Chương 59: Dara found a strange place
Dara, meanwhile, went to the plain, the river ended. In his backpack at the bottom lay a weighty jar of finds - coins, gold, silver, copper, brass. Buckles from soldier's belts, aluminum spoons, the remains of folding knives, podgoks, needles, nails, two effects from a saber, several buttons, two iron chains and other iron debris. A kilogram by 3. The total amount of finds has already exceeded the most conservative estimates for $ 25,000. Lucky. If he searched more carefully, he would probably be able to find more finds. But time was limited. Therefore, the Dara planned to return sometime later. In the meantime, see all the places that he outlined earlier.
Dara went to the plain ... he was surprised by the distance he traveled. He saw no one he knew.
The question is what to do? Go back or try to look for something in the steppe?
The first path is more secure, the second is more interesting.
Dara decided to choose the second path. He slashed forward, leading a coil in front of him. There were no signals. So Dara walked about 1 km. Steppe. Red poppies, green grass, purple erimuros stretching to the sky, 3-4 meters high. On the land of the inode, there were spools of lamb poop, and sometimes cow cakes. This is certainly not Idia, where it would be moeno to meet large poop of elephants in the rainforest, large such balls of 5-10 kg each. Like in Small An, peasants used to collect them and dry them, and in winter they were heated by dried turd of domestic animals of cows, buffalos or elephants.
In some places one could see mink gophers and cones of moles. Sometimes gnawed skeletons of turtles or individual heads of skeletons of small animals - dogs or jackals.
For snakes and spiders while the time was too cold they slept underground or under the rocks.
The steppe was uneven, in some places the remains of ancient irrigation canals were visible, the ruins of modern wintering for cattle. These were four coal-shaped rooms without roofs, one brick thick, of four walls, only two stuck out, and then they collapsed. A tree is highly regarded in the Kaki mountains steppe. Therefore, the ceilings and beams were all turned out and moved to a new place.
Sometimes there were large trampled spaces in a circle. The location of the nomads' yurts, which apparently lived here in the winter and in the beginning of spring, moved to other places.
A gift, for the sake of interest, walked there, there were squeaks at a frequency of 43. So, t, some kind of coin? But what is mono to find in the modern nomad camp? Only modern coins? And no! Since the nomads have not gone anywhere else abroad for the last 200 years, they wander along their old nomads, which have been them for 700 years. This means that there may be older coins.
Dara just heard a signal at a depth of 55 cm. Digging to a degree is not easy, serozem, it is chernozem. A shovel hardly enters hard ground. The fertile layer is only 15-20 cm, and then there is fine sand, rounded stones 1-2 cm in size, similar to pebbles but softer in composition. And then clay. The color of the soil is light brown, the deeper the darker.
Dara ran a metal detector and the signal disappeared, then when he got a subinter, he began poking them into the heap near the pit. And then came the long-awaited crack. It was not a coin, but a ring of golden color. Maybe gold, maybe copper? Squirting water from the spray gun Dara cleaned the find with his finger, it turned out to be a ring, though without a stone. Gold. Each treasure hunter is a little historian, a little archaeologist, a little local historian, a little antique. They should know how to distinguish different epochs of creating artifacts in form, drawing, technique of execution. Browse catalogs to know current prices for products where you can sell them. This is all the necessary knowledge in order to be a treasure hunter.
Each treasure hunter has its own arsenal - these are different types of coils and different types of metal detectors. They differ in characteristics and price. From a couple of hundred dollars to thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars. There should be pointers, lights, ultrasonic cameras, shovels, and sometimes probes, if there is money, geophysical equipment or special scanners allowing you to look through walls or soil for 3-5 meters. This is all big money. Beginners can't afford it. Flasks for water, unloading, good backpacks, belts. Knives, weapons of self-defense. Injury or shockers. Anything happens when searching for treasures. Permits to carry traumas, permits to engage in treasure hunting, a license, a certificate of payment of taxes on income from the sale of artifacts found. Acts from the state organization for standards that the equipment has passed their expertise.
Plus good shoes and work clothes. Not to mention the palaces and o-bento, that is, food during work, dry rations, canned food, water, medicines, small burners to heat food.
The ring put on by him was apparently the end of the 18th - beginning of the 19th century, the price for the voucher was about 1340 dollars, but it would already be necessary to specify more precisely on the auction website.
It is good that in order to attract tourists to Small Ahn, they allowed to export the treasures found if they are not of cultural value and sell through auctions.
And then some three years ago it was banned. As well as the export of foreign currency more than 1000 dollars. Poor foreigners, not knowing about it, exchanged dollars in their hands and then, without having official certificates from banks, they could not change back the local currency they received. So they had to take non-convertible currency to their countries. Since in world banks it was not possible to change the national currency of Small-An.
It was impossible to pay for a purchase through the Internet in an online store. There was a strict accounting of foreign currency, it was impossible to change the national currency to foreign.
But after the reforms started, in part it became possible. Thanks to this, the level of visiting tourists has increased from 450 thousand people to 12 million people.
True, the level of well-being from this is not very and rose from $ 980 a year per person to 1370! But GDP growth was more striking from $ 48 billion to $ 340 billion. However, Small-An, still had many inefficient state budget expenditures; he maintained a staff of old retirement officials who controlled the society but without much success. Nevertheless, about $ 1 billion was spent on their activities and maintenance, and another $ 3 billion was spent on the maintenance of their infrastructure - palaces of culture, special clinics, hospitals, rest homes, special workshops for the production of meat products and high-quality sweets. dollars. At the same time, only 32 million dollars continued to be allocated to science in Small-An.
Thanks to reforms, now the gift could more freely engage in treasure hunting.
To ensure safety and control of what was found, the tax inspectorate obliged treasure hunters to use body cameras that went to their personal office and were monitored by tax inspectors. On the one hand, this was done so that the treasure hunters would not conceal the finds, but on the other, to protect them from the robbers. Since the recording was carried out in real time. The camera had facial recognition functions, according to biometric data. And the data was stored in the north in a tax office.
So Dara was minimally protected.
...
After passing another 1 km of Dara, she found an interesting platform, it was 50 meters by 100. All trampled down with tire marks on five sides. What could it be?
