Several times I went on places of the former villages. I will show the most interesting finds.

Fino-ugorsky "fibula" - decoration 8-10 of century of our era. Fino-Ugra - tribes of people occupying the territory of our country.

"Scales" - the first Russian money. Were minted of copper and silver. In this photo the false coin - copper also is covered with silver.

Copper alloy, molding.
It is made: XV-XVI century.

Badge with I.V.Stalin's image. Stalin - the Russian governor in the period of 1924 — 1953. The badge is made: 1930th years

10 kopeks of 1826. With a "wide" crown. In perfect tune the similar coin was on sale at auctions at the price of 1000-1500 dollars. Unfortunately, my coin is far from an ideal and costs no more than 100 dollars.

Part of a porcelain cup of the period 1890-1910. At the bottom of a cup the eagle - a symbol of the Russian Empire and a surname of the manufacturer is represented

I welcome all hunters at this forum! I want to tell about a situation in my country. In August of this year, our idiotic government adopted the law on a ban of all types of search of treasures and ancient things age of 100 years.
Now, if the police catches the hunter with the metal detector and finds, the penalty from 7000 to 20000 dollars or 2 years of imprisonment will be imposed.
It is authorized to dig only on a sea beach and on a river beach. Provided that the beach isn't located near the state archaeological object.
Idiocy of adoption of this law that I have no right to dig out old 100 years of a thing, even on my site near the house.
The law was created to stop theft of archeological finds on archaeological objects. But made nothing for protection of archaeological object. In our country it is simpler to forbid, than to make the correct solution.
Sadly to realize that I am the citizen of the country with the idiotic government.

But we won't long and I will show the finds made before adoption of law.
Part of a fastener

decorative disk about enamel

Christian crosses. The first - a bronze alloy with tin. The second - silver. 17-18 century

Decoration of a horse harness - the 18th century.

The first Russian coins - silver. 17th century. They very small, diameter: 5-8 mm, thickness: 1 mm

The Russian buttons "weight" and a cuff link with blue glass and an ornament "star". 17-18 century.

Rings of 18-17-16 centuries.

These are photos of my finds. If you have questions of my finds or of history of my country, I with pleasure will answer all your questions.

Russian ancient keylock. 17 century.

Thanks for viewings and interest to my posts.

Good day, friends! Unfortunately I didn't manage to process the photo for the report at the end of 2013 and now I can't upload the picture in annual finds forum. I will show the report for 2013 here

in 2013 I bought a new metalodetector Deus with the big coil.
At first it was difficult for me to understand his signals, but now I show good results and I derive more pleasure from our hobby.
Again we went to old villages and places of the former settlements of the period of 5-19 centuries and had many interesting finds.
Finds of this year/season and the description in details you can read in the previous messages of this thread here
later I will show photos of the report for 2013
