Chapter 73: It's too late, the treasure has been dug

Hoxson belongs to an ancient village in the Middle Suffolk area, 5 miles southeast of the town of Dees, Norfolk and 1.5 miles south of the Weaverney River.

It took Li Ming and his group a full 50 minutes to drive from Ipswich in Suffolk to the final destination village of Hoxson (Hoksney).

Mainly there was some traffic jam along the way, but the three Cbb cameramen kept taking turns to follow the photos.

Hoxson is surrounded by lush green fields and beautiful wildflower meadows along the road, and the ancient red brick buildings left over from the 18th century are still there.

Anyone who comes here will be immersed in this picturesque rural scenery.

Li Ming reluctantly retracted his gaze, looked at the plains in the distance, and said, "Brothers, Hokson is an old village with a very famous history in the beautiful Suffolk history. The village has a unique and authentic ancient history. The first group of Hawks settled, about 320,000 years ago. At that time, was it still a lake!"

"This village is the destination of my trip. I will stay here for enough week. If I find nothing here, I will go to the next place as soon as possible and continue to search for other areas that may have treasures."

"I also want to tell you something very important. We plan to search for treasures in any area abroad. We must obtain the consent of the land owner. If there is no owner of the land, it will be different."

"Next, I plan to talk to the village chief here. I may need to pay some money to obtain the consent of the treasure hunt in the village."

【My little notebook has been written!】

【That means you will deliberately pick up places where no one is ~】

[If you want to dig for treasures, you will spend money to buy land first? I understand!]

Cbb's satellite broadcasting vehicle was parked outside the village. Next, three photographers and Li Ming's drone equipment entered the village.

Hoxson is a tourist destination with good scenery. There are many tourists in the village on weekdays. Not only are there rural hotels nearby, but also holiday houses that you deliberately rent.

The villagers along the way did not express any extra expressions about Li Ming and the film crew except to take a look at it.

If Li Ming directly asked where the retired gardener lived here, it would seem too deliberate. He speeded up and decided to speak directly to the manager of this area and take down the exploration rights of the entire village.

After the introduction of the villagers, the village chief appeared. He was a simple and honest old man with a white beard. However, Li Ming was so hot that he felt very hot for him.

At this time, the barrage of the live broadcast room began to occupy the high ground again.

【Damn, the white-bearded old man is here to send a mission again?】

【Congratulations to Brother Ming for receiving the task npc】

[As the saying goes, if you want to break up, you will pay attention to the mountain. Brother Ming is a social person at first glance, and he is very particular about playing]

【Bai Shantou laughed at me ~】

When Li Ming expressed his purpose, the village chief said in surprise: "Young man, there was indeed a treasure here, but it was dug up hundreds of years ago!"

......

cbb's "Treasure Hunter" program team's studio.

Under the real-time broadcast of the film crew, Li Ming's every move was almost completely transparent.

Previously, other treasure hunting teams were already searching in the target area in full swing, especially the legendary treasure hunting team had already started posing a pulse detector at the destination.

Experienced treasure hunters will generally be equipped with pulse detectors and disc detectors (disc-shaped metal detectors) to mix the two.

The pulse detector has high sensitivity and better relative depth. The disadvantage is that it lacks the ability to recognize colorless metals and has poor anti-interference ability.

Metal detectors are much more convenient, most of which are physical detection! They have strong metal recognition capabilities, strong resistance to mineralization and various interferences, and are very stable. The machine can handle it and operate it easily by one person.

The six treasure hunting teams, in addition to six live broadcast screens, also have a screen for host and guest commentary. The audiences of "Treasure Hunter" can switch to watch the team they like at will.

At this time, whether it was the audience in front of the TV or the host in the studio, they were very confused about the small village of Li Ming in the picture from Edinburgh to Suffolk.

The host expressed his doubts for many viewers, "What are the Asians doing when they traveled thousands of miles to Hoxon? The most people in the UK belong to Suffolk, and there are many treasure hunters in that place. The possibility of finding treasures there is very low, right?"

Because Li Ming’s discussion has been a bit hot recently, some viewers who watched his treasure hunt out of curiosity were even more confused. In their eyes, the Asian treasure hunter on the TV was too abnormal and was not professional at all. He ate and drank along the way, and then ran to a resort village to hunt for treasure?

Then I looked at the hard work of other treasure hunting teams. It felt like the Asian on TV respected this show at all, and it seemed like she was on a trip and vacation, and she even went to a resort.

Professor Marco, who was on the commentary table, saw Li Ming coming to Hoxson, was surprised and blurted out: "This Asian boy is a bit interesting. The village he came to has indeed treasures!"

"Professor, do you mean that this village called Hoxon really has treasures?" The host next to him exclaimed immediately when he heard this.

Another guest next to him suddenly came to his senses and blurted out: "Professor Marco, are you talking about the Hoxon Stone Axe?"

The host was a little confused: "What is the Hoxon Stone Axe!"

Professor Marco explained solemnly: "The so-called Hoxon Stone Axe refers to the discovery of 12 feet of flint handmade tools in brick and stone pits in 1796. He was the first person to realize that ancient tools were artificial tools. One of his discoveries was now stored in the British Museum."

"A letter from the Society for Antiquities, discovered on June 22, 1797, published in the Society's Archaeology magazine in 1800, believes that the ancient times of these hand axes "even transcend the present world, and this period is now considered to belong to the Stone Age."

"John Frey also believes that these "weapons" coincide with extinct elephant fossils nearby, located in the Mid-Pleistocene lake formed during the interglacial geological warming in Europe.

"So, based on evidence of undisturbed pollen layers of plants and trees found at the Frerey site in the 1950s, the British archaeological community called the entire period the "Hokson period", thus affirming the certainty of this period, warming and cooling, and defining the phase of the Great Ice Age!"

"In the five years between 1971 and 1978, the team led by the University of Chicago conducted extensive excavations again at the site where John Frey discovered the hand axe. They confirmed that the hand axe date was about 400,000 years ago!"

For paleoanthropology, it shows the existence of the British about 400,000 years ago, and for geology, it was the era of the Great Ice Age in Europe (called the Hawksneys in the UK)...

The host on the side interrupted directly: "Do you think this Asian treasure hunter named Li Ming may have a major discovery here?"

Professor Marco frowned, then pondered for a while and shook his head and said, "That stone axe is the greatest treasure for geology and paleoanthropology.

And I don’t think there will be any other treasures here. After all, this area has been searched and explored by the archaeological community more than a dozen times!”

"But from the position chosen by this Asian treasure hunter, I really appreciate it. If he could find other tools about ancient humans here, I think I would be very excited."

Professor Marco said for a long time, and his implication was quite obvious: "That means that Li Ming chose a good place, but unfortunately the treasure has disappeared long ago and he has come late!"

After hearing Professor Marco's explanation, the foreign audiences watching the "Treasure Hunter" program couldn't help but feel deeply moved;

Many viewers even think that it is rare for an Asian to have such a deep understanding of British archaeology and treasures.

Many viewers of "Treasure Hunter" have begun to change their subconscious impression of Li Ming.

At this time, Li Ming heard the Whitebeard Village Chief say that the treasure was dug hundreds of years ago, and he asked in surprise: "Has been dug?"

"Yes, it's just the Hoxon Stone Axe!

It was discovered by our Academician John Frey hundreds of years ago. Now it is in the British Museum!” The old village chief touched his beard and said proudly!

When the water friends in the live broadcast room of the Douyu platform heard that the treasure had been dug up, they immediately made a barrage of jokes.

[Brother Ming came one step late this time, and the treasure has been dug up. Are you feeling uncomfortable?]

【It’s not just one step later, it’s hundreds of years later!】

[It seems that the treasure hunt has been shut down on the first day of this time. The anchor will change the place directly. This place is probably not available!]
