British farmers love treasure hunting.
The lucky farmer's name is Billy Vaughan. He is an extremely ordinary farmer in this area and is actively engaged in agricultural activities at ordinary times. Recently, however, due to the influence of movies and TV series, this simple farmer is fascinated by the activities of looking for ancient treasures. Therefore, it has another identity behind its status as a farmer, and that is "treasure hunter". After becoming a treasure hunter, he began to look for treasures in various ways and methods, and bought various advanced instruments to explore for himself.
Before the simple farmer discovered the gold ring thousands of years ago, he had made dozens of scientific explorations at his doorstep, but the harvest was relatively small. It is said that only a few silver coins were found. However, the farmer has not lost interest in treasure hunting. This time he didn't choose to give up. Instead, he continued his favorite treasure hunt.
So during a treasure hunt, his treasure detector suddenly sounded a very loud and dense tone, and the farmer felt very happy. He thinks he can dig up a very different treasure this time. So he began to dig deep where the detector was. Sure enough, a gold ring appeared here soon after the excavation.
Find a gold ring
When the farmer first saw the gold ring, he didn't realize that it was made of pure gold. He thought it was just an ordinary gold ring, and even imagined that it was a climbing button used by people when climbing mountains, or even a part of a tractor or motorcycle. But after many careful studies, he found that things were not as simple as he thought.
He boldly guessed: Is this gold ring all pure gold? He wasn't sure if he had such a good thing on his head, but he decided to ask a professional to measure it, so he took this gold ring to a very famous local jeweler. According to a jeweler with superb jewelry appraisal experience, this ring is really made of gold, and its weight is very heavy, reaching more than 300 grams.
In this way, the unexpected gold ring becomes priceless. At this time, the kind farmers did not take it for themselves, but reported it to the relevant cultural relics department.
Report to the local cultural relics bureau
After learning the news, the British local cultural relics bureau attached great importance to it and sent special cultural relics personnel to carry out relevant tests on this gold ring. After careful inspection, the cultural relic surveyor found that this gold ring is not a regular ring, and the left and right ends of the ring overlap deeply, and the surface of the ring is engraved with a notch. The only smooth place is a small part inside this ring. It can be said that most of the area of the ring is uneven.
At that time, the cultural relics official who was appointed to inspect the gold ring attached great importance to this matter. He believes that he has never met such a gold ring in his long career, and that this gold ring is deeply unique and worthy of further study. Because the official could not make an accurate judgment, he reported the matter to the relevant cultural relics management personnel of the British Museum.
Report to the British Museum
The British Museum also attached great importance to it. They gave the task of studying this gold ring to a very famous expert in our museum named Neil Wiggins. He is a famous expert in studying ancient cultural relics in the British Museum.
After careful study, he found that this gold ring excavated by local farmers came from the Bronze Age more than 3,000 years ago, with a very long history and inestimable cultural value. Another reason why he made such a decision was that when he was in Ireland, he also saw something similar to this gold ring in the local unearthed cultural relics.
In the history of Cumberland, England, only one bronze age object was found, that is, a gold ring more than 3,000 years ago. The British farmer later discovered that the ring was also made of gold.
But this gold ring was in a broken state when it was excavated, and it was not as complete as the gold ring found by the farmer later. Besides, the gold ring found before is also lighter. Therefore, in comparison, the gold ring has higher historical value and cultural significance than the original gold ring.
national treasure
It is precisely because this gold ring came from the Bronze Age more than 3,000 years ago and has a high gold content that it was officially recognized as a national treasure by the British government. British countries have special laws and regulations on treasure excavation, such as the famous treasure law. According to the British law on cultural relics and treasures, the British government will give considerable rewards to the cultural relics diggers and the landowners where the treasures are located after the cultural relics from the people are considered by the state to have high cultural relics value.
Therefore, this simple and kind English farmer also got a lot of money, which is the result of his independent exploration of treasures, his persistence in his hobbies and never giving up.
Then do you know how much this gold ring is really worth? It is said that only by the gold in it, there are at least more than 10,000 pounds. If converted into RMB, there are at least100000 yuan. However, in addition to its high gold content, the gold ring has a high cultural value because its history can be traced back to the Bronze Age more than 3,000 years ago, so its price will rise several times.
It can be said that this gold ring, which was not accidentally discovered by British farmers, is priceless and belongs to the national cultural treasure of Britain. Visible, if we have our own hobbies, stick to it, love it, and keep exploring, there will be unexpected gains.
