Starting My Treasure Hunting In England

Chapter 400 Comprehensive Search

The call was made to Steward Robuchon because he heard at the jewelry conference last time that the count's family planned to find some old trains to open a new high-end rail travel project, so he wanted to find out how the situation was.

"The carriage of the Orient Express is the legendary carriage of the Orient Express?" After Liang En finished telling him about his discovery on the phone, the surprised voice of Butler Robuchon came over the phone.

"Yes, it should be the blue Orient Express that operated between World War I and World War II." Liang En made a phone call while standing on the edge of the previously dug vent on the top of the mountain, making up for such details. “And we found original furniture and trim from the car.”

While Liang En was talking, Fan Meng was also emailing the pictures and videos he had taken of the carriages and the contents of the wooden boxes to the other party on the computer nearby.

"This is simply amazing. I always thought these things were damaged in World War II." Looking at those photos, Robuchon's housekeeper was even more surprised, because most of the existing carriages do not have original decorations and furniture.

This is mainly because the Orient Express operated for a period of time after World War II, and then those carriages were used by other lines, so basically not much of the original equipment on it is retained.

"Yes, this is what we need." After sighing with emotion, Butler Lubuchon finally confirmed that these things were what he needed, and then asked Liang En to wait there for two days until he sent someone over.

So in the following time, Liang En and the others simply dug during the day and took turns on duty around the hill at night until the people sent by Butler Robson arrived to handle the next work.

To be honest, being on duty at night is not a very pleasant thing. It makes Liang An extremely miss the ravens fishing at home. The only good thing is that there are no ferocious beasts in this place, so carrying a gun is no big deal in terms of safety. question.

As for the day's work, we will further search the entire tunnel. Although only one vent is open now, after a long period of ventilation, we can finally get rid of the restrictions of the oxygen bottle.

The first thing they checked was the large pile of boxes, and they found that the items contained in the boxes included furniture, mahogany decorative panels, and small gold-plated metal parts such as towel racks and clothes hooks.

Obviously, small and valuable items such as textiles, silver tableware or crystal tableware should have been taken away in advance and not taken into the tunnel with the car.

After a simple count, they determined that almost everything in the trains was here. Even the refrigerators and ovens in the dining cars were found during the search.

Of course, the refrigerator here is not the common refrigerator now, but a refrigerator that needs to be filled with ice cubes to freeze the items inside. At the same time, the stove is also a coal-burning stove.

Interestingly, the refrigerator and stove were not found in the pile of boxes, but in the workers' living area nearby. These workers used the refrigerator as a container for water and the stove for daily heating and food heating. .

So when they found the equipment, the refrigerators were okay, at least the workers remembered to dump the water before leaving, but the furnace was filled with half-burned coal, making the entire furnace dark.

In addition to the equipment that originally belonged to the train, there were other things stuffed in the box. With the help of metal detectors, they found some weapons and ammunition.

The bullets were wrapped in rough paper boxes or even horse manure paper. After a brief inventory, they found that these bullets included both pistol bullets and rifle bullets, and the calibers were different. The same goes for rifles, and they found 17 rifles in total.

What's interesting is that the models of these 17 rifles are not uniform at all, and the conditions of preservation are also very different. They are obviously off-brand guns used by the so-called National Commando when Germany was about to end.

Among them, the gun in the worst condition was a single-shot Mauser 1871 rifle. The wooden stock was severely worn and the rifling inside was basically smoothed.

The gun in the best condition is the MAS 36, the latest French military rifle produced before World War II. The overall condition is very new, with almost no signs of wear in the barrel.

As a joke from Liang En's previous life said, this rifle was 90% new and had hardly been fired except for falling to the ground once when surrendering.

"Alas -" Joan of Arc sighed as she looked at the rifle being brought up by the rope. Anyway, she didn't know what to say when she saw her descendants fighting like this. At least the Hundred Years' War was so ugly and they didn't surrender directly.

After seeing the general situation, Liang En came to the center of the tunnel, and then activated [Eye of Daedalus (SR)] at the cost of a [Detection (N)] and 14 legendary points.

In an instant, Liang En saw a large number of golden light spots appearing in his mind within a distance of 140 meters with himself as the center of the ball. At the same time, he also suddenly realized that this skill was not as expected in this situation. Easy to use.

This skill is indeed useful when searching for treasures, but now it seems stupid to use this thing among a lot of cultural relics.

Because all the cultural relics emit the same light, a scene like a starry sky suddenly appeared in Liang En's mind.

These massive golden light spots within the perception range seriously interfered with his search work. After all, the card had a limited time to take effect, and he simply did not have time to check what these light spots represented one by one.

Fortunately, he quickly came to his senses and gave up on those light spots in the tunnel, because he had seen the things in the tunnel before, and even if he didn't find them just now, he would be able to find them later.

On the contrary, those light spots located inside the wall or underground are what he needs to pay most attention to. After all, these things cannot be found unless he is specifically looking for them.

Fortunately, things that can be marked do not just have to be old enough, but also have certain humanistic value. It is not just a brick on the roadside that can cause a reaction, so there must be places where there are light spots. Something of value.

After excluding the light spots in the tunnel, there were only two places with light spots in the end. One of them was inside the wall, with only one spot, and the other was located on the side of a section of railway, with seemingly more than a dozen light spots. .

The spot of light in the wall was easily found, a nickel of 50 pfennig in perfect condition. This thing is called a tank recycling coin in the collecting circle.

Due to the shortage of resources in Germany at the end of the war, most of these nickel-containing coins were remelted and used to make tanks, so not many of them survived, so they are valuable. A coin in good condition like this can be sold for about 200 euros.

After collecting the coin found from the crack in the cave wall, Liang En said hello to Fan Meng who was inspecting the registered furniture, and then came to the place where a dozen light spots were shining.

This is a gravel field that is no different from the surroundings. If it were not for the card effect, Liang En would not have thought that there would be anything hidden in this place.

However, when Liang En used a small shovel to clean up the gravel on the surface, a metal box lid was partially exposed from under the gravel. At the same time, he also smelled a stench through the gas mask.
