| Search with a metal detector |
The metal detector You will need it if You hunt for historical relics. It is necessary to clarify that this term refers to a very wide range of subjects. According to ecyclopedia definition, historical relics is "especially honor and keep as a memory of the past." Even cans of corned beef may be a historical relic, if this Bank is not send to the trash, and to keep as a dear memory, and if this Bank is produced in 1934. Among the historical relics can be divided into several categories, which we here call. But first, a note: whatever history You found, exercise caution and do not clean it up or anything but soapy water using schetki. About acid and abrasive materials can not be and speeches! Otherwise You risk to spoil his find. But it can be quite a jalopy, but a valuable thing, worthy to become a Museum piece.
So, about the relics in order.
The most common production coins. Mostly caught, of course, Soviet small amount of money, but if you are very lucky, you can find Mongol "Tenga" or the coin of the Ryazan Principality. However, from the Soviet kopecks nose to turn up is not worth it. There is very valued by collectors instances.
Jewelry caught almost everywhere, where ever people lived. Find ancient gold rings and earrings are very difficult, as in the old days, gold was only available to very rich people, and therefore scarce. But to detect ring or earring later period of the 19th century to today - the hope is feasible.
Crucifix to detect also very easy. Much harder pochitateli how many people with the baptism of Rus by Prince Vladimir wore and lost the cross. Crosses caught mostly bronze. Rarely silver. Lucky and patient searcher may stumble on other amulets and talismans, including related to the pre-Christian period of Russian history - for example, for protecting from the "evil forces" of "charms" in the form of animal figures.
From ancient cold weapons most often the search engines come across arrowheads or spears, left once in the places of battles or hunting. Find the sword is almost a Chimera, because on the battlefield the sword is not thrown in case of death of the owner of this expensive weapon it is, as a rule, the trophy was awarded to the winner.
Household items can find a variety from button and scissors to agricultural implements and parts of horse harness. Sometimes I don't immediately understand, which meant a found old object. For example, one search engine for a long time trying to unravel the appointment of a bronze spoon, until the end not found out - after reading mountains of literature and consultation with experts - that is nothing but "kopoushka," the ancient analog of the modern ohochinsky.
Summing up the overview of the historical relics that You can find with a metal detector, it is necessary, sadly, to mention unwanted discoveries about what You define as garbage. The biggest headache take aluminum tube of vodka bottles that wealth everywhere is full, and the detector - even the most are computerized - is unable to identify with certainty. However, what we consider junk, to others is not one search engine on the collections of corks from bottles of vodka put life.
Also scattered here and there some relics, the eyes of the search engines result - and probably to a much greater extent - especially the buried treasures. Indication of the place where hidden treasure may be a family legend, folk legend, old map, etc. Without such a search leads to nothing lead. Metallically plays a secondary, though very important role.
Video information, which is, for example, will not too long ago ancestor, equipped with a stash of family treasures, provides almost stoprocent the success of the search. Most of the treasures, about which there is such information, which is not particularly ancient, their age is about 200 years.
Indirect information about the ancient treasure can be gleaned from stories and from a comparison of the historical events. It is on this sort of information are founded the hopes hunters "treasure of Stepan Razin" or "Golden carriage of Napoleon." Show intuition, imagination, think, where could people hide the treasure, armed with a metal detector and - forward. Russian history, all, from the very first centuries, chock-full of bloody wars, the raids of nomads and the "witch hunts"; there is no doubt that many of our ancestors in the next "desperate times" had to hide their most valuable asset. And therefore hid a lot of that can not to raise the spirit of the search engines.
A separate section in the list committed by means of a metal detector the finds take the weapons and relics of the second world war.
In 1968 the forest near Leningrad was literally overflowing islomania armored vehicles, missiles, and the rusting of small arms; barbed wire ogorode areas previously since the war of mines. Subsequently, the armor was taken away and mines dug. But, nevertheless, remained the search engines-trackers who are looking for some unknown stranger places - it happens - find something of heritage agromakova 60 years ago war. Maybe you're lucky and You?
If the search for military relics is Russia, whose territory has seen the main battles of the Second World War, found, beach search in our country was not widespread. But in new York, many armed with metal detectors search engines in the evening rush to the beaches, where the day of thousands of holidaymakers sunbathe. Sometimes, the American Rangers came here namala production: for example, dropped by wealthy ladies huge diamonds, which will discover is that the most prestigious jewelry stores in the USA. Some of the finds have to surrender to the police, the Rangers stumble upon the guns, abandoned in a sea of criminals getting rid of evidence.
So many interesting things You can discover with a metal detector. But the metal detector is not all. This is only a tool, which itself does not create miracles. Finds only one who is looking for. Knowledge, experience, patience, perseverance - that will make You a real Pathfinder. |
