And here you have another example of the fact that a cop’s understanding and its result is not so much an expensive metal detector as it is experience, experience and more experience. Four years ago, when I was still an inexperienced, novice digger, then I tried to adopt this very experience from more seasoned comrades. In addition to my own daily practice, at every opportunity, when those same seasoned comrades came to me, I asked, interrogated and inquired about every interesting issue. They were still the same mentors, and I didn’t turn out to be a very zealous apprentice.
So, my comrades and I drove around the nearby fields, looking at what had been plowed up and what had been fenced in. And that summer one very interesting field was plowed up, we dug there for half a day, as a result the comrades said that the field had been knocked out, but let’s look at the neighboring one, it seemed like no people had walked there yet. We entered that field in three units, walked around for an hour and, as a result, one Soviet nickel for three of us. As a result, experienced comrades summed up that the field is empty and there is literally nothing to do on it, absolutely and unequivocally. Well, since experienced comrades decided so, then it is so. And for four years I drove around this field, without even looking at its open spaces. It’s empty, and there’s nothing to look for there.
This year, the situation with plowed fields has changed a little; there are only two fields left in our area for the summer, and there isn’t much to choose from. So I went to that same unpromising field, and even through suitcase plowing. And, here… Why would this be? But, here are the finds. Copper, scales and metal-plastic. And so it turned out that the unpromising and empty field turned out to be very tasty and rich in finds. Think, don’t think, but there are no other assumptions, only a clear understanding that experience is the main program of your metal detector.
Have you, dear readers, had such cases? When you passed the same place several times and, only after a few years, in that same field or forest clearing you began to find noteworthy finds. Share your experience in the comments, and I will additionally post for you a selection of finds from that very unpromising field. I would like to note that on average, one photo with a swag took 4-5 hours of digging.
