In Britain, the contradiction between treasure hunters and archaeologists has a long history.


    As a personal hobby, using metal detector to search for treasure and gold first appeared in the 1950s after World War II. In the 1960s and 1970s, with the emergence of more effective and affordable detectors, treasure hunting and gold panning became popular for the first time.


    However, with the emergence of more and more personal treasure hunters, conflicts with the archaeological community have also begun to intensify. Because these treasure hunters not only explore beaches and farmland, but also go to some archaeological sites to operate, causing damage to historical relics.


    At the same time, due to the lack of an open and transparent cultural relics trading system, many treasure collectors will secretly look for antique dealers to trade, resulting in a lot of cultural relics flowing out of the country.


    With the rapid increase of folk treasure hunters in the late 1970s, the attitude of professional archaeologists has become increasingly hostile. Archaeologists have proposed various forms of legal restrictions on the detection and sale of cultural relics, promoting the prohibition of individuals from using metal detection for treasure hunting in the UK, which has been supported by many professional groups and organizations.


    The practice of the professional archaeologists certainly angered the folk treasure hunters. In response, private treasure hunters lobbied around against restricting personal use of metal detectors. It''s not hard 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 call folk treasure hunters irresponsible criminals, vandalizing important sites and selling national cultural relics for personal gain. But the treasure hunters accused archaeologists of pretending to be elites, deliberately blocking the spread of knowledge, and trying to limit popular activities to their own ivory tower.


    As a result, the relationship between archaeologists and folk treasure hunters collapsed. It turns out that some folk treasure hunters will inform the museum when they find the treasure, and may even lend the cultural relics to the museum for exhibition. After the relationship breaks down, they immediately withdraw their original cooperation. Some even destroyed some documents so that archaeologists could not study them.


    On the other hand, archaeologists refuse to identify cultural relics for folk treasure hunters.


    In fact, the relationship between archaeologists and folk treasure hunters is broken, and the consequences are very serious. First of all, a large number of cultural relics disappear from society because they only appear in private transactions.


    Because archaeologists can not see these cultural relics, there is no record, which leads to the lack of valuable historical information.


    Secondly, because the status of metal detectors is not justified, this has led to an increase in the number of secret illegal detection. Many illegal elements even carry out burglary on some cultural relics sites and loot all the precious cultural relics.


    Later, the distressed archaeologists had no choice but to swallow their anger and choose to compromise.


    Archaeologists and folk treasure hunters have reached an agreement that folk treasure hunters can use metal detection to search for treasure and gold, but they must be responsible and not destroy cultural relics.


    Archaeologists provide advice to folk treasure hunters on how to find treasure and how to make cultural relics archives. In return, archaeologists can get the relevant cultural relics archives information for research.


    This is also the reason why these archaeologists can''t stop looking at the 1350 pieces of precious cultural relics, but they can''t do anything without the owner of the treasure.


    "My dear count, these relics are indeed too precious. If we can, we hope that..."


    In the luxurious and open hall on the first floor, Arthur and other experts sat opposite each other. The officials of the treasure evaluation committee still had to open their mouth and try to persuade them. However, before they finished their words, they were interrupted by Arthur smiling and shaking his head. Although this is a bit impolite, it is impolite for the other party to ask for someone who knows that he is in trouble. Why should he Give each other face.


    "These are the heritage treasures of the Bolin family. They carry the glorious history of the Bolin family. I will keep a separate collection room for safekeeping. As for the rest, I have no intention of selling them.


    To inform you, it is only to fulfill the provisions and obligations of the treasure law


    Here, Arthur looked back at the butler Paul standing behind him. Paul handed an envelope to him. Arthur took the envelope and put it on the table. He leaned forward and pushed it to the middle of the table. He continued, "here are the photos and some video records of each cultural relic. This is the information of the cultural relics archives given to you. I hope it can help you with your research."


    "This -"


    the archaeologists on the scene were like eggplant beaten by frost, some of them were full of disappointment, but more anxious. After all, the historical value of these relics is too great, which is related to the history of Britain.


    "Dear count, can we study it for a period of time, and we can help you identify and value them in detail. I believe you also want to know the detailed information of these cultural relics, free of charge, totally free." The old scholar asked anxiously.


    "Sir, our Southampton museum is willing to help you identify and repair all the cultural relics free of charge, as long as you can let our museum exhibit."


    Hearing this request, the group of experts couldn''t help but stare at the archaeologists of Southampton Museum, who secretly hate to let the other party take the lead, but they did not show any weakness to fight for it."Your honor, please believe in the security and restoration technology of the British Museum, and we will restore them to their original appearance perfectly..."


    “。。。 We in Birmingham Museum have the most in-depth research on the relics of Anglo Saxon period. We can restore the original appearance. We hope to cooperate with the count. "


    Looking at the chaotic scene in front of him, you and I scrambled for the lease right of these precious cultural relics. Arthur''s eyes brightened slightly and his heart was secretly happy. He looked back at Paul, the housekeeper, and then coughed twice.


    "Cough, I understand what you mean. I am really thinking about cooperating with a certain Museum. After all, everyone has seen the extent of the damage of these relics, and I hope to see how they are restored.


    However, if you three museums are interested, I hope you three can come up with a restoration plan. I will choose one of them. I can promise that these cultural relics will be free for the selected museums to study and exhibit for one year. "


    Arthur wanted to let the museum repair it for free, but he didn''t expect that the three museums would be so considerate that he would save time.


    On hearing Arthur''s words, the archaeology professors of those universities stopped talking and looked at the other three experts who can represent the museum with a sigh of relief. As long as the relics are in the museum, they can also get close contact with the research.


    At this time, a waiter came to the steward Paul, whispered a few words in his ear. Paul, the housekeeper, nodded his head without changing his face. After that, he waved the waiter away, and he bent down and whispered in Arthur''s ear.


    Arthur''s mouth turned up slightly, his eyes full of smile, nodded and said, "let them come here. There are so many experts."


    "All right, Lord." Paul, the Butler, nodded slightly, and walked to the main gate of the castle.


    In the eyes of everyone''s curiosity, steward Paul quickly came back with two strangers. As Arthur stood up to meet the visitors, other experts also stood up in awe of each other.


    "Welcome to Boleyn manor."


    "Hello, boss." X2


    "ha ha, don''t be shy. Here, I''d like to introduce to you these experts from the treasure evaluation committee. Ladies and gentlemen, these two are reporters from southern daily echo. They came here to report the treasure incident." Arthur introduced to both sides with a smile on his face.


    On hearing that it was a reporter, ten experts looked at each other and saw a trace of helplessness in each other''s eyes. Especially the three experts from the museum, it seems that this important archaeological discovery can not be concealed, which undoubtedly adds a lot of variables to the lease of cultural relics.


    Arthur, of course, will not make such a major archaeological discovery unknown. The increase of fame will not only increase the fame of the Bolin family, but also increase the market value of Bolin manor. After all, the more famous the castle manor is, the more valuable it is.


    This archaeological discovery will definitely make Bolin manor famous in the world. In any way, it will bring benefits and no harm to Bolin manor.


    The experts who ask for help from Arthur are not stingy with their praise when they are interviewed by reporters. They use a lot of exaggerated words to describe the importance of these cultural relics.


    What scale is unprecedented and can''t be estimated. So far, it is the largest, amazing and frightening thing in Britain. It''s shocking and amazing. It''s totally speechless. It''s the most important discovery. It''s unheard of and of great significance... The two journalists were also awesome. They were all excited and excited to write down all these experts'' words and prepare to publish them wholly intact. This is definitely a big news story. It is still true that the boss is giving his strength.


    "Click -- click --"


    the two reporters originally wanted to take special pictures of the cultural relics. Before Arthur said anything, the three museum experts immediately jumped out to stop the reporters from exposing too many cultural relics. He was nervous about protecting his own things. Arthur couldn''t laugh or cry about it. It was also exposed. Who would go to the museum to see it.


    Under the guidance of butler Paul, he went to the excavation site and took a few photos of the pit. After that, the two reporters rushed to the newspaper club with the certification of experts, hoping to publish the big news as soon as possible and increase the sales of the newspaper.


    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 for the morning. It said: "the Anglo Saxon treasure excavated from the Earl''s house is the largest gold cultural relic in the whole Britain, with an unprecedented scale!"
