The Adventures of Treasure Hunters – 1 season - Chapter 63：Baraz suspects Dara in greed

That the pistachio mountains have very dry small mountain valleys. Having picked up archival data, Dara found out that some 170 years ago these mountain valleys were with water. but when almonds were first cut down on the slopes of the mountains, then a pistachio with woody vegetation. Strong erosion of the slopes began, all the water was gone.

Now the dry mountain valleys dejectedly did not please the eyes of a rare traveler. People left these mountains. Only on the southern slopes were small farms left. And in the north, salt was developed for the local two small towns.

On satellite images, the contours of rectangular buildings and three buildings are clearly visible. But unlike the mountains of Light, in these mountains, the buildings were not located along the parallels, but rather meridially. There were significantly fewer buildings, only a fort and several buildings nearby.

The total area of ​​such territories did not exceed 1000 square meters. meters. On the one hand it was depressing, on the other hand, a preliminary search for artifacts could be done faster.

Since there remained the Fisher Mountains with three groups of ruins and the Tsarskoye Mountains, they themselves were small on two sides of the steep slopes of the north and south, there were clearly visible two small forts.

Dara first rode in a jeep from the southern slope of the Pistachio mountains. Leaving the car with a driver so that it is not stolen. Baraz, Dara, Fang and Barno went north along the slope. Dara was looking at the navigator, he had precisely indicated the coordinates of the ruins. From which only the skeletons of the foundation remained.

Each took his metal detector, Fang began to explain the basics of Barno’s work. But Baraz and Dara did not begin to lose time, and each engaged in independent searches.

Dara decided to check at home first, and Baraz immediately went to the fort.

Baraz would be sure that according to the project 47086_1, the hiding places could be in the ruins of the old forts, in any case he wanted to test or refute his theory.

He began to drive a metal detector – empty. But after two meters, there was a squeak on range 44. Baraz began to dig, a coin came across the earliest second empire, a 1932 shield, copper and nickel, 10 cents. Nothing interesting. The price of such a coin at the auction was about 67 cents.

Three meters later, there was a squeak again and again 44. Probably a coin again? But no, it turned out to be a copper button with an eagle and in the center of the letter IP05. It looks like it was a button from the uniform of the fifth infantry regiment, 1867. Maybe from the uniform of a soldier participating in the subjugation campaign the Belaya – Willow form belonging to Small-An, which lay 40 km south of the Pistachi mountains. Then the first empire took action to conquer Small-An. Year after year, the Empire managed to bite off more and more new territories at Small-An, so that in 1878 it would be completely conquered and colonized. Nevertheless, the emperor, allowed the nobility of the principality to remain in power, simply cut their powers. Not allowed to engage in foreign policy. Cut off 60 percent of the territories, with a resource base. He forbade the minting of his coin. Replaced princely guards at the border, imperial soldiers. Built new forts on the border. Introduced third-class empire passports for new colonies. For which they did not have the right to settle on the territory of the empire, but could only arrive in cities and villages of the second class for 1 month. Prohibited to levy customs duties. He selected the best lands for his empire settlers. He banned the use of goods of higher quality from Britain, India, China, Persia. He transferred all the goods on the market to his own.

And so the nobles of the principality had their own army in the amount of 30,000 guards, even there were about 20 guns. In order to suppress the uprising within the given 40 percent territory of the principality.

How much information could be learned from a small button! Thought Baraz.

Having buried a hole, he began to inspect the territory further. Five meters later, there was a beep again – the numbers 99 loomed on the display! Maybe gold! Find!

Findings have not yet indicated that his colleagues from the distant past were here. Maybe he was wrong? But while it’s too early to talk about this, they have just begun their search.

I wonder how Dara and his company are doing, judging that Barno did not give a squeal of joy, she found nothing.

Looking around, Baraz noticed that Fang silently throws a poetic magnet into the well that he discovered, and Barno, having put the metal detector on the ground, is watching Fang enthusiastically.

He began to look through the eyes of Dara and did not find, the bastard left? Probably found something more interesting, knowing his greed for money, probably decided to hide the find and sell it in the quiet?

But then his tenacious eye noticed behind the ridge. Dara’s head, he was there. Leaving the metal detector on the ground near a couple of idiots, Baraz went to Dara.
