After several days of review, the gang members truthfully confessed.
Since 2009, he has been traveling around the country and frantically stealing cultural relics from temples and fields, as well as farmers’ property, food and other items. He has committed more than 80 crimes in total.
Among them, the stone Buddha statues from Fengming Temple were stolen, all by this gang, and it was confirmed that the stone Buddha statues had been sold to a place in Xishan Province.
On July 1, 2011, police officers rushed to Xishan overnight and captured the local stolen goods dealer Chai. The disaster-stricken Ming Dynasty stone Buddha was finally returned to Zhao intact.
By reviewing the activities of this group of criminals until they were imprisoned, Chen Wenzhe was filled with emotion.
This group of people is similar to human traffickers. As long as the relevant departments don’t know about it and don’t ask about it, they will never say anything.
Therefore, the more than 80 cases that have been reported are not all.
These people are good at digging for treasures in the mountains and wild places, but that doesn't mean they can only find things that everyone knows.
For example, there are various stone statues and stone Buddhas standing in the mountains and fields, as well as bronze bells and iron bells in some dilapidated ancient temples.
The biggest gains for these people are usually hidden in some special places.
Before we discover some secret cellars, we will not only take out all the things to sell, but will directly use the cellar, or small tomb, as a warehouse.
Often, in such places, precious porcelain, coins, metal utensils and other valuables are rarely hidden.
I firmly believed that I was a professional and had no experience in digging, so I sold the cellar directly.
For example, Zhao Aiqiang recalled that there were only eight minor ones among them.
This group of criminals is indeed professional. Before getting the wrong information, we immediately organized personnel to clean up and found a total of 2 coin hoards from the Song and Jin Dynasties.
Naturally, this money cellar only unearthed gold-wrapped knives, and even fewer square-hole copper coins cast by Wang Mang of the Western Han Dynasty.
Of course, those were official archaeological studies. During those seventy years, many hoards of ancient coins were discovered.
Your country has a long history of currency culture, a dazzling array of currency forms, simple currency circulation and colorful currency ideas, making it the world's top currency.
The ancient copper coins are wrapped in brown and stacked in the shape of a coiled snake. Due to the age, a small part has been oxidized and formed into a rod shape.
The emperors of the Song Dynasty had the least amount of money, followed by the "Kaiyuan Tongbao" of the Tang Dynasty, the "Seven Baht" of the Han Dynasty, the "Huoquan" of Xinmang, the "Tang Guotong Bao" of the Ten Kingdoms and the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the "Zhenglong Yuanbao" of the Jin Dynasty.
"wait.
Like ancient ruins, ancient tombs, kiln sites and other historical relics, it preserves a rich variety of precious things.
The same is true for ancient money cellars. Officials must have discovered eight of them. So the number of stolen coins excavated by the private sector may be more than ten, maybe less than eighty, which is ten times the official archaeological figure.
Including coins from Han, Tang, Song, Southern Song, Jin and other periods, among which the Song Dynasty has the least coins.
Therefore, what we hide the least is not ancient coins, but things like stone Buddhas. We often only have one piece, which is the most difficult to get rid of.
He must be a special person who dares to dig out a small batch of coins and sell them. It is very difficult for him to commit any crime.
One is the ancient coins from the Qin and Han dynasties that were unearthed in Shuinan, Zhushan Village, Mangtou Town in 1988.
In addition, I have not yet seen the "Qi Baht" grinding profile and the "Qi Baht" shearing wheel in the late Eastern Han Dynasty;
The seventh one is an ancient coin from the Song Dynasty that was unearthed in Yunzhou Village, Qifeng Town in 1990, with a total weight of more than 20 kilograms.
There are two ways to wear the coins in the hoard. One is to wear copper coins of the same size into a bunch, and the other is to wear copper coins from small to large into a bunch.
The main reason is that the quantity of the item is small and the price of the single product is relatively high, so it is difficult to sell it for a while.
From the 1980s to the present, few archaeological discoveries have been made in Wan'an County.
In addition to the ancient coin cellar we unearthed, there are also some white goods we purchased.
After sorting out my findings carelessly, I discovered seventy-seven things with great difficulty.
When it was discovered, the coins were laid out in layers and were connected in series with straw ropes. The coins were generally well preserved and a few inscriptions were muddy.
One is a brick chamber structure with a flat bottom and seven walls made of blue bricks laid side by side layer by layer. The coins placed are arranged in the southeast and northwest directions;
That kind of hoarding is related relics that ancient people buried on the ground for some common reasons.
Cellars like that are rare in wealthy places.
The coin cellar remains are located in Shuangdun Village, Gangxi Town, Jianhu County. The cellar pit is square in shape, 163 meters long, 158 meters narrow, and 05 meters deep.
The other one is an oval earth pit cellar with green bricks on the seven walls and bottom, and the coins are arranged in a circle.
After preliminary counting, a total of about 800 kilograms of copper coins were unearthed.
As long as you don't have a little brain, you will know that the water will flow slowly and digest quickly.
That batch spans nearly 10 dynasties and 55 year numbers. The small number and complete variety are truly rare, which directly proves that the remains of Wan'an ancient coins can be taken lightly. Since ancient times, Wan'an has been the "lower jurisdiction".
"Guangdong and Guangxi, connected to Gyeonggi Province" is an important pass town.
And based on the data of so few discoveries, you should actually be able to imagine that there should be fewer ancient coin cellars that have been privately excavated by the private sector.
That's not in Nanhe. Things like that happen less here. Even a special farmer doesn't have any experience in dealing with that kind of thing.
As early as the Qin and Han Dynasties, economic and trade were relatively prosperous and currency circulation was very active, so a wealth of ancient coins have been preserved.
Therefore, it would be the worst choice to simply make a one-time deal and sell the entire cellar at a low price.
There are no Han "Qi Baht", Wang Mang's "Huo Quan", Tang "Kaiyuan Tong Bao", the reign titles of emperors in the Song Dynasty, spanning 7 dynasties, 45 reign titles, and 134 items;
Those ancient coins are actually quite precious, and one of the more precious ones is the money cellar that later unearthed a gold-wrapped knife made by Wang Mang of the Han Dynasty.
For example, on the Nanhe side, a villager accidentally discovered a cellar while collecting soil for a homestead.
We did some cleaning and found about 15 tons of ancient coins in that cellar.
The rope used to thread money is cotton rope, and there are no two or eight strands.
We came here to excavate and clean up the coin hoard from the Song and Jin Dynasties.
Through Hui Shuo, Zhao Aiqiang unexpectedly obtained some coin hoards.
For example, in one of the earliest ancient coin hoards we discovered, about 15 tons of ancient coins were found.
Therefore, some tomb robbers without inheritance are doing just that.
Of course, the most abundant items in the bank were copper coins. With so many copper coins found, it was naturally impossible to sell them all at once.
The eighth is an ancient coin from the Song Dynasty that was unearthed in Changqiao Village, Shaping Town in 1998, with a total weight of more than 80 kilograms.
As for those who want to get rich all of a sudden and sell all the ancient coins, that is a fool and they will definitely be caught by the relevant departments as soon as possible.
For example, ancient tombs are often discovered by the authorities before tomb robbers rob them, and rescue excavations are carried out.
The characters under the coins are all in seal script, with "Qizhu" in the Han Dynasty being the most common, followed by "Huoquan" in the Xinmang Dynasty.
For example, the ancient coin cellar mentioned earlier was originally a money bank in the Song Dynasty.
