ENCYCLOPEDIA OF RADIO ELECTRONICS AND ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING Features of searching for historical relics with a metal detector. Encyclopedia of radio electronics and electrical engineering Encyclopedia of radio electronics and electrical engineering / metal detectors 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:
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:
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:
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:
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:
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. Author: Dubrovsky S.L. See other articles Section metal detectors.
