Road to becoming the wealthiest: Starting From Treasure Hunting in the Cabinets-Chapter 74 - There Really is Hidden Treasure

Had Sean really found the treasure?

Sean put away the book and photos and then reached into the cabinet again, but he didn’t find anything else.

He instructed Jason Caldwell:

“Keep this cabinet. You guys go and take the garbage from the car and dispose of it now.”

And then he said to Monica Brown:

“Later, I will look for it first. If I really find the treasure, please call Mr. George to let him know. It’s best if he can come over and take a look.”

After all, if the treasure was found, two shares would belong to him.

Monica nodded, already too shocked to know what to say.

When she introduced Sean to this job, she mainly heard that most treasure hunters were not as good as they seemed, often not making money or even losing money.

Making big money was definitely a rarity!

So one thousand dollars a day was already an excellent opportunity.

She genuinely hadn’t expected Sean to have found a treasure map!

This was indeed a surprise!

With the photo in one hand and the paper in the other, Sean walked through the forest to the farmland. He began searching for the three locations on the treasure map, comparing them with the photograph.

However, on the surface, he was comparing the locations. In reality, he activated his Sky Eye and started searching underground.

This was Sean’s first time using Sky Eye to look underground.

By his estimates, if he could see through the soil this way, he could see almost ten meters deep. If it was rock, it would probably be three to five meters.

However, that was enough for him.

The farmland was vast, and the manor and forest had changed considerably. Sean compared the surroundings for a while, but he had not yet confirmed the locations.

Monica Brown and Emily Taylor had been following him, and at this moment, seeing his serious expression, Monica couldn’t help but say:

“Can’t find it? Do you need us to ask Uncle George for help?”

“No need for that,” Sean shook his head. “I can roughly determine the location, but I need Mr. George’s permission to dig here.”

With the Sky Eye scan, Sean had already located one of the treasure spots, a little over a meter deep, buried beneath the ground. There were two large iron buckets, tightly wrapped in oilcloth, containing eight Winchester M1887 shotguns and two tightly packed iron boxes of ammunition.

Once he found one treasure location, calculating the positions of the other two based on the treasure map became much easier.

Sean first searched for the location where the gold coins were hidden. After all, regardless of the circumstances, gold coins were always more attractive than supplies. Besides, those supplies had been there for over a century, who knew if they were still usable?

The treasure hunters didn’t disappoint Sean. There were also two iron buckets at the gold coin site. But inside one of the nearly one-meter-high iron buckets was an almost 20cm square iron box.

Inside the iron box were about 100 gold coins and more than 200 silver coins.

It was a medium-sized fortune.

Sean was excited inside, but he didn’t show it on the surface.

Sean found a stick to mark this spot, deliberately about half a meter away from the iron bucket, and went to find the third point.

The third point had two iron buckets, and inside were early canisters, and the Sky Eye estimated they seemed to have not been damaged?

Well, Sean didn’t know if they were damaged, but the iron bucket was basically sealed, blocking off air, and the can itself was also sealed, so it might not be damaged?

Monica Brown walked over quickly and said:

“Uncle George said to dig first, and he’ll be back soon!”

Let’s dig then!

Sean found an iron shovel in the warehouse and began to dig.

The first to be dug out were the two iron buckets containing the Winchester M1887 shotguns.

When the iron bucket was cleared, George had arrived.

Monica Brown and Emily Taylor saw the iron bucket dug out and were very curious.

George also looked very surprised when he saw the iron buckets, and he laughed:

“Sean, you are a true treasure hunter! I never thought you could find the treasure buried by the original master of this manor!”

“Now it’s up to Mr. George to open it!” Sean reached out and handed the crowbar brought by Jason Caldwell to George’s hand.

George understood the goodwill Sean had expressed and felt that this young man was very good!

Sean took out his mobile phone while George was prying open the iron bucket and took a few timely photos.

“Sean, you are very considerate!” George pried open the iron bucket, but instead of looking inside immediately, he said to Sean: “Please send me a copy of the photos later!”

Sean originally intended to keep it as a souvenir for George, because George only wanted 20% of the return, right?

After George finished talking, he began to take things out of the bucket.

Eight well-preserved Winchester M1887 shotguns, and when George unwrapped the oil cloth, he was delighted:

“I want two! This gun is too powerful! It’s rare to see such a well-preserved Winchester M1887!”

This was almost a new gun. Or it was a new gun in itself.

The sun was already setting, and Sean told George, and he went with Jason and the others to excavate the second treasure point.

Monica Brown and Emily Taylor followed immediately.

They weren’t interested in guns, but they were mainly interested in gold coins – women and dragons were both resistant to shiny things.

Jason and Malawi Perez dug about a meter down to the spot marked by Sean and found nothing. Sean, who was clearing the soil with Eiris Perez, said:

“Try digging around with the iron shovel.”

He regretted saying, “I knew I should have brought a metal detector.”

Jason obeyed orders and shoveled the soil to the sides at the bottom of the pit, Malawi helped as well.

Soon, Malawi’s iron shovel hit something hard.

With a “clang”, those above were thrilled!

There was something there!

Jason heard the sound too, and immediately turned around and began digging with Malawi.

Soon, a corner of the iron bucket was exposed.

The people above immediately showed excited expressions! If the iron bucket exists, it means the treasure is inside!

After that, the speed of the excavation increased significantly, and in about 20 minutes, the entire iron bucket was dug out.

Sean and the others lifted the iron bucket to the ground together, and then.

George laughed and said:

“Next comes the moment to witness the miracle!”
