Chương 63: A little bit about everything
... you can find in the squares of the village and the most valuable things not to find gold coins at the entrance to the village or city. Previously, there was an exchange, goods from carts, horses and camels were loaded and transported to village or city warehouses. There was an exchange of money from me, goods.
Sometimes it is near the entrance to the village in front of the gates or under the cover of the fort that townspeople or residents could exchange their goods with merchants or nomads. Since sometimes robbers came under the guise of merchants, but if bows and spears were aimed at the entrance to the village, robbers and nomadic people who were free of temper preferred to adhere to the world.
Nomads needed flour and farmers' goods vegetables, fruits, sugar, sweets, halva, cotton or linen clothes, needles, nikti, cartridges, gunpowder, lead, guns, arrowheads made of iron. And the farmers needed leather, furs, mare's milk, honey, wax, felt, meat.
It was a mutually beneficial exchange of goods.
Each treasure hunter should have a good knowledge of the history of the place where he wants to search for treasures.
And for this, he needs to read a lot, visit archives, funds, have old cards that can be found either on second-hand book debris or bought on the Internet on special sites. Moreover, these are scanner copies, and the price for them is usually not so high ranging from 2-3 dollars to 20-30 dollars. Of course, the original card would be much more expensive there, prices go from 100 and die to 10,000 dollars.
You need to know which device to choose - a metal detector, a pointer, a scanner to get pictures that can sometimes hide behind the patina of time, oxides. Lanterns, knives, shovels, flasks, coils, batteries and more.
In addition, knowledge of local legislation regarding the activities of treasure hunters and the use of metal detectors is mandatory. Permits and licenses, the weight to have, always with you.
Sometimes you have to use self-defense weapons - pepper spray and traumatic weapons. Therefore, such moments must be fixed, that is, a body camera is also needed. You need to know how the laws on the use of civilian weapons work. so as not to exceed self-sewing measures. Therefore, most treasure hunters prefer not to use it. But there is always a risk of attack. This is such an occupation. You can meet not white shovels but black ones. Risk factors to consider when searching for historical artifacts.
Dara and Fang revealed their metal detectors, Fang began to search near the fort or rather near its foundation, and Dara went to see what he could find near the entrance to the village.
Meanwhile, Baraz was reading the diary and grinning. He hit the jackpot! The diary described those treasures that were hidden in the capital. It was a hiding place so that the counterrevolutionaries and their agents in the midst of the emergency commission to combat counterrevolution, that is, an analogue of the secret police, went to live bait, began to open hiding places, and were immediately caught on the spot. But something went wrong, apparently the undercover agent was either revealed or killed before he could tell this information to another agent. One way or another, these caches never became known to the counter-revolutionaries. So those who organized this project were forgotten.
Baraz guessed that it could be just a grand scam of the special services of that time. Maybe one of the earmen of that time simply wanted either to appropriate all these riches to himself or it was a true patriot of Small-An, no one will know.
But the treasures were amazing - rembrand paintings, caravaggio still lifes, two Van Gogh paintings, gold cups inlaid with diamonds and sapphires. Precious stones - rubies 3400 carats, emeralds - 7600 carats, two large rubies of 70 carats each. Gold doubloons - 1000 coins, gold ducats 3400 coins, gold tilla - Big An - 22000 coins, gold materials of the first empire - 2100 coins.
Precious jewelry weighing 60 kg.
Weapons - Mauser pistols - 100 pcs, Maxim machine guns - 7 pcs, Lewis machine guns - 15 pcs, Madsen machine guns 22 pcs, Mosin rifles 3000 pcs.
Nice catch, you can put it in the museum of history! Rejoiced Baraz.
But Barno regretted not going with Dara and Fang. Baraz was keen on reading. The driver was sleeping in the back seat. And she? What did she do? She was bored.
In order not to waste time contemplating a drunk driver who emits snores and smelled of alcohol, and who laughs why Baraza is not understandable.
She took the metal detector left in the car and began to drive it near the place where Dara found this box. But there were no signals. Barno walked on and drove the reel across the field. Suddenly there was a squeak, and the numbers 76 appeared on the display. Barno awkwardly stuck a shovel into the ground and made two cops. She did not know what to carefully and at an angle insert a shovel into the soil. Nevertheless, she pitted, and while working as a poet, she found a large silver coin. True, she awkwardly scratched a coin with a shovel. It was spoiled as a historical value, but silver could be sold by weight. The coin paddles 27 grams, and was issued in 1789 at the time of the beginning of the first empire. I wonder where is she from? Thought Barno. She did not know that if she hadn't struck a shovel on a coin, then it would have cost $ 3,700, and so the price was for 27 grams of silver = $ 22.12.
Barno was glad to find and began to search with great enthusiasm. Three meters later, from the place where the silver coin was discovered, a squeak was heard again, the numbers showed 44, the frequency.
Barno again used a shovel this time she instinctively was more accurate, she found a brass button with an eagle. It was probably a soldier's button of the 18-19th century. But more precisely yog only know Dara. Since Barno had very superficial knowledge about the history of her native land. She knew better the history of the United States, as she wanted to naturalize there, and change her citizenship from Small-An to US citizenship. Such were her plans. She connected her future not with a poor homeland, but with a rich and successful superpower. She had all her friends there. And at home she was not interested and bored, no social life. Barno did not want to suffer, is tormented. to extort a salary equal to 600 dollars. Whereas in New York she earned $ 7,000 a month, and she had an account of $ 5,000,000 in a bank in New York. Which was translated by her grandfather.
It was the selling elite of Small-An, their grandfathers and fathers urged ordinary people to work hard at home, work tirelessly for a beggarly salary of 200 dollars. So that they send their children and grandchildren abroad. That money was received far from a noble and honest way. But in the West, no one asked where the money came from? Western capitalists did not care that the money was stolen from the people of Small-An. Rich and influential people exported cultural property abroad. While they had power and influence. Alas, the poor and long-suffering people of Small-An. He endured, survived, although he could live in wealth and wealth. But it is the destiny of all resource-rich countries to be the poorest. Since the elite sold the resources and became dollar billionaires, the people vegetated on salaries of $ 200.
Well this is a common story for third world countries. Corruption and the corrupt elite. Nothing new.
Barno was just interesting, so a momentary whim. Signal 99 again ... she found a golden button adorned with an emerald. She was probably from a costume of some local aristocrat from the time of Small-An, maybe the 16th or 17th century? Such a button could cost up to $ 8700 at an auction!
...
Meanwhile, Fang found — a few iron arrowheads, a rusty saber, a dozen copper brass sleeves, three horseshoes, two silver watch covers, five large 1800 copper coins, each of which could cost from $ 25. His findings were not limited to this ... he also found an iron chain, aluminum covers from some cans, as well as a trifle of 20-30 coins of the late second empire. Fang did not know that connecting this alluvial coin met one rare coin worth $ 220, and at the auction they could have given all $ 300.
Among the coins of the second empire, among many hundreds of millions of copies, a washed marriage was sometimes found. For example, coins should have on the obverse side an image of a building with three towers, and only two were printed there. On the reverse side, there should have been spikelets and strips 17 and there were 23. There should have been notches on the edge and there were stars. And such every mistake became a rarity. For it, the collectors of Gotva were to give tens and sometimes thousands of dollars. Some coins were to be issued on a copper basis, and confused at the mints and issued them in gold or silver. Such coins were usually withdrawn from production, but during periods of emergency situations, sometimes due to carelessness or lack of new printed money, they went into circulation. Circulations were small. And in the hands of all could go no more than 1000 coins for the entire second empire, numbering 450 million people. With a territory of half Asia and a quarter of Europe.
The chance that such a coin comes in is very scanty, but it happens, collectors can accidentally meet such a coin at diggers and sometimes at flea markets, when grandmothers just sell whole boxes of coins for a symbolic price of $ 10. And in them a fortune of 10,000 - 20,000 dollars.
Honest collectors buy such boxes for $ 50, but of course no one will ever give such a grandmother 50% of the coin sold. The world has never met such fools.
But this is already a slightly different world of antique collectors, sometimes even a little old pipe from a limited edition stove, such collectors can help out $ 3,000-4,000. And for a little plaque with the name of the old street "Full House" they can get 50-900 dollars. For an old and beautiful hatch of the late 19th century or a limited edition of the 20s of the 20th century, you can easily get 600 dollars. Sometimes you can see how old rails stick out of the ground or they support the foundation, and sometimes they are supports for lampposts. If you pay attention, you can distinguish their markings. Find out the manufacturer, country, year, type of rail, and its characteristics. Some rails of 1878 and 1868 produced in France or Belgium or England can be found in Small Ann and on the territory of the second empire. Some of these rails can cost up to $ 6,000.
