What's going on here? If you want to know, let Xiaobian reveal the secret for you:

According to British media reports, the small town of Hockson, located in Suffolk, England, was originally a small village with no name, but it was famous around the world for a major event that happened in 1992. The saga of the small town of Hawkeson begins with the unintentional act of a pair of good friends. At that time, Ericks, a farmer in the small town of Hockson, was building a log cabin, and in order to complete the progress as quickly as possible, Rouse invited his old friend Peter. The progress of the two people's work was really fast, and in just three days, the wooden house had been repaired. While finishing the work to count the tools, Rouse suddenly found that his hammer seemed to be missing, so the two began to look for the hammer, but the result was that neither of them found it, but they also had a big fight.
In order to find the hammer quickly, Peter immediately brought in the metal detector in the house and conducted a comprehensive search of Rouse's house. Interestingly, the moment the detector swept through the corner, the alarm began to make a harsh sound, and the two were overjoyed, and then began to dig. What the two people did not expect was that after some excavation, the two people did not find the hammer as they wished, but found a lot of ancient gold coins and silver coins in the pit, and the two people's interest in excavation became higher and higher, when all the treasures in the ground were cleaned up.
Just as the two were ecstatic about digging up the treasure, some staff from the British Museum knocked on Rouse's door. It turned out that the ecstatic cheers of the two digging the treasure alarmed the neighbors, who reported the two after learning the news, which attracted archaeologists to come to inspect. Experts saw the excavated gold coins in Rouse's home and took stock of all the artifacts. According to experts, the gold coins dug up by Rouse and Peter this time belong to the category of Roman ancient coins, which were minted around 400 AD. In addition to gold coins, there are also a large number of gold and silver jewelry in the treasure, including gold earrings and silver bracelets, as well as silver bowls, silver spoons and silver candlesticks, etc., and even more than 30 statues of pure gold. Later, it was inferred that this place was definitely not an ancient tomb, but the wealth deliberately buried by an ancient rich merchant, and as for the reason for burying the treasure, it was most likely because of the threat of war.
It is worth mentioning that during the excavation of the treasure, archaeologists also found 4 special pepper bottles, which were designed as "Hercules and Anteus", "goats", and "hounds catching rabbits". Of course, the most interesting of these pepper bottles is the "Hawkeson Pepper Bottle", which is also known locally as the "Queen Pepper Bottle" because of its own image of a Roman noblewoman.
The appearance of the noble lady on the "Hoxon pepper bottle" can almost be described as an "ancient Roman intellectual woman", her face is good and her eye sockets are deep, her eyes are full of knowledge, her hair, lips, chest and other parts are covered with dots of gold, and the color of her light is pleasing. There is no doubt that such a delicate and valuable pepper bottle must be a special object for the ancient Roman nobles or rich merchants, after all, gold is the exclusive use of the nobility, and pepper was a rare spice at that time, and its users were often either rich or expensive.
Readers may be surprised by the appearance of the Hawkeson pepper bottle, but you certainly don't know that the Hockson pepper bottle has a more amazing mechanism setting. According to archaeologists, the hole disc under the Hawkeson pepper bottle can be rotated, and there are three rotating gears, one is the large hole filling mode, the second gear is the middle hole pouring mode, and the third gear is the uniform spraying mode, and the three can be easily switched to meet the different needs of users. Experts admit that the Hawkeson pepper bottle is completely a "high-tech" product from more than a thousand years ago.
It can be seen that Rome is a great country, he and the Han Dynasty were the two poles of the time, looking at this pepper bottle, everyone believes that Rome's science and technology has indeed reached an astonishing level. Modern science and technology are changing with each passing day, but there is a bad behavior in China, that is, copycat imitation, that is, some modern pepper bottles, and there is no design for more than a thousand years, so unenterprising behavior, if not corrected, is bound to have adverse consequences.
