Chapter 26: The Museum of Distress
When Li Ming told his original plans and ideas;
The old and the young smoked the whole room.
After hearing this, Lao Dong said with emotion in his breath.
"When I received your call yesterday, I thought at the very least that was gold and silver jewelry."
"I didn't expect that when I arrived at the scene, I found that the things we dug were so big. I was thinking about it when I was lifting them last night that this thing was too stubborn and would definitely not be able to leave the island with secret touch."
"If you really choose the first one, it will be very uncomfortable here!"
"Don't look at the fact that every inch of land is worth every inch of land, the anti-smuggling side is actually very strict, and when you go out, you are basically the Royal Navy.
If you are caught privately, although this foreigner is not popular and shot, you will have to enjoy at least a "10-year-old island!"
"At that time, my brother, I will definitely be an accomplice. Do you think I will report you or not?"
When Old Dong said this, Li Ming swallowed unconsciously.
However, Lao Dong still doesn't believe the statement that the museum gives a bounty.
"But you are sure that this thing is handed over to it, and the museum will give you a bounty?"
Li Ming gritted his teeth and nodded affirmatively!
The two treasure hunters did reveal the news of their discovery of the treasure to the museum, and finally received a large bounty.
"I'm sure!"
The old man took a breath of cigarette and thought about it and said
"How to contact me, do you have any way?"
I didn't hear Li Ming reply to him for a long time. When I looked up, I saw the boy staring at him straight, and I immediately understood what the other party meant, and my voice suddenly became several degrees higher!
"Want me to contact you?"
Li Ming, whose mind was exposed, smirked at Old Dong.
"You old man, you have been here for ten years. You are more familiar with me. After you have achieved your success, you will get 10% off!"
Old Dong sighed and waved his face, looking indifferent.
"There is no need for money. Just don't forget the wine you owe me!"
"You guy is good at doing things and has a good personality! If you really want to thank me, do you think about my girl's affairs?"
The previous words made Li Ming overjoyed. After hearing his face, he felt a little stiff and complained in his heart: "The first time I've encountered such a father."
As the director of the St. Helier Museum, Old Henry was blowing the bagpipe affectionately in front of the museum;
And on the stall in front of him were some postcards and trinkets showing the Jersey scenery;
Main [Zone 8 www.dibaquxsw.top] If there is nothing to do!
The town’s military museum and Elizabeth Castle are more tourists than the museum, after all, the few broken stones in the Jersey Museum are really nothing good to look at;
As a cultural landmark of a region and city, the significance of its existence is very important;
In the past two years, Britain, which is still addicted to the glory of the sun, faces the worst fiscal deficit since World War II, so most public spending is facing austerity;
Now even local museums need to place several donation boxes at the door, hoping that visitors can be kind and generously inspired by the cultural atmosphere;
The British Museum, which is famous all over the world in Britain, is insignificant in this tiny local museum on Jersey;
Excellent collections and precious cultural relics are the key factors that determine whether a museum is well-known;
Jersey is a tax haven around the world, with hundreds of multinational corporations stationed here, and the town hall is not short of money at all.
Unfortunately, the Jersey Museum, which is a royal dependent in the UK, cannot see a few tourists throughout the year!
After all, there is nothing worth showing off, and it's just a few things to go by.
certainly!
An exhibition is occasionally held in museums on the island;
The next week, there will be another exhibition in the town. What is more embarrassing is that the exhibits in this exhibition were borrowed from the Tate Gallery in "London". Thinking of these curator Henry couldn't help but feel a little sad.
A museum needs to borrow things from the outside area to hold an exhibition. You can imagine how miserable the museum's collection is.
For the whole morning, Old Henry only sold a few postcards and a little souvenirs.
Just as he was about to pack up the stall and return to the museum, someone called him down.
"Old Henry, how are the business today!"
Hearing someone greeted him, Director Henry looked back and found that it was the Asian man who opened a small supermarket in the town.
After all, Old Dong has lived on the island for almost ten years, and the two are very familiar with each other.
"Hi, Mr. Dong! Not bad!"
Henry shook hands with Lao Dong politely, and he didn't understand why Lao Dong suddenly came to him.
"Mr. Dong, is there anything you have to do with me?"
Perhaps it was because the two were familiar with each other, or perhaps it was because Lao Dong was honest, so he took out a Celtic silver coin with patina from his pocket, which was handed to him by Li Ming before going out.
Henry couldn't move his eyes when he just looked at this thing. The silver coin displayed by Old Dong made him scream in a low voice, and he couldn't help but stretch out his hand;
"O my God, this is Celtic silver coin?"
Since the other party also saw the news, Old Dong decisively took the silver coins back into his pocket.
Seeing this, Old Henry was a little anxious.
The appearance of the Celtic silver coins that Lao Dong took out was really beyond his expectations. He was eager to see it more carefully.
"Old Henry, I think we need to talk about this thing in my hand in another place!"
"Of course! How about we sit down and have a cup of black tea!"
The Jersey Museum was running a company, and Old Henry was wearing gloves and holding a magnifying glass to carefully check the thin layer of patina silver coin in his hand. The color of the silver coin was a little dark, and there were at least three thick related information books beside him;
Old Dong Yiran enjoyed the good black tea in the museum with a complacent look, and looked at the Henry opposite him whose face was flushed because he was too excited and excited.
Ten minutes later, Henry confirmed extremely that the silver coin should have come from the end of the Iron Age.
From the prints on the silver coin the size of a fingernail, he read the information and boldly guessed that the silver coin in his hand should have come from a Celtic tribe in southern Gaul thousands of years ago.
"Mr. Dong, where did you get this thing!"
"Old Henry, I care if there will be a bounty if I hand it over to the museum!"
Hearing Old Dong say what he gave to the museum, Old Henry was overjoyed and even rubbed his hands with excitement.
Old Henry tickled his bare head anxiously, and thought for a long time to explain seriously.
"My God, you are so generous, are you willing to hand it over to the museum?"
Old Dong did not give a positive answer and buckled the desktop regularly with his fingers.
"Old Henry, talk about the bounty!"
"Mr. Dong, according to the British Treasure Law, if you hand this thing over to a museum, our museum can reward up to 20% of the market."
Since taking over as the previous director, Old Henry dreamed of finding some matching collections for the Jersey museums.
He was a professor in college and was particularly obsessed with the history and culture of ancient Rome and ancient Europe, and he had a special liking for the history and culture of the Celtics and Vikings;
What Lao Dong brought him so excited.
Especially when he kissed and stroked the silver coin minted by the Celtics that had been at least two thousand years old with his hands, feeling the patterns and patterns on both sides of the silver coin;
He reluctantly put down the silver coins in his hand, and made up his mind to keep this thing in the museum even if the mayor above gives more bounties.
“Last fall, Sotheby’s auction house auctioned about 15 Celtic silver coins in France, each priced at around £200!
Your silver coin is very good, and I mean the museum can produce up to 50 pounds!"
After listening to Henry's offer, Old Dong's hand shaking slightly.
At this moment, he was extremely shocked: "Is this silver coin worth 200 pounds in his hand?"
Thinking of this price, even though Old Dong had bold guesses about the price of silver coins in his hands before coming.
But the price given by the old Henry of the museum was much beyond his estimate. He never thought that a silver coin could be worth 2,000 soft sister coin.
Thinking about the pile of silver coins in his garage pickup, he couldn't help but take a deep breath and force himself to calm down.
He remembered that Li Ming vaguely said yesterday that the pile of silver coins would have at least tens of thousands of treasures. If one is 2,000, those tens of thousands would not be worth tens of millions of pounds. Even if it is only one fifth, it would have to be at least a few million;
"My goodness, isn't that boy's ancestral grave coming out of his family?"
