New place to look

Who knows? Maybe these scattered metal things were also part of the puzzle left in the past. In general, Dara lost a little, although he was greedy, but he understood the importance of what was found for history.

The colonel was glad of the findings, since he had not been able to complete his research for a long time and wanted to finish his doctoral dissertation on this subject. In addition, the find of Dara opened the curtain of secrecy, which was more than 101 years old.

This data could help find other caches, and they would bring researchers to the caches in the capital. These were already lost works of art, ancient manuscripts and again topographic maps with places of hiding places.

Moreover, these were caches - the secret police, with weapons, supplies in case of waging a sabotage war. Such finds are dangerous in peacetime. Subject to strict accounting.

It is a pity, of course, that the ruins of cities found will also have to be given to them, but this is the procedure.

On the other hand. Dara had already developed a methodology for searching for ruins, so he could very well see if there are any in the other nearby mountains - Pistachio, Fishermen, Ram, Humpback Mountains, Place of the Robbers.

So they could spend the remaining 13 days with interest and maybe find something else that could be left to itself and no longer shared with anyone.

Dara showed the place with a well, the colonel was overjoyed that there were still mounting devices, he gave his subordinates the task to thoroughly rampage everything. Perhaps there are some hidden spaces. Surveying equipment allows you to determine this, of course, the metal detector will not find.

In general, the arrival was successful for the colonel. Immediately he found 30 possible places for hiding places, 30 ruins. Maybe this is related to project 47086_1. But Baraz and the colonel did not explain and decipher. Yes, and why? Then the colonel will write a book and tell everything in more detail. He already promised to present 1 copy of the book Dara and Fang signed. So Dara was not very worried.

Since he quickly looked at the nearest mountains, "Pistachio" and "Rybnik" found several similar ruins. The truth is smaller. 5-7 houses, and according to the Dara database, in those mountains were Arabs caravanserais in Perm from the 7th to the 9th century. And then these caravanserais worked until the 17th century. So maybe they can find something interesting there. There were 5 ruins in the "Pistachio" mountains, and in the Rybnik mountains, Dara found one village ruin and three caravanserais or fortresses. It is necessary to clarify on the ground.

The good news was that the Rybnik mountains were only 15 km long and 1.5 km wide, and the Pistachio mountains were 35 km long and 5 km wide.

From the mountains "Light" they were 17 km and 30 km. So the camp base did not have to be mixed. Let the old people rest as in a holiday home. And they may well take a jeep and ride from morning to dinner to explore those places.

The colonel was not opposed, like places are not connected with that topographic map, but just in case, he gave one of his employees as a driver. In order to detect things from project 47086_1, he informed the colonel.

He called from the capital Small-An, a group of researchers from their research institute, they were supposed to arrive within 3 hours. 45 people to conduct comprehensive research. If they find something interesting, the colonel promised Dara to show it. All the same, he was the first to find this key!

...

Already in the evening, Dara and his three companions received confirmation of transfer of $ 160,000 each to their bank accounts. Of course it was not 200,000 dollars. but also not bad for 1 day of work, but everything was legalized, taxes paid, and there were no problems from the state to them. Dara and Fang also received a bonus, one for providing information on the ruins and a topographic map, and another for using drones in the search and discovery of caches. Dara received an additional $ 55,000 and Fang received $ 20,000.

Not bad at all.

...

The colonel drove into the valley, where Agabay and Firuz the Sage were tedious to show a feeling of respect for the elders.
