The Adventures of Treasure Hunters - 1 season

Chapter 30:Zahabun - Rabat 2



Only small black stones protruded from the ground, if it were not for the map from the drone, then Dara would never have thought that still in 1240 there was a large caravanserai in this place and in 1020 there was an Arab fort in this place. According to the manuscripts of historians of the 11th century, gold, silver, and jewelry from gold and diamonds were brought from the surrounding mountains, mines and smelted into it. They learned to process and make faces only in the 17th century.

Dara thought that probably, if true, then a couple of gold bars, coins and jewelry should be littered in these ruins. They were lucky that this object did not fall into the red line, and was not included in the register of protected monuments of cultural heritage. However, if he had found precious jewelry, jugs or plates of precious metals, then they would have lost. Since these objects would need to be submitted for inspection to the Department of Monument Protection, under the Ministry of Culture. With a confidence of 99.9%, it would be possible to say that they would not receive these objects back, however much they would receive compensation, they would simply be seized in favor of the state and then transferred to a private museum or state. And the territory of the find would be transferred to archaeologists.

It would be better if there were just pieces of nuggets, ingots without marking, then this find would fall under the treasure law. And one could not be afraid to fall under the law on the protection of cultural heritage monuments. You could get good money by dividing 50 to 50 percent with the village. Everyone would be well!

Pulling out a metal detector, Dara began to slowly drive along the surface of the slope where the stones were sticking out. A minute later, a distinct signal was heard, at a frequency of 80. The signal showed non-ferrous metal. Pulling out a shovel, and making an effort, Dara dug a small hole. Then, using a pin, he found a signal, he screamed "pee-pee-pee". Dara began to dig up the earth with his hands, he fell into the hands of a circle, probably it was either a coin or a button. But without water, it was impossible to say for sure. Dara postponed the find to office work, as he called.

Yes, apparently you have to dig a pit, without this you can't get to the discount itself. It is big, 35 meters by 25. But who knows, suddenly there are monuments of cultural heritage. There are cultural layers that can be damaged when digging a pit, and this is already a violation of the law, and at least a fine of $ 35,000 or 240 hours of community service. Is it necessary? Not!

Therefore, Dara abandoned the idea of ​​the pit, turned on the action camera and began to carefully examine the surface of the alleged fort. The metal detector made sounds, Dara checked the surface at different frequencies 48, 44, 78 and the sounds did not shine.

For half an hour, Dara recovered at least 15 items.

It was a wire, presumably made of silver, buttons of a weights from the Middle Ages, silver and copper coins, this was shown by a metal detector, but without cleaning the dirt and oxides it was impossible to understand the year, as well as the very belonging of the coin. There was also a pair of forged nails, several corks from vodka. Buttons from a soldier's overcoat of the 20-30s of the 20th century. Moreover, the British, such were worn during the Civil War by the "Basmachi" or as some called them rebels and others as separatists.

Dara, I found a couple of rifle shells, part of a dagger ... but the simplest. without decorations. One silver ring. In Small Ahn, as is customary in Arab culture, men were forbidden to wear gold jewelry, the rings could only be made of platinum, silver or copper.

Some broken off copper and silver parts from some decoration or a door handle.

Two figures of a lion, made of bronze and copper, are clearly industrial and not artisanal.

There was no gold. The metal detector showed several good signals, but they were at a depth of 1 meter and 2 meters. Digging them was dangerous so as not to damage the possible cultural layer.

Therefore, Dara decided to finish this here today, it began to get dark, and they still had to go down the mountain. After all, there were still 14 days left from the reserve. It was possible and not particularly in a hurry. At the camp, Dara was already planning to check what he found. And write a detailed report of what he saw and found. Apparently, number 47086-1, it was not in this gorge, it seems that you need to look for old villages on the mountain slopes and check their walls. So said Dara his intuition. And from the point of view of two laws, he would not violate them, and the findings could not be registered! Since these findings did not fall into the "red zone"!
