Capítulo 71: Strange place
Of course, it would be very naive to count on finding gold coins or entire mines of King Solomon in the field. But sometimes there are successful finds. Usually this happens in territories not yet dug by other treasure hunters or at battlefields or skirmishes.
Dara seems to have found one of these places. Probably it was a small group of travelers participating in the "Great Game" which, under the guise of scientists, was simply scouts. They collected data on troops, deposits, water sources, wells, crossings, ethnography and etymology. The structure in the management, major and minor clans. Then to put these data on the maps, tie the crusts and rivers, settlements to the coordinate grid. After that it was easy to plan the invasions and colonize the land. But since the secret police of the small principalities did not want to interfere in the games of empires, she usually pretended not to notice the actions of the scouts. But sometimes the princes were asked by other empires to take part in the elimination of the unwanted scouts of another empire.
Then they were attacked by robbers or they simply disappeared from the principality. And then they found themselves in the capital of another empire and recruited them. The usual thing in the intelligence system, there is nobility, there is another world of betrayal and foresight. The reserved world, where the average person is better not to climb.
This was better written in the novel "KIM" by R. Kipling.
Dara seems to have found one of those places where scouts from another empire, allegedly Austro-Hungarian or British, were defeated. But it is unknown that they were simply robbed, leaving them without a livelihood or killed. So to say, "active events" were held.
Dara didn't really want to find the bones, because then he would have to call the police or attract the colonel who flew by helicopter. Then Dara would have received a fixed price for his finds and not the highest that he could get at the auction.
Surprisingly, the second coin was followed by a third and then the fourth and fifth coins were not coins but the "Straubtaller" copper buttons. It seems the same that he discovered earlier.
I wonder what happened here? Thought Dara.
Looking at Dara's metal detector no longer caught any signals. Dara was surprised by this! Near this place was a jeep! Maybe there is something under it ?!
To my shame, Dara at the age of 22 could not drive a car, as their family did not have a car. In the back seat, the driver slept with a happy smile. Although it seems that he, as an employee of such an organization, was able to control his intoxication. But apparently the cadres were already not the same as during the second empire. Squeezed again Dara.
...
Fang during this time found about 20 silver bill coins of 20 and 15 cents from 1920 to 1924. A few horseshoes and two sabers, but they were not in the best condition. Apparently the sabers were cavalry beginning of 1915. All this was within the fort. On this his findings were exhausted.
Baraz found two copper coins of 1924 and 1925, but the simplest ones for which in the market gave 40-50 US cents by force.
He was also lucky to find several shells, lead bullets, a bolt from Mosin's blame, residues from a Mauser's pistol and a badge with peeling enamel. The remainder of the red star was visible on it, some numbers were poorly distinguishable and below two crossed sabers. On the reverse side were samples 555 and the stamp of the master letter MZ_KK. It could be assumed, only assumed that it was the label of the plant, or rather, even its brand, Mechanical Plant of the Red Komunars, which was located in the city of Khar. Judging by the data in the auction house catalog, such badges were produced in the period from 1925 to 1927. They were given to distinguished horsemen who killed 100 enemies. There were three kinds of them. The first is copper-based with green glaze and number 3. It was issued to those who were able to kill more than 50 enemies. The second on a silver basis was issued to those who could kill from 100 enemies, the glaze was blue and the number 2, on a gold base with red icing and the number 1, who was able to kill 250 enemies. Each person who received the 3rd type of the award badge, this distinctive badge, was entitled to receive three horses and a personal Nogan revolver, a leather jacket and a reward of 1,000 gold rubles. The second type was entitled to receive 5 horses and a registered Mauser pistol, from the Commander-in-Chief of the troops, 5,000 gold coins and early promotion. The first type could receive 10 horses, two registered Mausers from the party secretary, 10,000 gold coins and an early promotion for two ranks.
Gold coins didn't mean much, but the award weapon was like tamga, it provided additional opportunities for arranging life on a civilian.
Probably, some group of such horsemen or something like that was killed here. I wonder why this place is so attracted to those who built the fort here and later someone was ambushed. We see the place was some special!
