Hi all!
Long ago I did not come here. It is a lot of works and moving to other house, did not give free time for hunting and the Internet. Last week I at last could make several hunts. I want to share with you the pleasure and I will show my finds.
As usual, with friends we went to the place of the former village. Using old maps and satellite maps, we found the place. Finds on this place have dating 13-18 century.
There are my finds

Copper ring. 14 century.

Christian breast icon "Nikita Besogon beating a demon". 14-15 century. A very rare find in Russia.

The plot of an icon shows the Byzantine Saint Nikita's episode.
Having become the Christian, Nikita has caused extreme displeasure of the pagan father and after tortures has been put in prison where to him the demon who has accepted angelic shape was. The demon has begun to persuade Nikita to bow to pagan idols and by that to avoid new tortures.
Nikita has doubted angelic essence of the guest, has prayed to the Lord then to him the archangel Mikhail has descended from heaven and has ordered to put a false angel on trial. Nikita has seized a demon, has stepped on him and has beaten the iron shackles, having forced it to admit the devil nature.


Bludgeon. 13-14 century. By russian (Kisten/Кистень). in a different way is called "volkoboy" - from the Russian pronunciation "to beat wolves". It is a small weight which was suspended on the end of a short lash. He well protected the horse rider from wolves and was the excellent weapon of self-defense. Also rare find.

When I found it, I danced for pleasure, and people from cars on the road looked at the strange person who with a shovel in a hand dances in the field. :)))

And some fotos of this place

Wow, great finds. I just finished a book on the Romanov dynasty by Montefiore, a fascinating read on part of you Country's history.
 

Slept on it & voted banner for the nice condition Icon!
 

The washed copper ring. I already found similar. If it is interesting, I described him in my thread.

It is the axe which I have found. I have washed him and I plan to restore as other axes which I found earlier. I have partially described restoration process in this thread

I have seen your interest in volkoboy. Perhaps his parameters, the size and (weight gramm) will be interesting to you. There are historic facts: volkoboy could break a skull of a wolf and break a backbone of a dog.
And during war volkoboy it was used as the main weapon

Sorry..Perhaps I am persuasive, but I want to tell you what is pleasant to me, this website and people here. It is good that we have an opportunity to communicate here without policy and other prejudices. It is pleasant to me to tell about history of my country and to show that she isn't so awful as perhaps speak on TV. :-)
And as usual: Don't hesitate if you have questions of my finds and my country, I with pleasure will answer them.
Best regards
