Good day to all. I live in Russia and would like to tell my stories and findings to you. And I'll start with this story.
I'll start perhaps, I'll start with how I even encountered an instrument search, and how this hobby "stuck" to me)). "I was sick" when I was a child, when we were small, 10-12 years old, we climbed with the boys everywhere, we searched for something, dug, someone told us about some unknown finds. Then there was no opportunity with the acquisition of a metal detector. Times were harsh, 90's.
And here in the "distant", like 2009-2010, took with my brother Garret ACE 250, then it was considered a super device, at least for me. They went with him from the beginning of the garden in the village, but there, except for old rusty nails, nothing was found. Then we went to the collective farm field, they thought there were trampled finds, they pored,))) but only not those who expected. Basically, these were traffic jams, parts from the tractor, wire, old car keys. Such a feeling was created that if something was broken at the tractor, then it was immediately repaired, and immediately threw away all that had already worked. In short, they dug one chernet, but they did not collect it, because no one took it, and if they did, it was very cheap. We began to study the old maps, and found ourselves near our village, although our village is also considered old, is a tract. We searched it without any navigators and other devices, just looked at the map, and figured out that somewhere there should be a tract. We sat on the bike and drove off. Well, as we went, drove 5 kilometers along the asphalt, and turned into a field. While riding on the field, they got stuck three times.
Well, that the motorcycle is relatively light and pull it out of the dirt, it was not difficult. As it turned out, even moving along the field, we did not reach the target goal a couple of kilometers, (as it turned out, there is a normal road to the tract, but we learned about it later, after it came to him). They rested in the woods, threw the motorcycle, and walked forward. We went through the woods, purely on a whim and, of course, with the device turned on. WAS LONG))).The closer we came to the tract, the more the finds became "better", something between the wire and the old, forged, iron canopies from the gate. As a result, we reached the natural boundary, the findings did not say that there were many (good) ones, since with such an instrument it was necessary to dig a lot and basically one of the blackberry and wire.

If the woods are good for you thats OK, but keep trying the ploughed farm fields until you see the dark soil, pottery & lead (plus nails). This will lead to ancients finds.:thumbsup:

remember too...you have iron age history and all sorts of pre-history too. Use google map to look at your area for things and places that look different.

thanx for taking us along to Russia. Good luck on your upcoming hunts. Find some spots where old villas (river crossings, trading forts, etc...) used to be, but which are now just plowed fields. Perhaps evident by crockers, tile fragments, shell-midden, etc... Looking forward to more show & tell.
