Dara seems to be just resting now

... unusual places. On the path of Dara, I heard signals 47, 88 several times. These were objects from the 21st century, almost on the surface of the soil. Small coins that have already gone out of circulation after several denominations. They cost nothing, but it was nice to find them anyway. The spring is copper. Traffic jams from Pepsi Cola. A pair of copper sleeves, from a carbine. Maybe poachers, or maybe the hunting inspectors shot. In winter, sometimes wolves descended from the mountains to the mountain valley.

Passing the old trees, Dara decided to check near the roots. Usually, this is an ideal place for hiding places and treasures. If the seeker does not find a small bag or small casket with gold and jewelry there, he will definitely find a couple of interesting coins.

Coins can be both the first empire and the era of the empires of Boss, Tang, Ming, Qing. Coins are copper, silver and even gold!

Indeed, the encouraging signals 88, 98, 48 and 87 have gone! They walked and walked. Apparently no one was looking for this place.

These were coins of the first and second empire copper 1 cent, 2 cents 5 cents. Not rare, but at the auction, it was possible to sell them for 30-40 dollars. There were also two golden buttons for senior officers of the first empire. Buttons of the 5th cavalry regiment. Behind the buttons were stamped stamps - the manufacturer, the year 1887 and sample 54 (i.e. 555). These buttons and they lay in the sand, the storage was almost perfect, they were at the auction, each for $ 87. Not bad, very bad!

It was also possible to find a cover from a silver cigarette case, though pierced by a bullet, it got stuck in it. Here, Dara, he could only speculate. Maybe in this forest officers were attacked, robbed, or maybe they fought back. No information was provided in archival data on skirmishes in the mountains.

Near the roots of millennial giants, Dara found two bronze coins of the Tang era, indicating the year (thanks to android) 698.

Several silver coins of the first empire of 1879 and 1888. Just 10 cents and 20 cents. They would have been auctioned for only $ 3-7 per coin. And the price of Tang coins was about $ 100 for 1 coin.

Already about to move on, Dara received a very good signal under the oak, which was 500 years old, the signal came from under the roots. Sharp, clear, 98, the golden signal! According to the metal detector, the find was at a depth of one and a half bayonet, that is 45 cm. Dara began to dig after he pulled a shovel that hung on his belt.

Mirbobo did not lag behind Dar, he also began to check the trees and the path. His findings were also good. He found 9 silver small coins of the first empire of 1867-1874, 10 and 15 cents. They cost nothing in the market, for every 2-3 dollars. But still a pleasant find.

He also found shells, large aluminum from under the rocket launcher, a lot of pieces 20. He wanted to throw them back, but Dara said that if he dismantled them, he could hand over the non-ferrous metal, could get 90 cents! They can buy half a portion of lunch, on the road such money is rarely lying around!

Mirbobo was amazed ... by the greed of the grandson of the general. So, the rumors that the general was very stingy and brought his family asceticism was true ?! Only such a person could have such a grandson! He only recently easily received $ 150,000. Means, could not worry about any 90 cents. But no, look, this Dara, take care of 90 cents and knows how much it costs half a serving of lunch? !! What can I say ... Dara, you really are an amazing person! You are very greedy!!!

Once Mirbobo heard the story that the general went to work in old shoes, his colleagues gave him a new one for his birthday. But he still walked into the old one! When asked why? The general replied, habit, protect, saving is called! Now the weather is sunny, but when it rains, then I will carry your gift!

Mirbobo did not find anything more valuable, only any rubbish, a chain from a bicycle, pieces of rusty iron for unknown purposes. Steering wheel from a motorcycle. A few tin buttons. It was worth nothing. He just dumped all this garbage in a hole and buried it.

Meanwhile, Dara was too keen on digging, he stopped feeling the passage of time. And it was already starting to get dark. Walking a couple more kilometers inland, the gorge was obviously stupid.

Mirbobo reminded Dara that it was time to get ready. But he did not hear him and continued to feverishly dig the earth! Mirbobo came closer, he saw that Dara had eyes that glow in a strange way, they can be said to burn, he grinned on his lips. Sweat oozed from his forehead. He called Dara, again, but did not wait for an answer. Then he touched his shoulder, Dara. He flinched, looked dumbfounded at Mirbobo with an empty look. Then somehow the whole turned over and came to his senses.

Dara "Oh, damn it, I was so carried away that I did not hear you! I found gold! A lot of gold! My gold! Gold!" His hands were trembling with excitement.

Mirbobo was surprised.

Dara, dismissing Mirbobo again, began to dig. Mirbobo was surprised. He came up. He took off his shovel from his belt and joined.

After 30 minutes, the work was completed when the shovels hit the metal.

There were coins, many coins.

It is a pity that a couple of coins went bad. But most importantly, they found something ?! The main thing is what?

Dara, recollecting himself, took out a large scarf from his backpack, began to pull out coins and put it in the center of the scarf. There were a lot of coins. His back even hurt. He was replaced by Mirbobo. In a few moments, they pulled out about 150 coins. Then they checked it again with a metal detector, but there was nothing there. Mirbobo began to examine the collected coins. And Dara reached out for a backpack and took out a pit, such a long metal wire of 1.5-2 meters, with a handle, something like a corkscrew. He did not have a scanner in order to see if there were any other objects beneath the ground besides iron. Therefore, poor people had simple tools. Dara began to probe the ground in the pit. Sometimes individual people hid the treasure one below the other. So that the robbers could find one layer and not touch the more expensive, which was lower.

Indeed, something was under the pit. The pit went 70 centimeters and froze. It was necessary to dig again. Dara took hold of a shovel. His back ached from an unusual job, but his desire to find what was hidden underground made him dig further! There was motivation! He was pouring cold sweat from his face, shortness of breath began, his hands began to tremble, and his heart ached, but Dara did not stop working. Mirbobo, seeing this state, suggested that Dara take a break and took up digging himself. Dara crouched down on the ground, took a breath, reached for a flask of water. I drank it. My heart stopped whining. He looked at the coins. They were yellow. There was an eagle on them. Two eagles. Three eagles. Coat of arms. it is on the reverse, and on the obverse was a man with a beard. The year was 1901. 10 tugriks. Dara, stupidly sorted through other coins, there were different years, but the total face value was from 5 to 10 tugriks. There were also golden Big-An tillas, several guineas, two imperials, several doubloons ... all gold coins. One golden cigarette case. Dara became interested in him, trying to open it. It did not work. Dara poured water on him. He began to brush his fingers. Found a button, pressed, nothing happened. Having taken out a knife, forged a cover, succumbed. Opened it. Inside were small stones, transparent, greenish, pink, yellow. Crystals ... it seems they were precious stones ... I got an android, turned on the electronic scale mode, set it to the carat weighing mode, it seems 0.2 grams. - poured stones, as in a dream, Dara did it all on the machine, like a robot or rather a cyborg. Weight showed 238 carats. Dara, I couldn't even figure out how much it could cost ...

Dara took a dynamometer from his backpack. Tied a scarf. Hung up. The approximate weight was 1.2 kg of gold coins and still weighs some cigarette cases. Somewhere only in gold could get 50 thousand dollars. And so if you sell for coins, it would be much more, since a 5-tugrik coin cost $ 160 and a 10-tugrik coin cost about 360 dollars. He did not yet know the value of foreign coins. But on could get about 75-80 thousand dollars, easy!

Mirbobo dug a pit. There were boards. Rotten. He pulled them out. There was a barrel, three small barrels. They were all wooden. Heavy by weight. With difficulty knocking down the bottom, they found sand, stones ... they were yellow! There were only three barrels weighing 3 kg each in the pit. There was nothing else in the pit, having pitted again, they found nothing more ...

It seems that it was a treasure - a cache of geologists, scouts, and maybe old gold diggers, judging by the old coins. They forgot about the treasure. It seems they got rich three hundred thousand dollars! And it seems that this treasure was not associated with this project 47086-1. However, in vain, the gift thought about it. Since looking at the bottom and walls of the barrels of Dara, I saw with horror the numbers 47086-1.

Mirbobo and Dara looked at each other in silence. Dara sat wearily on the ground. And Mirbobo turned on the radio ...

Dara only heard "Mr. Colonel, code 3, code 4.11"!

The night fell suddenly. After about 30 minutes, clever guys loaded the find in backpacks, the colonel busily examined the pit. Dara smiled, patted him on the shoulder, he talked something about patriotism, about his contribution to history. And Dara just wanted to go to sleep, he was so tired. The colonel said he would transfer money to them in the morning since the banks had already closed. But the total amount will be about 700 thousand dollars. But they cannot find so much money now. Dara waved his hand tiredly, he agreed to receive only part of the amount, and give the rest in favor of the state. Once talking about patriotism, then you need help! The colonel was glad that Dara understood that this since there was not so much really allocated money for project 47086-1. Therefore, the colonel said that he would transfer him 150 thousand dollars in the morning. Everyone was happy. Due to the fact that Dara was very tired and a little upset, he blurted out to the colonel that he thought that it was necessary to close the entire area of ​​the light Mountains and the territories surrounding them since all were 70,000 sq. M. km, apparently they were part of the project 47086-1. And if the colonel gives him immediately 500 thousand dollars to the account additionally, Dara is ready to share promising places for research. The colonel was glad, and immediately agreed! So Dara, I understand ...
