258. Gold coins come in a bowl
George Shoal, Hatch Reef, Undercurrent Seaway.
A group of sturdy figures quietly stopped at the bottom of the sea, this is a group of sea snakes whose length and appearance are shocking, the eldest brother who takes the lead has reached a terrifying fifteen meters in length, the real thickness of a bucket, between opening and closing, the golden eyes exude a cold light.
After the big brother of the sea python, there is a group of slightly smaller brothers, they are all within ten meters in length, I don't know if Qin Shiou injected a little too much sea god energy into the leading big brother at the beginning, or this guy has mutated, that body size is too terrifying.
A giant rat shark swam over, compared to the one that fought with the marlin at the beginning, this is a mother-level man, with a body length of six or seven meters, a strong and round body, and a series of scars on the skin, witnessing its glorious fighting road.
The porgue shark was also lured by a school of tuna, and it began to sprint with coveting saliva from afar, but after rushing closer, suddenly the sea sand swelled, and a stream of thick ink sprayed out.
Then, in the thick ink, countless tentacles stretched out from the sea sand, like the ghost hands of the ghosts of hell, and wrapped around the body of the porgas shark in clusters.
The porger shark was first taken aback when it fell into the inky sea environment, and it tried to run in a panic, but it was too late, and these slender tentacles interlocked and grabbed it.
Behind, several terrifying figures rushed up with thunder, wrapped around its body and began to shrink wildly, the huge mouse shark struggled a few times, and then was strangled ≡ spit blood, eyes burst out, and quickly died!
The marlin and tuna gathered around, slowly tore its body with its sharp teeth, and began to enjoy the feast.
Qin Shiou, who witnessed this massacre throughout the whole process, was deeply shocked, it turned out that he had such a terrifying group of subordinates!
Big Brother Anaconda didn't make a move at all. has been watching from the sidelines, and it was only a few of its younger brothers who strangled the porgas shark just now. As for those tentacles that spew ink and stick out of the sea sand, they are naturally the masterpieces of the swarm of spear squid.
Poseidon consciousness shrouded over these sea pythons and spear squid. They were immediately overjoyed, and the sea python's gaze changed from cold to soft, and it shook its body slightly to feel the caress of the sea god's consciousness.
The spear squid came out of the sand one after another, bringing up countless sands, so that the sand filled the sea, and the whole sea channel seemed to be hollowed out.
This is what Qin Shiou wants!
After resting the sea pythons and spear squid, he injected them with Poseidon energy, and started work overnight.
In contrast, the Blue Flag is a small fight. The spear squid are the experts in digging sand, and the sea python is crisscrossing in the sea sand, which is called a free sway.
All of a sudden, the yellow sand was flying, the bottom of the sea was hollowed out one after another, and the sea pythons intertwined their tails in pairs, lined up in a row, like ploughing the ground, and swept the sand road behind the spear squid.
Sweep about four kilometers. Qin Shiou was a little tired and couldn't stand it and was ready to rest, but at this moment, in the light sea sand, several heavy and flat things were swept up by a spear squid and quickly fell......
Qin Shiou's gaze. Keeping an eye on this thing, yes, it's gold!
He went over and took a closer look. These coins are generally dull yellow, but have a faint patina and dark brown rust around the edges. This image allowed him to confirm the approximate time when the gold coins sank to the bottom of the sea: about a century.
Because the level of metallurgical technology was not enough at that time. Coupled with the deliberate addition of metal, the gold coin is not pure gold, but contains a certain amount of silver, copper, and iron.
After being buried at the bottom of the sea for two centuries, the copper and iron in the gold coin will eventually react with the seawater, producing some patina and rust.
The gold coin, which has fallen into the sand to date, is about two centimeters long, and on the obverse is the Lady Liberty striding forward, holding a torch in one hand and an olive branch in the other, with the sun's rays radiating in the background, and a Roman numeral "MCM7" in the lower right.
Qin Shiou knew that MCM7 is the meaning of 1907 in Roman numerals.
On the reverse of the coin is an eagle with wings spread, which is a bald eagle, which is the image of George W. Bush. The bald eagle has the name of the country and the denomination 20 above, and a line of letters at the bottom is "In-God-We-Trust," which translates to 'We believe in God.'
In addition, the coin has 50 stars representing 50 states on the margin, interspersed with a Latin phrase: e-pluribus-unum.
This phrase is famous, it is the national motto of the United States, which means 'all are one,' and every president of the United States will utter it when he takes the oath to power.
Seeing these gold coins, Qin Shiou breathed a sigh of relief, his efforts were not in vain, and the treasure of the 1907 Eagle Ocean gold coin was finally revealed!
These gold coins are the best heart booster, after Qin Shiou saw them, his waist didn't hurt anymore, his back was not sore, and he injected the sea python and the spear squid with Poseidon energy in one go, and began to dig around the place where the gold coins were found.
As the sand was scooped open, an iron box with cracked edges was revealed, a lockbox, about 80 centimeters wide, 80 centimeters long, and half a meter high, made of steel, thick and solid.
Even if it has been buried in the sea sand for a century, it can be felt indestructible.
It's a pity that no matter how hard things are, they can't resist the invasion of time, this lockbox is full of rust, and one of the edges is cracked, and some gold coins are spilled out, and the few coins just found are falling from here.
According to the information checked by Qin Shiou, this kind of lockbox was the gold coin safe used by major banks in the United States before 1925, and each box could hold 4,000 gold coins.
At that time, the New York Mint had just minted 40,000 1907-style eagles, each worth 20 yuan, with a total value of 800,000 yuan.
As a result, people are not as good as heaven, and the warship escorting gold coins at that time actually hit the reef and sank, and a total of 40,000 gold coins were lost in the sea, and it was not until today that Qin Shiou saw the light of day again!
After finding this gold coin box, Qin Shiou spread around with it as the core, and soon found five more boxes, and it stands to reason that there are two other boxes of eight thousand gold coins, but he can't find it.
Qin Shiou had exhausted all the Seagod energy, and now he couldn't open his eyes under the sweat and rain, and it was completely his will supporting him.
After looking around like this, he couldn't find the remaining two boxes of gold coins, so he couldn't stand it anymore and withdrew the Poseidon energy to rest.
That night, Qin Shiou didn't sleep very well, even if he had the experience of 100 tons of silver on the Deng's Fish, but he found that the gold coins worth more than 20 million still made him unable to suppress his excitement.
When he woke up in the morning, the first thing he did was to hurry back to see if the gold coins were still there, and if they were covered with sand again? Could someone happen to go diving and come across those gold coins? You won't fantasize about yourself last night, right? (To be continued......)
