Finds

It would seem that many people think that in order to find treasure you need to get a good metal detector. And the concept of “good” usually means “dear”. But no, this is not so, most of the treasures were found with inexpensive entry-level…

What will happen if two comrades with ICQ 250 with Nel Tornado coils go out into the field? Do you think they will find the treasure? The chance is small, but it is higher than winning the lottery (think about the benefits of a cop!). This…

I propose to talk about such a rather delicate topic as “blunders” in museum information stands and erroneous attribution of objects. After all, state museums are a source of serious information. People write scientific papers based on…

The other day, a friend wrote to me on a social network saying that, while recently walking along the beach with a metal detector, he found several modern coins in terrible condition. Moreover, the Soviet coin found on the same day, which…

Have you ever wondered what happens to military equipment that is picked up after the war? Do they saw it for metal? Or are they sold to private collections (and there are such!)? Or is the equipment restored, brought to normal operating…

Coping is an interesting occupation. When you go out into the field and start digging, you never know what you will find. And if you start digging for deep signals in the field and drilling for the signal found, more often this leads to the…

War excavations, friends, are not only shell casings and helmets (with great success and desire), but also military equipment. Every year there is less and less of it, but there are still many places where you can get fragments of various…

Buttons from Gulliver's fly - this is what not very experienced treasure hunters sometimes call these finds and, of course, they are mistaken. What you see is nothing more than parts of a horse harness or, in the simple language of…

I continue the topic of identifying the most desirable find on any field for treasure hunters - coins! Moreover, I periodically write about different coins, cheap and expensive, common and mega-rare, in different ways, but all in order to…

This is truly a find. A coin that you will never find because there were only 109 of them issued! As far as we know, naturally, there may be more, but with such a small circulation it will be very, very difficult to prove the originality of…

Quite often, in fields and in former villages, in vegetable gardens, we find buckles of various shapes with incomprehensible images on them. If you are searching in the territory of the former USSR, then I am sure that you have already come…

Quite recently, an interesting event occurred - specialists from the rescue squad of the Northern Fleet recovered 2 Shermans, it seems that they were a modification of the M4A2(76)W, from the Thomas Donaldson ship sunk by a German…

I continue the topic on the Wehrmacht, identification of finds, in the first part we had a topic about Wehrmacht bowlers from the Second World War, what types were there and how to identify: Wehrmacht Bowler Kochgeschirr 31 (Identification…

Pavlovsk coins are distinguished by their massiveness and very original design. I found different kopecks, but never 10 kopecks from 1797 and 1799. And this is a very expensive find! A new episode of the Monetos TV channel on Youtube is…

Undoubtedly, each of us dreams of someday unearthing a silver Catherine ruble or a gold “Lobanchik”. But, let's be realistic, such luck does not happen as often as we would like, so today we will talk about a more frequent and simple…

A good find is a digger's delight! Especially if the find easily exceeds the price of the metal detector that found the coin. And the treasure of such coins? There’s enough here for a car, a fur coat for my wife, or a trip to the…
