Dara began to slowly drive the metal coil along the walls of the old school.
Typically, caches were made in the walls, near corners or where there were pillars, it was more convenient to hide. But the walls were silent ... well, treasure hunters do not always find, right away, something. Usually, out of 10 trips, only 2 or 3 are effective.
In addition, this place has been known to everyone for the past 250 years, so that other treasure hunters could ring the school hundreds of times already. Not only Dara was so smart ?!
The walls were silent, but a signal 44 went near the pillars. Not very good, but not very bad either. This is a signal - for buttons or coins or ... bottle caps
Buttons more often came across, less often coins. This is not Europe, where there is 2-3 meters of chernozem, it is loam, it is difficult to dig a glip with sand, the ground is the first 20 cm hard. Then there is sand along with limestone deposits.
Dara, pulled a sapper shovel, during the second world war, it was the most formidable weapon in a trench war. Engineer shovels killed more people than bayonets.
The sapper shovel curled in 1896 and was developed by a Danish military named Linneman. It is not only a weapon, but also has other functions, such as measuring, digging. can in rare cases but be used as a surface for cooking, as an ax.
But Dara used it only for its intended purpose, they say that in 1937, a grenade launcher was made from a sapper shovel, it fired 250 meters from it. But it was heavy, with a small caliber and was not popular in the army.
Having made a pit 30 centimeters in size, Dara began to check the soil with a Pointer tool for searching metals. There was a characteristic crack and flashing of the instrument. Dara found a circle, brushing his fingers and pouring water from a flask, he saw that it was a coin of the second empire. They were not valued, except if you find early coins that were made of precious metals or a rare coin. But this probability was certainly very small.
Yes, this coin was issued in 1929. Nothing special, at the auction it could be sold for $ 7 in good condition, and on average for only $ 2.
Well, at least some kind of find, Dara had to hurry, since he had only a little time to search, about an hour and a half.
Near the second pillar, a signal rang out again, this time very poor 22. Most likely a cork from a bottle.
Dara compiled, checked the Pointer, there was a crackling and blinking. He fumbled with his hands and found a thick coin ... it was copper. Spraying with water, he discovered an early coin of the second empire, it was 5 cents of 1923. Copper, such a coin weighed 12 grams. She was in good condition, and on the edge (herd) had asterisks and dashes. It was a good jackpot! Such a coin at the auction was about 2500 dollars!
Interesting finds, but Emir's gold was not close either! But the findings of 23 and 37 years were somewhat alarming. Then, just at that time, an extraordinary commission for the fight against counter-revolution was operating. many old officers of the former empire, senior officers, nobles, as in the time of Robespierre and Marat, met their sad end right near the walls of their houses. As a rule, they were quickly shot, and property was nationalized. But the state got everything. Some of the employees were not clean at hand, gold and jewelry led them to great temptation, some of the employees were werewolves, they worked for English and Italian intelligence.
Therefore, part of the family jewels taken from the nobles was hidden until better times. But if they didn't return for the treasures, then something happened with their owners.
The coins of 1923 and 1929 just gave such a version or hypothesis that the treasure may be relevant to this story.
Dara, continued to search, and again a signal near the second pillar and also 22. Again a coin? But no, it was a horseshoe with a boot, copper. Nothing special. It cost nothing, just rubbish, albeit non-ferrous metal.
Near the remaining two pillars, no signals were found.
Having buried the pits, according to the ethics of the treasure hunter, Dara began to ring the remaining three houses, or rather the walls and what used to be the floor.
In the first house, he found a 1925 coin in the corner of the house, there were no marks on the edge, a cheap price of 30 cents. In the wall I found a pair of forged nails. One of which had a poorly visible word in Arabic and numbers in Arabic, too.
Dara began to wash the nail, the numbers meant 29 and the inscription ... Dara did not know Arabic. But at hand was a Yandex translator on an android. Taking pictures offline, he also worked, unlike Google.
After a minute of panting, the android issued a translation - it was Meimene - the right wing. Well, at least the wool is a shred, a little something is clearing up, probably.
In the second house in the corner of Dara, he found another coin, this time it was 1928, rare, it cost $ 3,000 at an auction, it was silver. Only now, Dara noticed that the numbers, 29 point 03, were scratched on the coin.
Dara hastened to check the previously found coins, only on one found also in the corner was the inscription M29D03.
What does it mean? Dara remembered how...
