The cave above his head is not straight up and down, so Yang Jing can easily climb up even if he uses a static rope.
After waiting below for more than ten minutes, Chris lit a burning stick and threw it vigorously, and after seeing that the burning stick still continued to burn, Yang Jing climbed up with Gege on his back.
Of course, both men wore gas masks just to be on the safe side.
Gege can't climb up, but Yang Jing's physique and strength are no problem, it's easy for him to go up with Gege on his back, so Yang Jing became the second senior brother again.
This is also a natural cave, more than three meters high, about seven or eight meters in circumference, there are several cracks from the top of this cave all the way up, I don't know where it extends, but from the cracks continue to drip water, and when you get close to these cracks, you can vaguely feel the presence of wind.
Obviously, these cracks are supposed to lead to the outside, and because it is limestone, the snowmelt water flows in through the cracks, and then over an unknown number of thousands of years, finally forming this cave and the cave below.
It's just that Yang Jing is really hard to understand, how did the "sea snake" Boardman find such a remote cave.
Anyway, Yang Jing asked himself, if he had changed his words, he might not have found such a place.
None of this is important, the important thing is that there are glittering things scattered all over this cave.
Gold coins, utensils made of gold, almost filled the floor of this cave.
Among them, you can see a lot of decaying wood.
Obviously, the gold was supposed to be packed in wooden crates or barrels, but after so many years, the outer packaging had long since decayed, and the gold was naturally scattered.
Gege's eyes lit up when he took off his gas mask, "Wow, Yang Jing, are we rich?"
That's a lot of gold."
Although Gege has been clothed and fed since she was a child, she has never seen this kind of scene, and this kind of scene is still full of shock to her.
Yang Jing nodded with a smile and said, "It's really rich, daughter-in-law, you can pick up whatever you like."
It's all ours!
” Gege screamed excitedly, tiptoed over.
This girl is worried about stepping on the gold coins on the ground.
Chris, and then they climbed up, and when they saw the full field of gold, they screamed.
In front of this kind of shocking treasure, it is really difficult to calm down.
Even if there wasn't a lot of gold here, it was a legendary pirate treasure that the gang had found in person, so of course they were excited.
They also have the right to be excited!
A bunch of people were laughing and jumping on top, and Dabai below didn't know what was going on, it only knew that the guy who was the best for him was gone?
So, bursts of roars sounded below, Yang Jing had no choice, and went down to appease Da Bai again, so that he obediently lay down and guarded.
When Yang Jing came up again, the gang had already begun to clean up the scattered gold.
Gege flushed with excitement on his face, took Yang Jing's arm and asked, "Yang Jing, I don't think you're very excited?"
Don't you have these treasures in your sights?
” Yang Jing said with a smile: "It's not that I don't pay attention to it, but I'm almost immune to gold now."
When I went to the Caribbean last year, I found a sunken yacht and found a full forty tons of gold on it.
There's a lot more gold than that's right in front of you. ” This gold looks like a lot, but Yang Jing, you estimate that it is two or three tons at most.
Gold coins and gold utensils are not the same as gold bars, and the weight of gold bars far exceeds that of gold coins and gold products in the same volume, so these gold may seem like a lot, but the actual weight is not heavy.
Yang Jing, who has experienced the baptism of Mu Tianbo's treasure and Gaddafi's treasure, how can he look at these golds?
"Is that the gold you entrusted Mr.
Zhao to sell?"
Yang Jing mentioned this matter to Gege, so Gege knew.
"Hmm."
Yang Jing nodded, and was about to continue to explain, when suddenly his eyes moved, and he hurriedly said, "Lin Zi, bring those gold coins in your hand and let me take a look." ” Lin Dan was stunned for a moment, holding more than twenty gold coins in both hands and raising them, Yang Jing nodded.
Among the more than 20 gold coins that Lin Dan brought over, most of them were gold coins minted in Spain in the 16th and 17th centuries, and there were also a few French gold coins of the same period, gold Louis, British gold coins, and Dutch lion gold coins, these gold coins from different countries actually appeared together, which is enough to prove that this treasure should be Barthalomew after robbing the port of Trebasi, and handed over all the gold obtained from the robbery to Boardman and sent it here to hide.
Although the port of Trebasi was controlled by the Spaniards, there were British, French, Dutch and even Germans in the port.
Basalomew's audacity took the entire port of Trebasi, and none of the merchants from all over the world could escape, and all the gold coins they carried naturally fell into Basalomew's hands.
However, this is not the main reason for attracting Yang Jing, what attracted Yang Jing was that in this handful of gold coins, it was a gold coin that was larger than other gold coins.
Most of the other gold coins are about 25 millimeters in diameter, but the diameter of this gold coin is about 40 millimeters, and such a large gold coin is placed together with other gold coins, just like a one-yuan coin and a bunch of five-cent coins in the national currency, which is particularly conspicuous.
Yang Jing gently pinched the gold coin, just glanced at it, and immediately identified the identity of the gold coin.
This gold coin, with a shield on both sides, turned out to be a rare gold Spanish figure-of-eight Escudo.

Escudo, which means "shield" in Spanish, is a unit of currency.
At a time when Spain was roaming the world, this currency was not only used in Spain itself, but was also the main currency in Spain's colonies.
At that time, in addition to the escudos, the gold coins of Spain also included the gold coins of Dobloon, which was the highest face value among the Spanish gold coins, and the gold coins of Dobroon could be exchanged for eight gold coins; There is also a gold coin called Pistor, which has a face value equivalent to two escudos.
However, at the end of the 16th century, the Spanish royal family issued a gold coin similar to a commemorative coin, called the Royal Escudo Gold Coins, which is very large, larger than all the gold coins in circulation, so the gold content is also very large.
The number of such gold coins is not very large, so there are very few in circulation.
In modern times, in addition to the only 20 royal figure-of-eight gold coins preserved in the world's major museums, there are only nine such coins recovered from a Spanish sailing ship that sank in 1715 from a salvage company from Florida, USA, in July 2015.
In other words, there are only 29 of these Spanish royal figure-of-eight gold coins from the end of the 16th century in the world.
At the World Numismatic Collection auction in New York earlier this year, one such gold coin fetched a whopping $4.56 million.
In other words, the value of such a figure-of-eight gold coin can be worth the value of other gold coins in this gold coin.
In Lin Dan's gold coin, in addition to this figure-of-eight escudo, the remaining gold coins are worth between $10,000 and $20,000.
In other words, Lin Dan's 20 or so gold coins, if they are auctioned, are worth about $800,000 to $900,000!
And how many gold coins are there?
And how many gold royal figure-of-eight escudo coins are there?
Not a lot, just find ten gold royal escudo coins among these coins, and all the cost of the trip will be back!
Not to mention that among these gold coins, in addition to the royal figure-of-eight gold escudo, there are many other gold coins with great collectible value.
It was as if Yang Jing was looking for it himself, and after just a short while, he picked out two Dutch Ducats minted in 1652 among these scattered gold coins.
The Ducate was the first currency in circulation minted by the merchants of Venice, Italy, and was very popular with European merchants in the 13th century because of its high gold content of 997.
Some European countries also mint Ducats as their national currency, such as Switzerland and the Netherlands.
At an auction in Geneva, Switzerland, in 2014, a Ducat, struck in 1741, sold for a whopping 800,000 Swiss francs, worth more than the figure-of-eight escudo.
The two Ducatt gold coins minted by the Dutch found by Yang Jing are also extremely rare gold coins.
This Dutch Ducat's value may not be as valuable as the Swiss Ducat, but if it were to be auctioned, it would be worth no less than the Spanish Royal Figure Eight Escudo that was just discovered!
Moreover, Yang Jing also discovered a gold coin called Caroline that circulated in Germany in the 16th and 17th centuries.
The collectible value of this gold coin is not low, and the value of one is about 160,000 euros!
There were at least two thousand gold coins scattered all over the place, and even if a tenth of them were found, the value of these gold coins alone would be more than 100 million dollars!
But don't forget, there's not just these coins, but there are many more utensils made of gold.
These are clearly gold objects scavenged from Latin America, all of which have a distinctly Central and South American style.
All kinds of gold utensils, gold jewelry, and even gold weapons and gold armor are all here!
Not to mention anything else, just the golden armor that is about the height of a real person, if you take it out, it will be absolutely valuable!
If you go to auction, you're embarrassed to talk about it without tens of millions of dollars!
