The items were mainly gold and silver wares, including coins, ingots, tableware, jewellery and clothing, among which the most noticeable is a square gold seal with a tortoise-shaped knob, believed to have been owned by a hereditary prince of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). It is the first time that this type of cultural relic, extremely valuable, has ever been found in China. Measuring 10cm long and 3cm thick, the seal contains 95 percent gold, with carved Chinese characters "Shu Shi Zi Bao". "Shu" is the alternative name of present-day Sichuan, "Shi Zi" means the first son of the lineal decendants of a prince.

This year's latest round of excavations lasted for over three months from January to April and covered an area of 5,000 square metres. During the first two rounds at the Ming battlefield site in 2017 and 2018, archaeologists unearthed more than 42,000 artefacts from the riverbed.
The construction of a new museum, to organize exhibitions and restore the artefacts, will start at the end of the year. The museum is expected to open in three years..
