Chapter 114 Birch Cent
Henry used the old method and looked for the answer on the Internet.

Soon, his eyes widened slightly.

"This coin is called the Birch cent and is worth about two million dollars. My God!" Henry couldn't help but scream.

All eyes were instantly drawn to it, except for Lin Yuan. He already knew the value of it and did not make a fuss.

"Let me see." My uncle snatched the phone away.

Although this action was a bit unreasonable, no one said anything to him. After all, he was Lin Yuan's uncle, and no one could accept it even if it was a little excessive.

I saw on my phone that this coin was the first coin forged in the United States and one of only seven specially made coins currently in existence.

The Birch cent is named after its designer, Robert Birch.

On one side of the coin is a portrait of a young woman with curly hair, surrounded by a circle of large characters that read "Mother of Liberal Science and Industry".

When the coin was first designed, the U.S. Senate suggested using Washington's portrait, but the fledgling House of Representatives insisted on using a woman's portrait in order to compete with the Senate, thus making the coin rare.

On the reverse side of the coin, a laurel wreath surrounds the value of "1 cent", and the laurel wreath is surrounded by the embossed words "The United States of America".

To prevent counterfeiting, the words "1/100" are cast on the lower end of the laurel wreath.

A hundred years ago, this coin would have been worth $1000.

One hundred years later, it has appreciated to about two million US dollars.

Paul was fine, as this was not the first day he had gone treasure hunting with Lin Yuan and he had seen the world.

David and Tony gasped.

God! In such a short period of time, their boss has earned two million dollars. Isn't that faster than some bosses of listed companies?

However, they were relieved when they learned that this was the earliest one-cent coin in the United States, extremely rare, of special significance, and worth more than two million US dollars.

It's good to follow the boss. Just a sip of soup is enough to make them rich.

David was thinking about buying a gift for his wife in a couple of days, as it was their wedding anniversary. In previous years, he didn't have much money in his pocket, so he usually just gave her a bouquet of flowers for their wedding anniversary.

Now that he has made some money, he wants to buy his wife a substantial gift.

Lin Yuan threw the pistol to Tony.

Tony unloaded it and saw that there were still bullets inside.

"This kind of pistol is not good. The firing force is a bit too strong. It's okay for men to use it, but it's very easy for women to accidentally discharge it." Tony said.

To be honest, the thing he disliked the most in this iron can was the pistol.

He didn't know that if this were China, the pistol would be the most attractive, especially for men. When opening the tin can, the first thing they would take would most likely be gold, followed by the pistol.

"Fill the soil and let's go quickly." said my uncle.

Because he was older and had a higher seniority, he didn't have to do any work, and basically just directed others. Sometimes, even Lin Yuan would lend a hand or do odd jobs, but the uncle would just stand there with his hands behind his back, completely acting as a leader.

David nodded: "Yes! This kind of thing is probably left by thieves or robbers. It is stolen property. Hurry up and wipe out the traces and leave."

He has a strong sense of crisis.

Everyone was afraid to delay and immediately filled the hole with soil and restored it to its original state.

During this time, some people might have seen them from afar, but they didn't pay much attention. Who doesn't come here to dig? So Lin Yuan and his friends' behavior was not abrupt and would not attract much attention.

Besides, everyone is busy looking for treasure! Who will watch you? Lin Yuan and the others didn't know that a few days later a black man came back here, dug the ground frantically, and finally roared in despair. Those things were stolen by him and had been buried here for many years.

At first, after he stole it, he didn't dare to use it at all, thinking that if he took it out after ten or eight years, it should be fine.

Lin Yuan and his companions continued to move forward and saw two groups of people fighting.

When I listened closer, I realized that two groups of people had found the underground entrance at the same time and were now fighting for ownership!
Lin Yuan scanned the treasure-hunting instrument, but there was no movement at all.

The two groups were equally strong and in the end neither could do anything to the other, so they decided to explore together and share the spoils equally.

The main reason was that they saw Lin Yuan and his group coming, and they didn't want a third party to intervene and take a share of the pie, so they quickly reached a consensus.

"Forget it, let's not get involved." Lin Yuan stopped David.

Judging from David's actions, he was about to take out the pistol he had just obtained. With weapons in hand, it would be reasonable for them to have a share of the pie. Who would disagree?

OK! Hearing Lin Yuan's words, David put his hand down, but he felt a little sorry and regretful.

In his opinion, if you have guns, you must have a share of the pie, whether you agree or not.

The two gangs also noticed the pistol on David's waist, and their faces changed. However, when they saw that David did not make the next move, they were slightly relieved.

If David really wanted to interfere, there was nothing they could do. They just felt a little regretful and asked themselves why he didn't bring a gun with him when he went out.
The two groups quickly went in and were soon dumbfounded.

The underground space is quite large, but it is full of canned food and other daily necessities. If you don't know, you might think it is a supermarket warehouse!
Now, they are a little confused.

This thing is tasteless and it's a pity to throw it away. It's a bit useless!

If you want it, you need to spend a lot of effort to move it out, transport it away, and resell it. Moving it out and transporting it away are easy, but reselling it is a bit difficult.

It’s not that it can’t be sold, it’s just that it’s very troublesome.

All in all, the cost is huge and the profit is very small, or even no profit. These are all cheap daily necessities!

"How about you give us $20,000 and we don't want any of this." One of the group said.

The other group shook their heads and said, "If you give us $20,000, we'll quit. Forget it, just give us $15,000."

He also took a step back and took the initiative to "bargain".

"Then let's move it together! We'll sell it for as much as we can."

"Okay! This side is ours, and that side is yours. Is that ok with you?"

"can!"

The two sides discussed it again.

Although these things have never been used and have not expired, they can only be sold at a low price after they are taken out.

It can be seen that this is a doomsday fortress built by someone who is bored. These items, especially the food, are for dealing with the coming of the doomsday.

Lin Yuan and the others were speechless when they saw the various canned foods that the two gangs brought up.

Canned food has always been accused of many things in China - not tasty, not fresh, too many preservatives, loss of nutrients, carcinogenic nitrites, etc.

In the United States, and even in the entire Western countries, canned food is very popular and well received.
