Capítulo 77: The land sometimes contains very interesting finds
The price of one coin of 5 gold tugriks of 1856 was estimated from a state of 600 - 1,500 dollars. Offhand. from 50 to 250 dollars. a lot depended on how many coins are currently on the market, the circulation of coins. But still good money.
Dara showed his findings to Fang and the driver, his eyes became big as flat and he said in his hearts:
- Eh, it was necessary to go to treasure hunters and not to drivers ... our salary is only 700 dollars a month! And here in 3 hours and already 12,000 dollars in your pocket !!!
I wondered how quickly he calculated the amount in his mind, and moreover, the driver counted at the lowest possible rate. So already knew how it works!
Usually, if you look at the price in the catalog, especially postage stamps. The price, for example, is $ 5, but you can really sell for 30 percent of the cost, if immediately in a week. The one who sells will not wait 6 months for the price to rise to $ 5.
But in the case of gold and silver coins, you can always get money right away. Since even if saving the coin itself is not very, the weight of the precious metal remains. It comes at market value on the day of sales of gold and silver. This is always the jackpot!
But it is difficult to find gold, only not in the excavated places by other treasure hunters!
Some old local historians told how they visited abandoned houses in the city center. The houses were built in the 20-30s of the 20th century. They should have been demolished in 2-3 days, the residents left for the outskirts, they were forcibly evicted, sometimes they gave compensation of 50-60 percent and sometimes not, saying we'll give it back later, but that never happened afterwards. But this is not the case. And about the old houses themselves.
It was just walls, roof and old chimneys. Since the tenants dismantled the stoves. They were made of old royal bricks. Unlike houses, they were made of new bricks or clay bricks in general, which did not cost much. But the royal bricks with brands, they cost for 1 piece for 1-2 dollars.
The floors were also opened, since the boards could sell 1 board from the floor, even the old one for $ 5.
So the old local historians removed the pipes, they were steel, openwork, of the 19th century. For them it was possible to gain $ 700 at an auction easily. Removed "street name signs" they could be sold for $ 60.
If you ring a place under the floor, check the corners of the rooms, then sometimes they rang on the metal detector. Since the houses were old, they survived the mass purges of people who were sent to fell trees to the north. Houses survived the war.
They had within their walls - historical artifacts. Sometimes in the attics or basements one could find old records, umbrellas of the 30s, wooden handles with ebanite caps. Glass wine glasses in crystal. Faceted glasses. Old bottles, sometimes with emblems. Less often, bicycles, captured - German.
Knowledgeable people immediately carried things to an antique store. For old bottles with emblems, it was easy to get $ 70 apiece. $ 2 gram records. Faceted glasses for $ 4.
But bicycles could get money twice from them!
If you remove the saddle and check the hollow tubes of the fixtures, sometimes they hid jewelry, securities, manuscripts of novels or memoirs. Both the Germans themselves and their new masters. This is all the money! Although some of this may have belonged to the victims of the war in Germany. Looking through special museum catalogs, one could find what belonged to them and, according to the rules, what was found had to be returned to the surviving owners or their descendants.
Manuscripts and securities could be sold. And after the bike was restored, sell it again! It was good money, it was possible to live on it for 3 years in Small-An. Moreover, live well!
So historians, after retiring, earned money as hunters for household antiques. Sometimes in the walls of houses there were hiding places, those who were taken to camps, left their accumulations in the walls of houses, landings, under the floor tiles on the landings. It was a pair of gold or silver jewelry. Less commonly, gems or old regime orders.
Sometimes under the plaster, these local historians found secret rooms and there were small warehouses - trophy weapons, shmeister pistols - machine guns, hunting rifles, pistols, grenades, lemons, lower bayonets, sapper shovels, helmets, cases with gas masks.
Soldiers were allowed to export from the defeated cities up to 4 kg of trophies, officers up to 50 kg, and our officers up to 250 kg.
But no one checked the captured weapons, no one checked the marching military trains from defeated Germany. On the streets of the cities of the second empire, from 1945 to 1959 there were many captured weapons. He began to be handed over to the police only in the 60s of the last century. Some were thrown into wells, rivers, and lakes. Some hid on a rainy day in their homes, gardens, parks or forests.
In some villages in the gardens in the 90s of the last century, sometimes Maxim machine guns were excavated in 1898, with cartridges in oil. Sometimes these were quick-firing guns taken from attack aircraft, mg 34 or mg 42.
The land sometimes contains very interesting finds, no one would have suggested that the territory of Small-An, far from the fronts of the Second World War, could contain weapons of that war.
Sometimes even in the media there is information that in the goron village they found an air bomb of 3 tons. Where from? In a country where there has never been a war? It was either stolen and hidden, or accidentally dropped from military aircraft. Since there were military air bases, including NATO. But after the territory of Small-An, it took the position of non-alignment, abandonment of any military bases on its territory.
But it turns out that such "gifts" remained and no one knew about them!
Sometimes, when landscaping in cities, old wells are found that were forgotten and above them were lawns. And they kept old books that were ordered to burn. but someone decided to save them. Books of the 20s and 40s, of the 20th century, sometimes these were metal busts of kings or former leaders, which were to be destroyed. And sometimes there were treasures, gold bars, jewelry, gems, paintings ... worn out.
Sometimes secret passages were made from these wells, some fell from time to time, others went into the floodplain of the city canal, to bazaars from inconspicuous old wells. The length of the tunnels was from 400 meters to 4-7 km.
The world of modern cities, which for at least 200-300 years have not been living for 4000 years, contains many mysteries and secrets. Treasures and hiding places, underground cities under the modern city.
Treasures are sometimes right before our eyes, but nobody knows about them, and sometimes they look directly and do not notice.
Sometimes these are old hatches, some have a price of $ 550, some old rails that support light and telephone poles. And these rails are sometimes made of pure copper or silver. They were used by merchants to save their property from robbers and nationalization. In the city center and no one knows about them. The old city quarters of the 19-20 centuries also contain many secrets of both the architectural plan and purely monetary.
An ordinary tile on the floor may contain monograms of famous masters of the 19th century, some of which were inserted into the tile from the back of the gold coins in 5 tugriks from 1848-1889. Now the price for such a coin is from $ 3,000. Some old architects in a mosaic hid a message to young architects to decipher where in such a house the old master left them a treasure for their new achievements.
... these treasures could be in stained-glass windows, in decorations on the walls. But over time, the tiles were knocked out, broken, poured with concrete. The walls were painted to hide old regime drawings. And the mystery of the old architects simply disappeared, along with their caches and drawings, advice to young architects.
When the house was broken, sometimes such caches were found, but the builders took everything for themselves, sometimes it went to the city history museum.
So information about the caches became public domain. Vandals appeared. who began to destroy old buildings in the hope of finding a cache.
