As one of the four ancient civilizations, China has a long history and culture. From Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties to the present, although history has disappeared in the long river of years, it has left some traces. With the development of modernization, cultural relics are often found. One of the most famous is the construction of Xi 'an subway, when many ancient tombs were excavated. However, in our story today, the hero is an old scavenger-

The old scavenger picked up 7 Jin of iron bars and sold them for 12000 yuan.

This happened in Inner Mongolia a long time ago. At that time, near the Spring Festival, an old man got up as usual, ready to start a busy day.

The cold wind in winter, like a dagger, can blow people to pieces. The area where the elderly work is the suburbs, and almost no one lives. He comes here every day, picks up some discarded household appliances and takes them to the recycling station to sell.

On this day, the old man is preparing to go home. Suddenly, something flashed through my eyes. Going forward, I saw some rusty iron bars.

At that time, a catty of iron was about 1 yuan, and the old man was happy. Today, this has not been in vain. He picked up seven iron bars and went home, intending to burn them. People used to use this method to remove rust.

As a result, this iron bar is getting brighter and brighter. The color of Huang Cancan, gradually revealed. The old man discovered that this is not an ordinary iron bar, but real gold.

Then, he quickly returned to the place where he found the iron bar to see if there was anything missing. Put them together at sixes and sevens, and finally picked up seven pounds of gold.

Before dawn, the old man took the gold to a gold shop in the market. The owner of the gold shop said, "There are too many impurities in these iron bars, and they are not pure gold objects. They must be melted and purified. "

In the end, these bars earned four kilograms of gold, and the old man earned 12000 yuan. At that time, "ten thousand households" were extremely rare. It didn't take long for the old man to find gold, and it spread all over the country.

Experts call: at least worth 300 million yuan.

The magical experience of the old man quickly attracted the attention of the local cultural relics department. Relevant personnel immediately drove to the elderly, and made a field trip to the place where the iron bars appeared according to the description of the appearance of the iron bars by the elderly.

Subsequently, experts repeatedly tested the refined gold. Finally, it is concluded that this is not an iron bar at all. But the gold wares of Xiongnu period are very precious historical relics.

Therefore, experts infer that the value of these gold is 300 million yuan. However, because of this cultural relic, the old man accidentally picked it up and did not choose to hand it in, but melted it.

This rare Xiongnu gold disappeared like this, and everyone present sighed. I wonder if the old man will regret looking at this 12000 yuan after knowing the truth.

In fact, China has experienced thousands of years of ups and downs, and there may still be many cultural relics wandering among the people. When we are not sure, we should report the cultural relics to experts. Only in this way can we contribute to the value of the cultural relic itself, instead of ruining this precious cultural relic just for personal gain like the old man.
