Relics (from the Latin reliquiae - remains, remnants) - these are objects especially revered and stored as a memory of the past.

If you think that the item you found with the help of a metal detector does not belong to the category of garbage, then this is a relic. Here is one piece of advice.

Do not attempt to clean the find with anything other than a soft brush and soapy water. Never use acid or abrasive materials to remove oxides from the metal surface.

Coin Search Features

Coins are always considered to be among the most informative archaeological finds, since the year of issue can be determined from the coin and thus indicate the age of the settlement. Coins can be found almost everywhere. At all times, people carried money with them. And always part of the money was simply lost.

Walk along the river bank, along the old forest road, along the playground or just along the field along the village - and there will always be coins among your finds.

Having found a coin, do not be lazy to identify it by looking at the appropriate catalog. And among the ordinary, at first glance, Soviet coins, there are rare and very valuable varieties.

Jewelery Search Features

Jewelry, like coins, comes across almost everywhere where people were in ancient times. Most often these are rings, rings, earrings, all kinds of pendants and sewn-on plaques. Products made of copper and its alloys predominate, silver jewelry is less common.

Gold objects in Rus' have always distinguished a noble and very rich person, so the probability of finding an old gold jewelry with a metal detector is almost zero. It wasn't until the 20th century that gold became more readily available, and digging up a modern gold earring or engagement ring is quite realistic.

Features of the search for talismans and pectoral crosses

Pectoral crosses and talismans were lost almost more often than jewelry. Every person in Rus' wore a cross and lost it at least once in his life. The silk thread was more often torn, although there are also crosses, in which the eye was frayed by the thread from many years of wearing.

Most pectoral crosses are bronze, and silver ones are rare. If you're lucky, you can find talismans or, as they were then called, "amulets" of the pre-Christian period. These are miniature saws, hatchets 2-3 cm in size, animal figurines, bells to scare away evil spirits, etc.

Features of the search for edged weapons of past centuries

Edged weapons of the past centuries and their parts were left by man both at the battlefields and in the process of hunting. First of all, there are arrowheads. This is perhaps the most massive find. Spearheads and axes are rarer. The pipe dream of the collector of relics is the sword. Finding a sword is almost impossible, since the sword in ancient times was a grand-ducal weapon and its loss on the battlefield, like an arrowhead or a spear, is practically impossible.

Features of the search for household items

Household items can be found in a variety of ways:

  • buckles;
  • buttons;
  • knives
  • scissors;
  • details of horse harness;
  • agricultural implements.

Having found an "undesirable find" (cork, can, etc.), never throw it away in the search area so as not to stumble upon it again. Do not be too lazy to collect garbage and throw it away from the place of search.

Features of treasure hunting

As the folklore of search engines says: "To find a treasure, you need to know exactly where it is buried." As funny as it sounds, it's true. The main thing here is information, a tip, a hint.

It can be a folk legend, an old map, a family tradition, or just your own intuition and comparison of historical events. A metal detector in the search for treasure plays an important, but secondary role.

Direct information most accurately indicates the path to a possible treasure. This usually refers to treasures no older than 200 years, and most often it refers to the treasures of the post-revolutionary years of the period 1916-1935. This period is included as the last pre-revolutionary year, when the most ingenious were already digging home gold, and continues with short breaks until the moment of "destruction of the kulaks as a class", when the evicted in 24 hours had no choice but to hide valuables in the basement or in the attic of their own Houses. In the future, after 1935, the treasures were almost not buried - there was nothing to hide.

Carriers of such information very often turn to specialized firms with a request to help find the treasures of their grandfather or great-grandfather. Such searches almost always end successfully.

Once in the treasure, in addition to family jewels, there were documents confirming the noble origin of the family and a greased revolver neatly wrapped in a rag. Both that, and another in the early 20s, it was unsafe to store at home.

True, sometimes the value of the treasure is much lower than the effort spent on finding it. Somehow, in the treasure, which was a small iron box, there were 12 Nikolaev fifty dollars and a medal of the Russo-Japanese War, although at least a pot of gold appeared in the family tradition.

Indirect information and searcher intuition do not judge XNUMX% success, but may make the most savvy searcher happy. As it has long been said in Rus': "Treasures are found with the head, not with a shovel."

The long-suffering history of our state was replete with wars and internal cataclysms. Tatar raids were replaced by oprichnina, wars and revolutions were followed by oppression of government officials. In all these difficult periods, people were preoccupied with the thought of how to protect valuable things.

Where treasures were usually hidden:

  • firstly, in the house, in its most inaccessible places, for example, in the attic and in the underground;
  • secondly, in the garden, as a rule, in the corners under the fence posts or under the thickest trees;
  • thirdly, treasures were often buried on trade routes, along river banks, again in conspicuous places, on hills, under large stones, etc.

The literature describes a case when a man found a treasure in the hollow of an old pear tree. Being placed in a hollow, a bag of coins after some time fell into the cavity of the rotten core of the trunk. Only a metal detector could identify the presence of coins in the barrel.

Try to imagine where people could bury the treasure in a moment of danger. Then, arm yourself with a metal detector, and go on a quest!

Approximately these principles are currently being searched:

  • "treasure of Stepan Razin";
  • "treasure of the robber ataman Tyapka";
  • "Napoleon's Golden Carriage";
  • "Kolchak's treasure" and many others.

Features of the search for a treasure of family jewels

You want to find jewels, family heirlooms buried by your ancestors under a tree that was cut down a long time ago. In this case, it is not necessary to buy a metal detector.

In this option, it is better to hire a person who already has such a metal detector and experience with it, rather than buying a metal detector yourself. In places where people have lived for a long time, the ground is very heavily littered with metal debris, which will shield weak signals from deep-seated objects.

There are two ways to work here.

The first method is to first remove the soil layer to the depth of the bayonet of the shovel at the intended search site;

The second way is to work in two stages:

  • stage 1 - completely clean the scanned area from debris using a metal detector (working at a low sensitivity);
  • stage 2 - increase the sensitivity and work to the maximum depth.

With such a search, it makes sense to refuse to work with the discriminator, since it reduces the depth of the search and often makes mistakes at extreme depths.

The condition of the soil at the work site is very important. The best time for searching is spring, when the earth has already dried up, warmed up and has not had time to overgrow with grass. Or dry autumn.

Features of finding jewelry on the beach

In our country, these types of search are not yet very common for several reasons:

  • firstly, there are still plenty of untouched places to search on the surface of the earth;
  • secondly, our average Russian woman, as a rule, protects her gold jewelry and does not climb into the pond with them;
  • thirdly, galleons with gold did not often sink off the coast of our state. So, you will have to make an impression about the search near water and in water according to foreign sources.

At the height of the season on the beaches of New York, these people are almost invisible: dressed in overalls with two dozen pockets and armed with metal detectors, they occasionally pass somewhere far from the edge of the surf - just in case, and then they all quietly move away. But then the evening comes. It becomes empty on the shore, and dozens of treasure seekers rush to the shallows.

The peak period is considered to be from September to October. Especially if storms, storms, hurricanes are walking. The best "sponsors" are rightfully considered to be elderly Russian ladies vacationing on Brighton Beach. They keep losing rings and earrings with real, pure diamonds. You will find such stones only in the most prestigious stores in America.

On neighboring beaches - Manhattan Beach and Coney Island, mostly young people have fun. Here you can always find a bunch of jewelry, but cheaper - gold bracelets "of the week", fashion items from modern designers, glasses from "Picasso" with a metal frame (the detector simply "does not catch the others"). Massive chains and rings are left, respectively, on Orcherd Beach and Seagate by Cubans and Italians.

There are also finds that have to be handed over to the police. This is a weapon. Not the first hard drives used by the participants in the civil war, but the most modern pistols, clearly abandoned at sea by criminals covering their tracks.

The New York Treasure Hunters League was formed in 1971. The beaches were already "searched" by a good dozen excellent seekers. Sooner or later they had to unite. At least in order to know which area has already been "processed" and where a colleague is working today.

Treasure hunters try to keep their favorite places secret. Only the one who seeks finds. And for this it is not enough to arm yourself with a metal detector - you need knowledge and, most importantly, experience.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

Gossip is good for the team 16.11.2020

Scientists from the Netherlands have confirmed that gossip at work is beneficial for the team.

To test the theory, the researchers interviewed 220 students. Among the questions were whether they gossiped about them, did they gossip, why did the students do it, who would they not gossip about.

As a result, scientists have said that gossip allows people to easily collect and verify information about a particular person. Also, with the help of gossip, employees divide the team into "us" and "them".

"Often gossip is seen as selfish and harmful behavior aimed at manipulating others," says researcher Bianca Bershma from the University of Amsterdam.

In fact, gossip can increase the productivity of an employee by stimulating him to work, revealing his weaknesses. And the fears of a person about whom they can talk are better stimulated to work.
