  • That's the way to dig things up in China. Western archeologists will probably spend months on the same stuff with tiny brushes and pricks

  • @cdltpx yep, if i found 800 year old coins, i would pick one by one

  • Why can't the commie chinese and russian pigs stop supporting criminal north koreans???

  • @bergen747 haha! lol , you might be right :)))

  • @143mark6275 research Zhongguo wushu or Shaolin Wushu these are very ancient martial arts. its believed it all started when bandits wanted to steal rice from the farmers they needed to protect themselves so they used the stick to beet the hell out of them. later it became a sport who was the best stick fighter. Wushu is the parent of Japanese kung fu fighter or samurai ninja just Google it xD

  • @14842 wow i didn't know that! can you send me a link to your sources? i want to read more about that :)

  • Regardless of the material, it might be worth something just for how old it is.

  • The site is ancient China's equivalent of Federal Reserve. During Song Dynasy, the Chinese empire kept minting coins to pay soldiers to fight for expansion wars. People were taxed to the full and money became worthless. The empire collapsed. They minted so many coins at that time that they remain worthless after 800 years. Thus the shovel.

  • That's really cool! It probably was a bank of some sort.

  • that is worth alot of dough to buy more chinese Mc Ds & Burger King for life LOL
