The thought on that somewhere underground lies a heap of ownerless money, in popular speech named a treasure, excites many people. The owner who has dug money of some honeycombs, and can be thousand years ago, hardly is behind the riches. Only the spirit turns it over a reserved place, howling and silently sobbing, regretting for those pleasures which it could receive for these riches during lifetime.
It is assured that each inhabitant of a big city of ten times passed by someone the treasure dug underground, without guessing at all it. Archeologists know that there are so-called many-tier treasures when under a treasure buried rather recently, it appears another is hidden, even more ancient.
So in Moscow, at heating main building, in a dredge ladle there were at once coins from three treasures buried during different epoch! Probably for the person hiding a treasure, certain places possess attractive, a mystic force.
In territory of the Kremlin 24 treasures were revealed. It is possible to name some the present treasures. So, in May, 1988 three hundred silver ornaments domongolskogo time, found out here, have once been combined in a wooden trunk with copper handles.
But there were treasures and is larger. As a result of the excavation spent in territory old gostinogo of a court yard, from the earth clay vessels have been taken. In vessels there were 95 429 Russian coins and 335 West European. This treasure is unique. In the field of numismatics to it is not present equal in Russia.
And the most sensational find of last decades — 114,5 kg of the gold which has been found out in Leningrad on October, 26th, 1965.
«We have received this message late at night, —« the Leningrad truth »wrote on October, 27th 1965 year. — Eight ingots of gold of 900th test the brigade of 33rd management of trust № has found 3 Glavleningradstroja. Members of the brigade headed by G.Sljunkovym, working at the corner of streets Garden and Lomonosov, have found out at first one, and then seven more ingots of precious metal».
Certainly, it is a unique find, but in 1981 at the bottom of Barents sea the treasure more valuable has been found. Divers have lifted from the sunk cruiser "Edinburgh" more than five tons of gold.
According to official figures the eighth part of all gold extracted by mankind lies on a sea-bottom and underground. And our country, probably, the leader on ability to earth money. So has historically developed that at various times people had bases to hide riches not only from neighbours, but also from the state. So the sphere of action here is extraordinary wide.
Our century which has put to the romanticist on a rationale, has managed to rationalise even such noble employment, as kladoiskatelstvo. Instead of under the screen of night going somewhere with a pick and a spade, and then to explain to passers that with a chest mushroomed, you buy the metal detector (as it now name — metallodetektor), employ navvies and watchmen and go on searches of the remained romanticism.
The modern metal detector — a piece not cheap. To buy such which not only peeps but also which can be adjusted on search of certain metals (not iron nails after all you go to search), you should fork up on one and a half thousand dollars.
But it yet a limit. There is such piece which name a georadar so its price reaches fifty thousand dollars. He costs as a good treasure, but on the screen it is visible that is underground on many metres deep into.
Cost found is only one party of a medal, another is a historical and art value. Here the price of a clay crock can equal to a gold ingot. Think, what I exaggerate? At all. For example, one of the most courageous hypotheses confirms: signs by which vessels tripolskoj cultures, not an ornament, and the most ancient on the earth writing are covered!
