In the mountains it is difficult to look for intersections, but there are more finds . If there are more small and copper coins on the plain, then in the mountains there are also gold coins .

Interestingly, more often finds of small coins and not medium or large . For example, these are coins - pennies, cents, faces - everything, small copper coins *, for which you could have breakfast and lunch well at the time, and there would still be something left for the evening . But it depended on the time when there was peace, the price of a coin was higher, when the war was lower .

What is of no less interest is that you mainly find coins either fresh, which are 10-20 years old, then there are coins from the second empire, which are 70-80 years old . Farther away are the coins of the first empire and various small princ.i.p.alities, as well as neighboring countries - Persia, Idnia, the West Indian Company, Afghanistan, age 100-200 years .

But coins for 300-400-500 years can be found very rarely . Not to mention coins that are 700 and 1000 years old . But they meet . There are more in the mountains, probably because the mountains are less explored and less exposed to agricultural activity .

On the plain, such coins can only be found in ancient ruins that black diggers plundered 200 years ago . In the dumps that they created, then, these black diggers, missed the coins . Sometimes you can find such coins near the roots of trees that are over 1000 years old . Sometimes they lie at the bottom of small mountain streams . Probably the water, once washed them and from some slopes of the mountains . . . and transferred to this place .

Advertis.e.m.e.ntSometimes when searching for coins in the mountains you can find flakes, flinty times of the Neolithic or Eneolithic . . . on the slopes of the mountains or second terraces .

In the floodplain of mountain rivers, in addition to fresh coins of 10-40 years ago, one can also meet modern two-trunks or 7 charging carbines . This, the poachers hide them when they see the forester . . . then the procedure is very unpleasant . It is necessary to report the findings to the police, then to the forester, to the directorate of the reserve or national park . Then write an act of seizure of two witnesses . And bring weapons to the police station . There, hand over it for painting, write an explanatory . And there, the police are already starting to look for a poacher . So such findings are not very encouraging, search engines .

- "Sucks, however!" Hush up, Dara .

Not that word! Day then consider spoiled .

Therefore, we are afraid in the floodplains of the rivers, with dense vegetation there is nothing to look for . In addition to these troubles, there may also be snakes .

Especially in spring and summer . They like to relax in the thickets of nettles or mint . A bite of a steppe viper if you do not have an antidote is fatal . I did not have time to inject two or three antidotes, after 1 . 5 hours there will be convulsions, and h.e.l.lo . . . And the antidote, serum is not sold in pharmacies, just like that .

We need the special permission of a doctor, a consultation, issued for signature, numbered, and it costs unmeasured, 1 ampoule of about 55 dollars . If you can find more . Not often brought . In a private pharmacy you can already find for $ 120 . But in principle, foresters have them, 5-6 ampoules, but sometimes the expiration date is already expired . . .

By the way, these snakes still love to sit on the branches of shady trees . And on the slopes of the mountains, in the spring, such spiders of small size crawl "karakurt" . Black with red or yellow spots . Their bite is 10 times stronger than that of a cobra . So why are we also not so willing to go to the mountains in spring and summer . And in winter it's slippery and you can break . So the time for hunting coins mainly falls in the fall .

- "I wonder why a lot of small coins are found and not large ones"? He asked, Dara .

I think this is due to the fact that in those days, people already switched to canvas wallets and sometimes they carried coins in their pockets . They were full of holes, and smaller coins woke up, while larger ones remained . Or simply larger coins in denominations, people stored more carefully .

Or just didn't carry it with you .

"Who were these people who were losing coins?" Asked Dara .

Apparently, these were nomads, hunters, collectors of brushwood and dung, fis.h.i.+ng, peasants, soldiers, travelers, small traders and merchants .

It is also interesting to look for coins, near wells, old wells that are at least 300-500 years old .

- "And how do you find them, how do they look in s.p.a.ce images?" asked Dara .

Wells look like small white dots to which roads go, intersections like stars, with many rays . We find the a.n.a.lysis of old maps .

Maps used to be found in archives and funds, but nimble guys dragged them all away in the 90-00s . And what remains, they are not accessible, just like that, to a person from the street . Now all these old cards have pa.s.sed into the hands of dealers, search engines, collectors . To get a scanned copy, you need to pay money from 10 to 20 dollars apiece, some cards cost more in the range of 100-200 dollars .

Although some of them you can find on drains, or old used books in Germany, France, Britain, Spain, Austria . Well, how lucky . They are also in various private research inst.i.tutes, but there, to get their copies of cards, you need to pay more money and share the result . There are many troubles . But if you write or conduct some kind of research work, you can get funding from the initial fund . If you win some kind of science grant . But it's too late for me . . .

"Why?" Surprised asked, Dara .

Well, you see, such grants are easy to get young, and after 50 years nothing s.h.i.+nes . Especially if you are just an amateur researcher, a private individual, and not a legal one, if you do not work anywhere at a research inst.i.tute or university, college . To get financing is not real .
