"Cool"! Barno could not restrain herself. "For one coin $ 3,000, and only $ 400 for coins!"

"Such is the world of numismatics and treasure hunters," said Dara.

- Silver bell for a cow, nominal, with sample 999, price 1,500 dollars

"Named? For the cow"? Barno intervened again.

"It's probably some kind of hedonist like you," said Fang.

"Why me? I don't broadcast silver bells to cows!" Barno was indignant.

- a copper coin, there are no notches on the edge, 5 cents, hurting the second empire, the price is 30 US cents.

- Two battered samovars, copper ones, with medals, if you restore their price each for $ 2,500 (the cost of restoring $ 500 for two samovars will take 1 month).

- an iron tray, it turned out to be silver plated in 1898, at the back there is a hallmark of the plant and coat of arms, the price is 1300 dollars.

"Wow! So much and everything from one place!" Baraz remarked in surprise and admiration.

- "Not from one but from three places, and it was lucky that no one had been there before, everything was preserved the way they were left there. Usually on the plain or in the steppe, there are practically no such places. The robbers of treasures have already visited there. These places were looted in the 15th century and 16th almost every century. And in the 20th century and 21st century storerooms already passed there not once or twice, but dozens, after them one can hardly find a couple of coins and that's all, "said Dara.

- Yes, he was just lucky that all the inhabitants were evicted from these mountains in 1956, and then the district was closed, it was only recently opened. Therefore, the findings are so amazing. In the place where people live there is usually not much that can be found. said Fang.

"Here, yes, I agree with Fang, the usual treasure hunter finds are a couple of rusty pods, a few tin spoons and buttons, a dozen coins, more copper or modern. Copper coins, less often silver, and gold once a half a year or even a year come across in a bowl "! answered Dara.

- a copper coin of 5 cents, an early second empire price from 2 to 7 dollars, there are no notches and asterisks with dots on the edge. cheap.

- arrowhead, forged mid-19th century, price $ 5.

- a boot with iron nails from 1956 ...

"Ahahahahahhaha, are you Dara a junkman or something?" Barno began to laugh.

"No, not an old-timer, Pointer, such a versatile metal detector, showed that in addition to iron there is also non-ferrous metal in the boot. I tore off the bottom and didn't find anything, but in the heel were three rare gold coins with a nominal value of 10 carabaks each in 1909, their total the price is 1800 dollars! said Dara calmly.

Barno, gasped! But Baraz, noticed that in the second empire usually spies hid gold coins in the sole, so they paid with informants. But these coins were fake, real gold, but melted and minted in Germany in the early 50s of the 20th century.

Dara, made a note for himself, Baraz is well versed in the history of intelligence, maybe he can help them solve - riddle 47086_1, that is, the missing "Emir's Gold, Small-Anna in 1929."

- 5 cents, copper, the early second empire, 1923, on the edge - a notch, spikelets are knocked to the right, they are not 28 but 35, a rare coin, costs $ 2560. Usually defective coins cost more, not all of course, but some of them. Some 1878 gold coins are generally valued at tens, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars. For example, the coins of the second empire of the middle and its end are valued at 1000 and sometimes even 10,000 dollars. Grandmothers have such coins in the attics, sometimes they sell them together with all the trash in flea markets, and cunning numismatists buy all their junk for $ 10 and then sell 1 or 2 coins for $ 11,000. But finding a rare coin, stamp or badge is difficult. Since in the second empire circulations were large in tens of millions. It's very difficult to find a rare one among them, only luck helps not all treasure hunters.

Sometimes treasure hunters buy old furniture and there are hiding places in it, but for the most part they are empty, although sometimes you can find gold coins, jewelry, old letters and photographs, orders.

He liked to make such hiding places in the 20-50s of the 20th century in furniture, usually in the corners of fasteners or double bottoms near shelves. If there is furniture, there is a scanner or a pointer in your hands, then there is a chance that you will find some kind of cache there. Much in it will be love letters, maybe diaries, dried flowers, heaps less often precious stones or coins.

Also, caches can be in old tubular bicycles, motorcycles, paintings. On top of the original paintings of the 14-18th century, some children's drawings of the 20th century were applied. In the old houses, the hiding places were in the cupboards, under the floor, in the baseboards, in the air ducts, in the toilets and bathtubs. In stoves and chimneys.

Sometimes you can find old notes of the late first empire and the late second empire. Sometimes on the margins of old books there are inscriptions in French, Hebrew, Chinese, English, German, Arabic ... their owners. What did they write? for whom? Why did their books go missing? What happened to the owners is all a common everyday secret ... behind which there are no treasures, and for the most part just the history of people.

Sometimes secrets of treasures are hidden behind them, but who will solve them in the age of high speeds ... and glass balls from bearing bearings, old brands can serve as a treasure, although sometimes there may also be rare ones. Coins, letters, scraps of candy wrappers.

"That's what Fang and I managed to find from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.," summed up Dara.

Well, and how much money did she ask, excitedly Barno.

Baraz, answered now I'll say, I remember everything well and consider it, as I went through practice in the seventh main department of the secret police. In the department of external surveillance.
