Mystery appears

They were relocated within 2 days. All the things that they took with them were checked, the houses were demolished so that they had no where to return. In the steppe, they worked throughout the Second World War and could only return home to the mountains in the 1970s. But they decided not to settle in the former ruined place, but at the bottom of the mountain gorge. They have already lost the habit of living in the mountains.

Probably those who hid the property were afraid of confiscation, unnecessary questions from the People's Commissar of Internal Affairs, and then on the plain, did not have time to tell about the treasure or something happened to them. So the treasure has remained untouched since the bookmark, that is, the 1925-30s.

How many more such treasures and hiding places are scattered but endless mountains, steppes, sprat in ruins and on mountain slopes? Unknown ?! But for sure, these treasures are in abundance! Throughout the entire existence of Small Ann in the second empire, which is 80 years old, it was surrendered to the state of treasures - with a total number of coins of 800,000! It was copper, silver, bronze, bone, brass, aluminum, gold coins. The age is from the 8th century BC to the mid 30-40s of the 20th century.

After the collapse of the second empire, local residents did not voluntarily surrender treasures to the state.

Well, not bad, only in a few hours they together with Dara earned about $ 60,000, these were coins previously found by Dara and what they found in the well. And how many more such ruins were in the mountains, and only these, and only this northern slope, and they were not yet on the other side ... They probably could raise a lot of money. Since the finds of the mid-19th and early 20th centuries could not be attributed to cultural heritage sites, it means that the treasure belonged to them, well, to the owner of the land, if they could find it.

It is good that they did not raise that weapon, there are more problems with it than benefits. And why attract extra attention to this place. Indeed, through the departments for the protection of cultural heritage monuments, a leak of information will certainly go. Therefore, treasure hunters and search engines are very reluctant to make contact with other organizations, only in exceptional cases.

As they say - green grapes! Therefore, you will need to see the second chest.

Time didn't mess with him. It was corroded by rust, the tree swam away, but it is surprising that this chest - casket did not fall apart when it ascended to the surface. Fang pushed and chain. She was interested in him, brands were visible on her and, most importantly, the scanner determined that the chain was made of non-ferrous metals.

She weighed decently, about 300 kg! While Dara was busy with the opening of a large chest box, Fang decided to check the chain with a metal detector.

Picking up the Dara metal detector, he connected it, surprisingly the metal finder began to give out signals that it was not silver !!! This is good luck! 300 kg of silver !!! Where did the mountaineers get silver? Stigma? Apparently, it was silver from the mines, and silver could be hidden earlier in the 13th century, for example, when the soldiers of Genghis Khan arrived (in February 1220), the craftsmen could melt the ore, forge the chain, and hide it in the well, because the well has already been 900 years old ! Or maybe it was later in the 16th century or 18th or before the advent of the second empire. They have been mining in these mountains for the last 3000 years - gold, copper, silver, turquoise, diamonds, amethyst, garnets, rock crystal. So anything is possible!

A probable guess lay in the chest, if of course it could survive?

Of course, a lot depended on the silver sample, but judging by the hallmarks it was 925 sample, which means that 1000.5 mass fractions contain 92.5 percent silver and 7.5 percent copper.

On a stock like scrap, such a chain could go for the amount of $ 1,357,362.89, and if it were a chain with history, the amount could be more. But if the chain was old, for example, the 13th century, then it would be easier to drown it in a well or to hand it over to the state anyway, since it would obviously be a monument of cultural heritage.

But Fanga was encouraged by the fact that the test was in modern Arabic numerals and the European font was named. So this is not ancient! Times of the 19th century, already gave relief. But selling 300 kg as scrap at once would attract attention, which means it will have to be sold in parts, Fang thought.

Yes! Not bad! Not bad!. On hand they receive 25 percent each! And the owner of the land is 50%, the law is the law!

That is, the land owner would have received - 678681.445 dollars and Fang and Dara at 339 340.7225 dollars and minus 11% of income tax. Very good money! And notice in less than 1 day!

Dara opened the box ... it contained a yellow plate, where the family coat of arms was knocked out, surnames and names, titles, year are indicated. There were also some pieces of paper ... the water did not spare them. A couple of coins - gray, yellow, several medals, these were crosses, a revolver, cartridges, an old pocket watch, an old copper compass, on the back, something was scratched ... but it was difficult to make out. It was necessary to treat the surface with soda to read what was written there.

A couple of stones, they were gray with white veins and yellow and gray crystals.

As well as a copper tube, in which spyglasses were usually stored. The neck of which was sealed.

A curious find! Definitely, some kind of secret fell through it!
