I am a nobleman in England

In Britain, the contradiction between treasure hunters and archaeologists can be said to have a long history.

As a personal hobby, the use of metal detectors for treasure hunting and gold rushing first appeared in the 1950s after World War II. In the 1960s and 70s, treasure hunting and gold rushing became popular for the first time because of the emergence of more effective and more affordable detectors.

However, as more and more individual treasure hunters appeared, conflicts with the archaeological community began to intensify.Because these treasure hunters not only explored places like beaches and farmland, many people also went to some archaeological cultural relic sites to operate, causing damage to historical cultural relics.

At the same time, due to the lack of an open and transparent cultural relics trading system, many treasurers would secretly look for antique dealers to conduct transactions, leading to many cultural relics going abroad.

With the surge of folk treasure hunters in the late 1970s, the attitude of the professional archaeology community has become increasingly hostile.Archaeologists have put forward various forms of legal restrictions on the detection and sale of cultural relics, and have promoted the prohibition of individuals from using metal detection for treasure hunting in the UK, and have received the support of many professional groups and organizations.

The practice of professional archaeology certainly angered folk treasure hunters.In response to the lobbying of private treasure hunters, they opposed restrictions on personal use of metal detectors.It is not difficult to understand that their claims immediately received strong support from detector retailers and manufacturers.

After that, the two sides poured dirty water on each other.Archaeologists denounced folk treasure hunters as irresponsible criminals, wantonly destroying important sites, and selling national cultural relics for personal gain.Treasure hunters scold archaeologists for pretending to be elites, deliberately blocking the spread of knowledge, and trying to limit popular activities to their ivory towers.

The end result is that the relationship between archaeologists and folk treasure hunters completely collapsed.It turns out that some folk treasure hunters will notify the museum when they find the treasure, and may even lend the cultural relics to the museum for an exhibition, but they immediately withdrew their original cooperation after the relationship broke down.Some even destroy some documents and records so that archaeologists cannot study them.

As for the archaeologists, they also refuse to do cultural relic identification for folk treasure hunters.

The relationship between archaeologists and folk treasure hunters broke down, and in fact the consequences were very serious.First, a large number of cultural relics disappeared from society because they only appeared in private transactions.

Since archaeologists cannot see these cultural relics, there is no record, which leads to the lack of precious historical information.

Secondly, because the status of metal detectors is not justified, this has led to an increase in secret illegal detection. Many illegal elements even robbed some cultural relics and looted precious cultural relics.

Later, the distressed archaeologist had no choice but to swallow his breath and chose to compromise.

An agreement was reached between archaeologists and folk treasure hunters that folk treasure hunters can use metal detection to hunt for treasure and gold, but they must be responsible and not destroy cultural relics.

Archaeologists provide consultation and guidance to folk treasure hunters, and teach them how to find treasures and how to make cultural relic archives.In return, archaeologists can get relevant cultural relic archive information for research.

This is also the reason why these archaeologists look at these 1350 precious cultural relics and love them, but they are powerless and bloody when the treasure owner does not let go.

"Dear Sir, these cultural relics are indeed too precious. If possible, we hope..."

In the luxurious and empty lobby on the first floor, Arthur and the experts sat opposite each other. The officials of the Treasure Evaluation Committee still had to open their mouths to try to persuade them. However, before they could finish speaking, they were directly interrupted by Arthur smiling and shaking his head. This is a bit impolite, but for someone who knows that a strong person still has to make a request, it is impolite in itself, so why bother to the person.

"These are the heritage treasures of the Bolin family. They carry the glorious history of the Bolin family. I will set up a separate collection room for safekeeping. As for the others, I will avoid them. I have no plans to sell them.

Notifying you is only to fulfill the provisions and obligations of the Treasures Law, right......"

Having said this, Arthur looked back at the butler Paul who was standing behind him. Paul handed an envelope over. Arthur took the envelope and put it on the table, leaning forward, pushing it to the middle of the table, and continuing: It is the photographs and some video records of each cultural relic. This is the information on the cultural relics file given to you. I hope it can help you in your research."

"This--"

The archaeologists present were like frosted eggplants, and some of their faces were full of disappointment, but more of them were anxious. After all, the historical value of this batch of cultural relics is really too great, which is related to the history of Britain. .

"Dear Earl, can we study for a period of time, we can help you with detailed identification and valuation, I believe you also want to know the detailed information of these cultural relics, free of charge, completely free." The old scholar was anxious. The request said.

"Your Excellency, our Southampton Museum is willing to help you identify and restore all the cultural relics for free, as long as you can let our museum display it."

Upon hearing this request, the group of experts couldn't help but glared at the archaeological expert at the Southampton Museum of the chicken thief.

"Dear Lord Earl, please trust our British Museum's security and restoration technology, we will restore them to their original appearance perfectly..."

"... We at the Birmingham Museum have the most in-depth research on the relics of the Anglo-Saxon period. We can completely restore the original appearance and hope to cooperate with the Lord Earl."

Seeing the chaotic scene in front of you, you are fighting for the lease of these precious cultural relics. Arthur's eyes lit up slightly, and he was secretly happy. After looking back at the housekeeper Paul, he coughed slightly.

"Ahem, I understand what you guys mean. I'm really thinking about cooperating with a certain museum. After all, everyone has seen the extent of damage to these cultural relics, and I also want to see how they are restored.

However, if your three museums have intentions, I hope you three can come up with a restoration plan. I will choose one of them. I can promise that this batch of cultural relics will be free for selected museums to study and exhibit for one year."

Arthur had thought about letting the museum help him repair it for free. He didn't expect that these three museums would be so caring, so that he would save trouble.

And hearing Arthur’s words, the archaeology professors at the university did not speak any more, but looked at the other three experts who could represent the museum like a sigh of relief. As long as these artifacts enter the museum, they too You can get close to the research.

At this moment, a waiter walked up to the butler Paul and whispered a few words in his ear. The butler Paul nodded without changing his face. After he understood, he waved his hand to let the waiter leave, and he was bent over Arthur's ear. Bian whispered it again.

The corners of Arthur's mouth turned up slightly, his eyes filled with smiles, and he nodded and said, "Let them come here. There are so many experts."

"Okay, LORD." Butler Paul nodded slightly, and walked towards the main entrance of the castle.

In the curious eyes of everyone, the butler Paul quickly walked back with two strangers. As Arthur stood up to greet the visitor, the other experts stood up looking at each other.

"Welcome two guests to Bolin Manor."

"Hello, boss." X2

"Haha, don't be cautious, come, let me introduce to you, these are experts of the treasure evaluation committee, you guys, these two are reporters from the "Southern Daily Echo", they are here to cover this treasure incident Yes." Arthur introduced to both parties with a smile on his face.

When I heard it was a reporter, the ten experts looked at each other, and they all saw a hint of helplessness in each other's eyes, especially the three museum experts. It seemed that this important archaeological discovery could not be concealed. This is undoubtedly another one. Many variables have been added to the lease of cultural relics.

And Arthur, naturally, would not let such a major archaeological discovery obscured. The increase in fame will not only increase the reputation of the Bolin family, but also increase the market value of Bolin Manor. After all, the castle manor is The more famous the more valuable.

The archaeological discovery this time will definitely make Bolin Manor famous in the world, no matter from which aspect, it will be beneficial to Bolin Manor without any harm.

As for the experts of Youqiu and Arthur, when facing the reporter's interview, they naturally did not hesitate to praise themselves. For these cultural relics, they used a lot of exaggerated words to describe their importance.

What an unprecedented scale, it is impossible to estimate. So far, the largest in the UK, it is amazing, it scares everyone, shocked, breathtaking, completely speechless, the most important huge discovery, unheard of, and of great significance...The two reporters were bluffed for a while, and they were excited to write down all the words of these experts, and prepared to publish them in the newspapers as they were. This is definitely an exclusive big news, and it is really powerful by my own boss!

"Kacha—Kacha—"

The two reporters originally wanted to take special photos of those cultural relics. Before Arthur could say anything, the three museum experts immediately jumped out to prevent reporters from exposing too much cultural relics. They were nervous about protecting their own things. Arthur I can't laugh or cry about this, too, it's all exposed, who would go to the museum to see it.

Under the leadership of the butler Paul, after going to the excavation site and taking a few photos of the big hole, the two reporters excitedly rushed to the newspaper with the certification of the experts, hoping to publish this big news as soon as possible Go out and increase the sales of newspapers.

Sure enough, at breakfast the next day, Arthur looked at the front page headline of the Southern Daily Echo, which had changed its publication time in the morning, and read, “The Anglo-Saxon treasure was dug up from the home of the British Earl, which is the largest gold cultural relic in Britain to date. Group, unprecedented scale!"
