I watch t-hunting videos from Russia often on you tube.Lots of great history there. The WW2 battle fields are mind blowing.

War..Many deads...it is scarry. In our region there was no war. and it is good. I like finds of military years, but it isn't pleasant to dig them. Finds almost always near corpses.
Some hunters say that still find the remained bodies, especially in marshy areas where there was a war. In Russia there are a lot of marauders digging out burials and the law can't punish them strongly. Because of it any person with MD in Russia looks as the potential criminal. It casts a shadow on those who doesn't plan anything bad.

thanks, for interest to history of my country, if you have questions I`l can answer them

thanks gabberbob,very impressed by your understanding of your work,or play should i say.ever look for flint points?

 

[gabberbob]

No, it is very difficult to find silicon artifacts in our region. It is great luck to find an arrow tip from flint. Unfortunately, in Russia these finds have no good price. It isn't enough collectors. Generally museums and scientists.

 

[jamey]

ok,thanks,you should keep an eye out for them as you dig,or on river banks,look for dark soil.would like to see one from there,thanks and stay safe

 

[gabberbob]

Thanks!

There now. In our region still there is a snow, but the season of excavation already began. Already there was the first departure this year and there were modest finds. This time only coins of 1930. 5 kopeks and 2 kopeks.
Я купил себе новый детектор.
Я не совсем понимаю что он делает)) По этому пройдёт некоторое время для его изучения.

Yesterday I went to test the new detector. On a search place there is a lot of metal garbage and signals was much. But it didn't prevent to make some good finds.
finds: the Russian coins of the early Soviet period, military button with number 22, medallion-icon with the image of the sacred, porcelain ceramics and buttons-decoration of a horse harness.




Cleared finds

Button of soldier of Nizhny Novgorod 22nd infantry regiment (period 1912-1918)

the interesting find got. It is a silver slice - the cut-out center of a coin of fascist Germany. In Russia did of ring coins. Technology very simple: ring struck around, the herd was flattened out, the center of a coin cut out, and a ring processed a file and did a form of a wedding ring.

Watch video from i-net

Excellent thread, gabberbob! I just found it today. It was started before I joined this forum. Finds from Russia always interest me because Russia is where my ancestors are from.

Welcome to my topic about Russia, about my region and about finds from my region. I with pleasure would share with you my finds, but laws of Russia don't give such opportunity.
If you have questions about Russia, I am ready to give on them answers

Long ago I didn't write at a forum. There is a lot of work, I work in civil engineering firm. But sometimes after work we leave near the city and we dig.
In our country there is a holiday on May 1 - a work holiday. And a holiday on May 9 - a Victory Day over Fascism and the end of war of 1945. During this period in the country some days are considered not as workers and the people don't work. These days pass memorable parades and remember victims in war. Many people go these days on dachas and country houses. We too went to a country house.
Except works on repair of the old house I came for excavation. In the village where I have a house, there are many sites of the private earth. For excavation it is necessary to agree with the owner of a site. But if to dig at night, it is possible not to agree. As he sleeps))
Red color noted the sites of the neighbors which have been passed on May 1-12. Blue points mean many finds.


Here finds from a trip to a country house and departures after work





Christian cross 17-18 century





Five kopeks 1760 - times of board of empress Elizabeth Petrovna. Rare, big heavy coin with a diameter of 42 mm and weighing 45 grams


Five kopeks 17## (year it isn't visible) big coin with a diameter of 46 mm. Copper.

After cleaning


2 kopeks of 1812. Year of war of Russia with Napoleon's armies and education the 18th state of the USA — Louisiana

Without changing tradition, I will add a photo of landscapes. Probably they are pleasant to you.




in 2010 in the Central Russia there was a terrible heat. Was forest fires much and many villages burned down near the woods.
Here the burnt dried wood and logs will go for processing
