Chapter 848: Treasure Digging Expert

"What a cute little guy." When Arya saw Xixiu, her eyes lit up immediately, and she couldn't help reaching out to touch Xixiu, but Xixiu seemed to have found something, and jumped out of Shen Long's hand with a whoosh It went down and landed on the ground, with its long mouth sticking to the ground, constantly sniffing something with its nose.

"Let's just follow it. Let's throw that metal detector aside!" Shen Long followed. The metal detector was just for the purpose of deceiving people. Now that there is already a treasure hunter, Nixiu, he still needs this thing. What are you doing? It has been several days now, and the residents of Lochaud Island have no more doubts. It is time to invite this little guy out to help him find the treasures lost by the pirates.

After not climbing far, Xixi stopped moving, stopped near a stone, circled around a few times, and then stretched out two front paws to dig quickly.

The speed of this little guy was extremely fast, and afterimages were formed on both front paws, the sand was quickly dug out, its body continued to drill down, and disappeared in a short while.

"It seems that there are really treasures here, and the treasure of Lohold Island is not just a legend!" Shen Long was gearing up, and now he didn't have to go to Cocoa Island in the Caribbean Sea.

"So we're going to make this hole bigger?" Arya said, pointing to the hole where Niffler had disappeared. She felt that such a small hole would not be able to get out all the gold, silver and jewels hidden in the ground.

"Wait a while, I believe this little guy will definitely bring us a surprise." The opening of the hole must be enlarged, lest other people feel strange seeing such a small hole, um, it's better to leave a hole inside A few gold coins or something, so that people who come to the island to hunt for treasure in the future can also get a little surprise.

Suddenly, Xixi poked out its small head from the hole again, with a gold coin dangling from its long mouth, Shen Long took it over and saw that the style of the gold coin was the shape of the Spanish gold coin in the era of great voyages, and its size was a circle larger than ordinary gold coins Well, due to the level of technology, the minting technology at that time was not up to standard, resulting in the outline of the gold coin not being a perfect circle.

It is slightly deformed, but the pattern on the gold coin is still clearly visible. Gently wipe off the sand on it, and the gold coin emits the unique charm of gold.

"This is an octagonal escudo! This is a good thing!" Shen Long's eyes lit up when he saw the pattern clearly. He has also read a lot of information about treasures these days, and he recognized this gold coin at a glance The origin of this gold coin is more valuable than I imagined.

This is the Spanish royal octagonal escudo gold coin minted in the sixteenth century. Today, there are only more than 20 pieces in existence, most of which are collected in major museums. According to the current collection market, the value of each escudo gold coin It is about three hundred to five million US dollars, and if you meet an avid collector of ancient coins, the price can be doubled several times.

Take a gold coin and roll it between your fingers a few times,

Shen Long gave the gold coin to Arya, he didn't plan to auction it, and he didn't lack these millions of dollars.

"A very beautiful gold coin." Arya took the gold coin and studied it seriously. This thing looks much better than the gold dragon used in Westeros.

"It's also very expensive, probably worth four to five million dollars." Shen Long reminded, he was afraid that Arya would give it to his friends as soon as she was happy, and it didn't matter to Arya and him , but not a good thing for friends who receive gifts.

"Wow, then our treasure hunt was worth it this time." Arya exclaimed, even if the treasure hunt only got this one gold coin, it would be a great harvest.

"No, no, this time we found a lot of treasures!" Shen Long laughed, raised Xixiu's hind legs and started to shake, only to hear a clattering sound, gold coins, golden crosses and other kinds of precious stones Gold and silver jewelry fell out of the pocket on Xixiu's stomach.

After a while, a hill of gold and silver was piled up on the beach. The pocket of Xixiu has a space expansion effect, which can accommodate things countless times larger than it.

"This ring is not bad!" Shen Long picked up a ring inlaid with shiny rubies and inspected it carefully. The gems were crystal clear and thick like blood, so it was a good thing at first glance.

"What is this for?" Arya knelt down and asked, picking up a gold-cast chain. This gold chain was more than ten meters long.

"This is a special currency. The king of Spain collects seigniorage in the colonies. Every gold and silver coin minted has to be paid to the king, but the chain shape is not included. In order to avoid paying taxes, those colonists minted it over time. This kind of gold chain has become a common practice." Shen Long explained, "It is said that these were used as tax-free coins back then."

"Choose some gold and silver coins, choose one or two pieces of each kind of jewelry, take them back to pay taxes and take them away, and hide the rest first." After squatting there and admiring them, Shen Long chose some odds and ends and put them in his own pocket. In the small box for several days, the rest is put into my personal space.

Paying taxes, that's what it means, he doesn't want to take all the treasures out to pay taxes, these are not Australian treasures, what qualifications do they have to collect taxes? With a little thought, it is enough to let the jewelry I found be visible, so that Arya or myself will not show it in the future and cause trouble.

"Okay, let's dig this hole a bit bigger!" Shen Long made a cover-up, completely destroying the excavation traces of Xixiu, and buried a few relatively cheap gold and silver coins inside.

After the busy work, it was already lunch time. The two of them ate dry food with mineral water, and then searched around the island with a sniff. Now that the first treasure was found, there must be a second one.

Working from morning to sunset, Xixiu finally found out all the treasures on the island, and Shen Long didn't bother to dig the remaining places. He just used magic to restore the terrain destroyed by Xixiu to its original state.

When night fell, Shen Long and Arya returned to the pier area covered in dust, and came to the hotel where they stayed. Seeing them coming back, Kewell immediately greeted them, "Mr. Shen, Miss Stark , how is today's harvest? Have you found any treasures?... Uh, do you want to consider my previous suggestion?"

He remembered that Shen Long had said earlier that today was the last day of their treasure hunt, and if they found nothing, they would consider buying his Spanish gold coins.

"Haha, I've gained a lot today, Kewell, look what I found!" Shen Long laughed loudly, and bounced a gold coin high with a bang.
