Chapter 373: Chapter 281: Coming to the Door

Sean Knight immediately consulted Kathy.

"Mr. Sean Knight, you must know the British Museum, right?"

"Yes, I know." Although he had never been there, Sean knew very well that the museum houses excellent treasures plundered from the empire all over the world, including many Chinese relics.

"Many people wonder if there are any British relics in the British Museum, and actually there are." Kathy handed Sean a cup of tea and smiled, "It comes from Wales, a three-thousand-year-old golden shawl."

She pointed to the battle skirt and said:

"The golden shawl comes from the Molde area in North Wales and is called the Molde Shawl. The craftsmanship of this battle skirt is exactly the same, both wildly hammered and engraved, and the patterns are similar."

Sean was puzzled:

"It is said that the earliest British history can be traced back to the Celtic Tribal Era, which was a period of legends, not history, like our era of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.

That should be around 1000 BC, about three thousand years ago, during the tribal era, when stone and pottery items were being used.

So how could such exquisite gold products have appeared hundreds or even thousands of years before that?"

Sean’s doubts were not without reason. After all, many Western histories are either based on legends, poetry, or even the imaginative creations of some people in the Middle Ages.

Basically, there is no such continuous historical account like that of China.

So what is the story with this golden battle skirt and the golden shawl in the history museum?

Kathy agreed and said:

"That is one of the issues that plagues many historians. The golden shawl was excavated from a mine in the 1880s, and at the time it was still on the body of the tomb owner. It was then smashed and divided among the miners.

At that time, there were some other items in the tomb that had been removed as well.

The local government later discovered these items and started to trace their origins, but it was more than a hundred years ago, and no clues were left, not even the skeletons of the tomb’s master."

Moreover, historians have not found any ruins in the Molde area of Wales to support the existence of the artifact... It has become an oddity."

Speaking of this, she looked at the battle skirt under Sean’s hand and sighed:

"I never thought I would see something similar here!"

Sean told the story of the battle skirt, and Kathy also found it incredibly fascinating. It’s simply hard to believe!

Sean was still unsure and felt that he needed someone to appraise the battle skirt.

Of course, if someone offered the right price, selling it would also be an option.

The next day, Sean went to the freight yard with Elijah Hastings and others to ask Jason to check where the container filled with plaster had come from.

Jason was organizing the layout of some containers for tomorrow’s auction.

Hearing Sean’s order, he immediately went to look for information. In a little while, he brought the container’s shipping documents.

"Boss, I guessed these containers might come in handy when buying them, so I brought all these shipping documents.">

Jason was a little proud, smiling and handing the documents to Sean Knight with both hands.

Sean took a look and found that the container indeed came from the United Kingdom, but there was no sender or recipient information. It was shipped only to New York Port.

There are many containers like this. They are sent and then someone picks them up with the delivery order.

It seems that it is indeed likely that these containers came from the same place as the Molde Shawl!

Sean was a little excited. Such items may only be antiques if they are kept in his hands, but they can be of great use to those who are eager to prove the ancient history of the British Isles!

"Bosuns, can you come to the container auction tomorrow?" Jason saw that Sean Knight had finished reading the shipping documents and asked a little cautiously, "What am I going to see?"

"What’s the matter?" Sean saw that Jason had something on his mind and asked, "What am I coming to see?"

"Yesterday, you discovered a golden product in the container you bid on, and the news has spread. I guess many people will come tomorrow to try their luck. If you participated in the auction tomorrow, it would surely attract more people."

Jason explained and then chuckled:

"Bosuns, with your presence, at least for the next month, the popularity of my container auctions will be very strong! When the yard is popular, you’re making money, and I can make a little more too!"

Sean did not expect Jason to be so straightforward, but since he said so and Sean had nothing to do, he would go and take a look the next day.

Before the auction started on the second day, Sean asked Jason to adjust the container positions, arrange them in separate piles, and ensure that there would be popular items for auction in the coming period even if he wasn’t there.

As Jason said, because the golden battle skirt had been found in the container yesterday and it was obviously not a set-up – there was no need to make things so complicated and put the gold products into the plaster statues.

If Sean or Jason were setting it up, it would be simpler to just put valuable machinery or a car in the container, which would be very eye-catching.’

Mr. Madden, Diana Smith, Elder and Little Joey, and other veteran treasure hunters all rushed here.

Seeing Sean, they all greeted him.

Sean is now considered a rising star in the treasure hunting world, involved in multiple treasure-hunting areas, with much higher status than those who hunt for container treasures.
