There are no knocked out fields (Competitive story of a digger!)
Hello, dear readers and subscribers of the community!
I'm glad to have this opportunity to share my story. The result of which is simple and banal, there are no “knocked out” fields. The story is unremarkable and there were many brighter exits, but this is what I decided to share.
I’ll start with the fact that I’m a newbie, in the spring of 2017 my wife gave me a Terka 705 for my birthday, by the way, purchased in Podolsk at the Ded Mitya store , before that I was a lot interested in coping, searching and everything that relates to this.
During the first season, I understood the comrades who truly live and enjoy their hobby, and realized what it’s like when they are “drawn to the fields.”
I won’t smear it and move on to the essence of this story.
One day in September of last year, I left work early and, like any lover of instrument searching, I decided to use my free time to search for antiquities, plus, after the last outing, doubts crept in about the operation of the device, so I decided to combine business with pleasure, to relieve my soul, break through the next field and test the device.
I took a minibus to the suburbs of Podolsk and already on the way to the site (I can confidently say that almost all the comrades of Podolsk were in this field) a colleague met me, we stood, talked, and exchanged information. According to his advice, the field that I had set my sights on had already been trodden by everyone for a long time, and was not of any interest, since nothing had even passed through Schubert. We said goodbye and went our separate ways, and since I had not been to this field alone yet, I decided not to change my plans and check it out, and at the same time test the device.
After checking the device, and it did not confirm my fears and worked clearly, I decided to slowly, “follow the thread” and to my surprise, in the very first minute of searching, the device gave out an “imperial” signal, which turned out to be money from 1749 in good condition. The next hour of digging yielded four early tips and the rain began. The excitement did not go away, it was interesting to understand whether the money was simply lost or whether there was an “unaccounted for” road in the old days, so despite the rain, I decided not to stop the search. The next signal again pleased with the “imperial” indicators and a large coin (2 kopecks of Catherine) appeared from the ground. The next hour produced a couple of early tips with pleasing preservation and already on the “dying” batteries (3 or 4 kopecks on them) the final imperial signal again and again the kopeck piece, this time Pavel, in pleasant preservation.
To sum up, I’ll say that I marked the places with imperial coins by sticking sticks into the ground, and came to the conclusion that there was a road, based on the sequence of finds. I visited this field a couple more times after that, and each time the sequence of finds confirmed my conclusion. Almost the entire field is empty, with the exception of shmurdyak and “Bukhara derhams”; early tips were found chaotically, but finds from the 18th-19th centuries follow strictly one winding line.
I would also like to note the fact that the “pred” drove up to me, asked if I was digging holes, asked if there was any point in digging in this field, and having received affirmative answers, wished me success and left.
This is the story of one cop, it’s everyday for all of us, but it makes you think, because there are no “knocked out” fields and you shouldn’t rely on reviews and rumors about this or that field, you should personally visit and check it, even if you’re not the first to see it and not even the hundredth, it’s just that other comrades found only theirs on it, and yours is waiting for you!
Happy upcoming season everyone, success and good luck!))) Thank you for your attention!
