Chapter 459: Precious Gold Coins
Li Yi raised his eyebrows and activated his clairvoyant eye, he wanted to see how many gold coins there were in the turtle's belly, and what was the condition of the gold coins, if it was worthless, it was better to let this guy live.
Over there, several crew members pressed the turtle to take the hook from its mouth, and here, Li Yi began to search for the whereabouts of the gold coin with his clairvoyant eyes.
Li Yi, who had never seen through such a large living creature, was a little unbearable just after seeing through the turtle's body, and the muscles and veins were vividly displayed in front of his eyes, making him feel a burst of nausea.
Disgusting to look at too! He endured the discomfort and hurriedly swept his gaze around the turtle's belly, but found nothing.
If you don't find it, you haven't found it, this guy has a big fate!
However, the moment he retracted his clairvoyant eyes, there seemed to be a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye.
How could it be in that place?
After a closer look, he found that the moss covered in that place on the turtle's back was indeed slightly higher than that in other places, and he pressed it lightly with his hand, and it felt like there was a round edge, and he could use his fingers to buckle it, but found that it couldn't be buckled at all!
He shook his head, asked for a knife from the seafarer, and scraped the moss off the turtle's back under the curious eyes of the crowd.
"You're ......"
Ren Yuhuang thought that Li Yi wanted to scrape off the moss and then identify the species of the turtle, so he couldn't help but feel a little redundant. But before he could ask all the questions, he saw Li Yi rub the piece of moss, blow it again, and then magically took out a small round flake from it.
This is...... Coins? No way, how could there be coins on the back of a turtle? How is it possible to keep such a smooth little piece in that kind of place?!
However, whether he believed it or not, Li Yi did get a black coin out of it!
"What is this?"
"It should be an ancient European gold coin, well, it's good luck, after soaking in the sea water for so long, there is no corrosion at all."
Li Yi nodded as he spoke, this gold coin oxidized very well and very evenly, as if someone was doing it deliberately......
Suddenly, his heart moved, maybe someone really did it on purpose, otherwise, it would be difficult to explain how this gold coin could appear on the back shell of a turtle, and it seemed to be glued on, until it was surrounded by moss and did not fall.
However, according to the current market situation, even if there is a large number of antique gold coins in this condition, they will be sold for at least 10,000 euros.
Seeing that Li Yi didn't speak for a long time, Lu Ningshuang touched him gently, and the eyes of the others looking at the turtle's back were about to kill the turtle, do you still scrape, don't scrape and say a word, let others scratch!
Li Yi stood up and smiled apologetically at a few people,
"It was a bit of a surprise, so ...... It's okay, let's go scratch it open and take a look, I'll have this one enough. β
As soon as his words fell, several eager crew members looked at Zhou Qiusheng, Zhou Qiusheng waved his hand casually, and these guys screamed, pressed the turtle to the ground, and started the most peculiar instant lottery scratch activity.
"Brother Li, can you let me see this gold coin?"
Ren Xiaoyao, who had been standing without speaking, suddenly stretched out his hand to Li Yi, looking at his appearance, it seemed that he had studied a little bit of ancient gold coins in Europe.
"Well, because an old friend of mine is a collector of ancient European gold coins, I learned a little bit from him, but I don't know if I can recognize the origin of your gold coin."
Ren Xiaoyao took the gold coin from Li Yi's hand, looked at it carefully, and hesitated:
"I have the impression that this gold coin should be precious. But not too sure, can I send a picture to my friend? β
Precious? Li Yi stretched out his hand to signal him to take care of himself, then took out his mobile phone, looked at the network signal, shook his head helplessly, and gave up.
The signal is not good, but it's barely possible to send pictures using a live chat tool. Ren Xiaoyao took a photo of the front and back of the gold coin, then looked at the slowly advancing progress bar, and said:
"This gold coin is supposed to be a gold coin with the head of Fernand VII re-minted by the Real Madrid Mint in 1817, you see, the obverse of the coin is the side portrait of Fernand VII, the 1817 below is the year of minting, and the coat of arms, the castle, and the lion on the back, which are the ancient symbols of Spain, and they symbolize the ...... of Castile and LeΓ³n respectively"
Li Yi nodded, it seems that Ren Xiaoyao does know this gold coin, but what does he mean by precious?
"Fernand VII was the worst king in Spanish history, abdicating for a time and later reinstated with Napoleon's permission. After coming to power again, he brutally suppressed the revolutionaries, supposedly killing more than 50,000 people! The decade of his reign, later in the history of Spain, became known as the Decade of Darkness. β
"So after he stepped down, the revolutionaries destroyed everything he left behind, including the gold coins he issued, so now the gold coins issued during the restoration of Fernand VII are very valuable, and if this gold coin were to be auctioned, I would easily fetch hundreds of thousands of euros."
Hundreds of thousands of euros?
Everyone on the boat, including Li Yi, gasped in unison, less than two grams of gold, it was only more than 200 years ago, and it was worth so much money!
This He Shou Wu water fishing is really fierce!
Although the turtle was caught by Lu Ningshuang, even if they found the gold coin, it was not theirs. But since this gold coin is so valuable, if you can find another one, you should be able to get some soup anyway.
Besides, taking a gold coin worth hundreds of thousands of euros off a turtle's back with their own hands is definitely something that can be bragged about for a lifetime, so those crew members worked even harder, not sparing any bit of green, and in a short time the poor green turtle was shaved bald!
Looking at the few deep visible scars on the turtle shell, as well as the messy skirt that was cut, Li Yi shook his head helplessly, this is the reason for the guilt, no way, I hope you will return to the sea later, and it will not attract any hunters.
The crowd looked at the gold coins for a while, released the hapless turtle into the sea, and then left with incredible and envious eyes.
Seeing that there were only two people left, Lu Ningshuang raised her little hand,
"Haha, do you want to collect this gold coin? A million, take it! β
Li Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head, to say that it is indeed this girl's luck, because even if he uses He Shou Wu water, he does not guarantee that he will be able to catch this green sea turtle!
"No problem, I'll transfer money to you when I go back, little rich woman, you can steal the fun!"
Lu Ningshuang smiled sheepishly, speed speed, I still have to catch a big tuna!
Helping her hang up the bait, Li Yi also threw the hook into the sea, but before the hook sank to the bottom, he saw the spinning wheel start to spin wildly, and couldn't help but be surprised, I wiped it, it's a big guy again!
"Huh? So fast? β
Lu Ningshuang screamed in surprise, and then saw that his spinning wheel was also spinning, and couldn't help but shout excitedly,
"Ha, I'm on the fish too! This time it's definitely a big fish, you see the spinning wheel turning! β
"Raise the rod! Suppress the speed of pay-off! Boss Zhou, come over and help! β
As soon as Li Yi looked at the speed of her spinning wheel, he knew that it was not good, the one Lu Ningshuang caught was probably bigger than his, if he didn't find someone to help, the best ending was probably to throw the rod into the sea!
Zhou Qiusheng heard the movement here, and ran over quickly, just glanced at Lu Ningshuang's struggling appearance, and took the fishing rod over, never thinking that the fish rushed violently, and actually drove him two steps, directly hitting the boat gang!
"I'll go, what a fish, so strong!"
Hearing the movement, the people who gathered again saw that even Zhou Qiusheng was almost pulled into the sea, and couldn't help but be shocked and inexplicable, and the eyes that looked at Lu Ningshuang couldn't help but bring a trace of confusion, this fish, most of them cost more than 100 catties, this girl, how could today's luck be so good? !
"Don't look at it, go and start the boat, be careful that the fish gets to the bottom of the boat and breaks the line!"
Zhou Qiusheng was still struggling to adjust his position, and when he saw several crew members running over, he couldn't help yelling angrily.
Generally speaking, after catching a big fish, even if the line is thick, it cannot be deadlifted, otherwise, it is easy to hook the fish mouth and get off the hook. But walking the fish is also troublesome, because the line is relatively long, and if the fish gets to the bottom of the boat, it is easy to hang up the line, so at this time the boat should get out of the way, and then slowly drive the boat to follow the fish until it is exhausted.
But this time, it is obvious that they have encountered a new problem, because Li Yi is also a big fish here!
"Don't worry about me, if you really can't cut the line, I'm not as big as Xiaolu!"
Soon, the fishing boat started, and then adjusted its course according to the on-site command here, following the fish caught by Lu Ningshuang, and slowly moved on the sea.
Li Yi's luck was good, his line was thick enough, and the hook was big enough, so whenever the fish ran in the wrong direction, he could forcibly pull it back, and it didn't take long for the fish to be dragged to the surface.
"Tuna, yellowfin tuna!"
Although there was still some distance from the fishing boat, the sharp-eyed crew members could already see what kind of fish it was, and they couldn't help but scream.
"Pull it slowly and get on the speargun!"
The first mate stared closely at the tuna lying on the water and was getting closer and closer, and calmly ordered his subordinates. The fish is just resting now, and if you think it's out of strength and want to pull it up directly, I guess that last struggle is enough to make you lose all your efforts!
Of course, it can also be really exhausted by walking a little longer, but because there is still a bigger one of Lu Ningshuang, this one can only be painful.
Soon, the tuna was less than ten meters away from the fishing boat, seeing that it seemed to have a turning over action, the first mate no longer hesitated, waved his hand, and with a whoosh, a speargun with a rope flew past Li Yi's ear, and accurately nailed to the silver drop-shaped fish of the tuna not far away, and then, a ball of blood spread rapidly!
