A treasure-appraisal maniac

Three years ago, Zhao Yonggang and his wife were still contracting orchards in Beishan, Huanggang Town.

In the autumn of that year, Zhao Yonggang was preparing to expand his winter storage cellar, but he accidentally dug up the paulownia box filled with treasures.

After digging up the treasure, Zhao Yonggang immediately backfilled the cellar with a guilty conscience. Later in the year, he took his wife and children to work at the chicken farm in Fenghuang Village.

For three whole years, this guy didn't dare to cash in the treasure he dug up. It wasn't until his son got a "terminal disease" that he took it out and was discovered by Lu Fei.

Lu Fei's evaluation of this guy is that he is not as honest as a man.

During the day, the Gao brothers conducted on-site inspections based on the location mentioned by Zhao Yonggang.

Even though it had been three years, the traces of Zhao Yonggang's backfilling of the cellar could not be hidden from the Gao family brothers.

With the Gao brothers' reconnaissance during the day and the cover of night, Lu Fei and the others found the location accurately.

Next, instead of digging hastily, we put down a pole to test.

The so-called pole is the Luoyang shovel mentioned in the tomb robbery. This thing was an important invention of the Chinese archaeological community in the last century.

The arc-shaped shovel head breaks through the ground easily, and the pole at the back is equipped with a threaded buckle to freely increase the length.

Insert the shovel into the ground and use the quality of the soil to identify whether there is a tomb underneath.

The quality of soil that has not been excavated is fundamentally different from that of secondary backfill. Even after thousands of years, it can still be identified, and the accuracy is almost 100%.

The Luoyang shovel used by the Gao brothers is an improved and upgraded version. The shovel head is made of alloy and the blade is made of diamond. It can handle even the hardest soil.

The pole is made of aluminum alloy, which is lightweight, convenient and not easily deformed.

The name of the patent holder of this improved version is Kong Fanlong.

Judging from experience, the three brothers lowered the pole at the same time, five meters apart. As a result, they made a major discovery in the first round.

The tall pole suddenly encountered a hard object when it was nine meters down. When the pole was pulled out, the soil it brought out was a bit gray and contained stone chips.
