55 It seems there is something behind the wall?

Dara, meanwhile, went beyond the ridge, where he discovered another structure that was in a satellite image. It was bigger than the rest. Maybe it was a stable or a warehouse? Since the building was separated from the main buildings at a certain distance.

While Baraz was looking for artifacts in the fort, Dara had already found three coins, all copper from 1858, 1867, 1898 of the second empire, two copper buttons from the third cavalry regiment, badly wrinkled, one horseshoe, two forged nails, of an unknown year, three cartridge cases from a hunting rifle apparently the beginning of the 20th century. Five tin corks from mineral water of the 80s of the 20th century. As well as a bayonet-knife corroded by rust, presumably from the First World War.

Nothing worth it. But it was interesting.

On a slope, a small meter 25 meters high, Dara found a small grotto, usually in such places there are images of cave paintings, which is also interesting.

Dara headed there, up the slope it was necessary to climb only 15 meters. Having approached the place, he found nothing in the grotto of Dara. But one could check with an ultrasonic camera. but he didn't have this camera. Then he just poured some water on the walls of the grotto. When the water dried out a little, he really saw how he assumed the cave paintings, but they were obviously made with a nail, and not with a flint tool. This was evident by the technique of drawing. The edges were smooth, but should have been rough. Someone fooled apparently, imitating the people of the Neolithic or Mesolithic, thought Dara dismissively.

But I decided just in case to check the walls and floor, maybe he will find something? Indeed, in old bricks, sometimes you can find old silver coins of 50 cents or even a whole Pars!

It is difficult to dig on the floor of the grotto, which was composed of loess sediments (sedimentary rock), but it is possible. There was a signal 28 - iron. Just a couple of rusty nails. So, all the same, his hunch was true. Some young idiot painted cave paintings. There are vandals and barbarians who spoil old cave paintings - scratching new ones over old ones. Then they completely spoil the old drawings, harming the preservation of the cultural heritage of the country.

Passing a metal detector along the wall with surprise, Dara found that there was a signal 88! Very strange, however!

Dara began to shovel the wall. But suddenly a heavy hand fell on his shoulder. From surprise, Dara flinched and made the sound "Oyoyoyoyoyoy !!!!"

- Why are you shouting, and even so scary? asked Baraz.

"Why are you sneaking up so unexpectedly?" he could only object Dara.

"Did you find something and hide again?" not answering Dara's question, Baraz asked him a counter-question.

"Well, I accidentally found a grotto, I thought there were rock paintings there, previously unknown sciences, I wanted to sell them to local historians for $ 100, they would write an article for dissertation, and I would earn $ 100 extra "said Dara, bewildered.

- So what? Found? Then why the hell are you breaking the wall, destroying the cultural heritage? Baraz asked sternly.

"Well, there were no old cave paintings, there were only studded with a nail, and the wall gives a signal 88 !!! It can be copper or non-ferrous metal. So I started to break it! I wonder what could be there?" trembling in his voice and sweating profusely, said Dara.

- Wow! I knew that you would find something interesting! Do you have any scent for trouble or secrets? !!! You weren't told not to dig too deep and too wide? with some surprise in his voice said Baraz.

"Yeah, they said that in our country, this is not welcome, I've been in unpleasant situations four times already, since I found what many wanted to hide!" honestly said Dara.

- And why do you think that in Europe or the United States, you would not be in the same situation? asked Baraz inquiringly.

"Well, there is capitalism! They value activity! There you can turn knowledge into money! And here, the initiative is punishable, do not hang out - it will kill! Usual sayings!" said Dara.

"Well, that makes sense," Baraz answered.

- Okay, let's see what's in the wall. Maybe at first you can see if there is any mechanism, and not stupidly hammer with a shovel ?! said Baraz.
