang Yong was surprised that the volume of this wooden box was really exaggerated, and the weight was not light. The tripod with a weight of more than five tons creaked like the tripod's load-bearing system collapsed, and the expensive tripod finally withstood the pressure and carried the large wooden box.

The large wooden box alone was more than 1.5 meters tall, both long and wide, and had a large rusty copper lock on top of it. There are also some microscopic plants that are unique to the seaside growing on the chest, and the iron bars used to protect the boxes are also two centimeters thick, and many of the iron bars have been rusted. But what I didn't expect was that the wood used in the box was very special, not only the wood was thick and heavy, but also the anti-corrosion effect was better than that of white oak, and it was buried in the ground for hundreds of years, and the box did not decay a little bit It is really surprising.

Although the copper lock that locks the box has a history of more than 300 years, it can be regarded as a cultural relic, large and small, and is worth more than 1,000 dollars. But Yang Yong didn't have time to care about the loss of these copper locks, and ordered the staff to take the fire axe and smash the green copper lock. Listening to the sound of the bell, the copper lock broke, and then Yang Yong personally opened the box with a cigar in his mouth and arrogantly, and all he saw was glittering gold jewelry.

At this time, Yang Yong breathed a sigh of relief, and the first unearthed were some Spanish gold coins, Portuguese gold coins, and even British gold coins. Although there are a lot of them, it is impossible for the pirate treasure to store only these gold coins, and where are all the gold, silver and jewels that have been looted? When this big box appeared, the last bit in Yang Yong's heart finally disappeared.

This wooden chest contained some gold and silver jewelry, most of which were gold and silver jewelry, and some other precious utensils. Cutlery made of pure gold, forks, knives, plates, candle holders made of pure gold. The other most common thing is that some women wear gold and silver jewelry, which is stacked in a mess in boxes without the slightest damage, which is also a miracle.

Due to the huge size of the box, the contents are also varied, everything is available and the weight is very heavy. If you pour out the contents of the chest like gold coins, it will take a lot of effort to sort out the gold, silver and jewelry inside the chest. It's not early now, and it's the second half of the night, since everyone is very excited, but after more than ten hours of continuous fighting, even if Smith has good physical strength, he is in a state of exhaustion.

Yang Yong had no choice but to order the box to be locked up again, and then the dirt on the box was rinsed with pure water. Carry the box to the Anna in its entirety, and after a good night's rest, tomorrow we will put the gold, silver and jewelry in order.

After the gold and silver jewelry box was unearthed, Yang Yong repeatedly confirmed that there were only some rocks left in the natural cave. After a medium-sized metal detector carefully probed and found that there were no precious metals left, the excavated sand was backfilled with all kinds of soil intact. Then the five-meter-high pit was restored to its original state, and only then did he return to the resort in front of the deletion with more than 20 tired employees.

After that, I cleaned my hygiene and had a supper with the staff happily. Only then did he go back to the room to rest, and at 10 o'clock the next morning, Yang Yong couldn't stand the heat and got up from the bed, and when he came to the restaurant, all the staff had finished breakfast. Sitting in the living room chatting, playing poker and waiting for Yang Yong's arrival, after eating and drinking, Yang Yong ordered all his belongings to be cleaned up.

The staff who left behind the tail of the ship then got on the speedboat and returned to the Anna, then turned the bow of the ship non-stop and drove along the coastline of the United States all the way to Maine, the base of the Yang family. In the ship's warehouse, Yang Yong took people and began to sort out in detail the harvest of pirate treasures. If you don't tidy up, you don't know, and if you tidy up, you will be shocked, the harvest of pirate treasures is no worse than that of San Francisco and Anna Castle.

Although gold products are not as exaggerated as Indian treasures, they are not too much to count. In particular, the twelve golden guns, although the caliber of the cannons varied, but the weight of the cannons and shells also reached a rather terrifying mark. Preliminary estimates reached the weight of ten tonnes of gold, which of course was not so pure.

It can only reach the 80% level, which is also a helpless thing, and the smelting level hundreds of years ago was not as superb as it is now. There is no way, it is good to increase the purity of gold to more than 99%, and it is good to have 80%. When sorting out these golden artillery, Yang Yong noticed that the cannon was not only painted with beautiful patterns, but also learned that there was a text on the artillery.

It's just that the text was written in Spanish, and it happened that Captain Peterson had worked for the Spanish company for several years. I know some simple Spanish, but the time when the cannon was cast was hundreds of years ago? There is a big difference between the Spanish of ancient times and the Spanish of today. So Captain Peterson just told Yang Yong some words he understood, and intermittently half of Old Spanish didn't understand what they meant at all.

But the translated meaning of the other half gave Yang Yong a big hint, and the above meaning was very simple. That was the Spanish governor of South America at the time, looting the gold treasures of the Indian Inca civilization and then plundering the riches. Through the efforts of skilled craftsmen, twelve artillery shells of the same caliber were cast, which were intended to be transported to Spain for the King of Spain. The gold exposure for the cast artillery came from South America, and a significant portion of the gold came from Central America and Mexico.

The cannons were given as gifts to the King of Spain, who was pleased to pardon the governor for corruption. In this way, the governor could return to live in Spain without being caught and sentenced to death on the gallows. But I didn't expect to let the damn pirates rob it, and there was a black and black fight, and all these golden cannons were buried on Swan Island.

That's why the Spanish fleet hated the crew and captain of the Greek Outlaw so much. The reason why he had to arrest the Spencer pirate captain and kill him everywhere, and at the same time, Yang Yong had to sigh that the captain of the Spencer pirate ship was really bold. Even the gift of twelve golden cannons from the Spanish governor to the king of Spain was looted, so it is no wonder that the Spanish Armada had to put Spencer to death.
