Hello Dear comrades treasure-hunters.

A bit of history of the formation of forestry of tsarist Russia.

The first attempts to organize forest management were undertaken in 1815, when arrived from Petersburg NAMES Lisovsky, the administrator of the main office of count p. A. Stroganov, seeing near the roads a lot of brushwood, immediately offered to residential wood for all landowners ' and peasants ' needs harvested only from fallen branches and to clerks pointed farmers harvest area for harvesting timber. At the same time established the first watch of the three main caretakers, 11 caretakers and досмотрщиков from the peasants. In 1844 for the management of forests and their protection was set up a special state, which consisted of the following positions: chief Forester, district and factory foresters - 6, assistants foresters - 3, forest keepers - 27, forest Ranger - 20, guard - 174, just 243. In 1861 forest guard were elected from local peasants for a five year term.

To your attention the history of the Royal Guard of the forest called «Krivitskaya guardian».

Its apparatus Minelab X-TERRA 705 I purchased in April of the current year (... .04.2013 g) Internet - store http://metalaposhuk.by

Your first visit and search to a brand new unit I decided to check and look for forest Sentinel in your area i.e. the Republic of Belarus, Gomel region, Khoiniki district, village Омельковщина. About forest Sentinel me поведывал a colleague of my Father's work. And he (Colleague)his Father, and his father his Father who was the last Guardian (Forester) forest is the last Tsar Nicholas II until 1917 г.ХХвека. When in 1918 the Soviets came, the Forester and his family dispossessed and all their possessions confiscated, but they were sent to Siberia for voluntary settlements until 1934 After serving his family came back to his native village called Омельковщина.

And worked at the Soviet power in the collective farm «Path to communism» carpenter.

And, here I am with my Father and his colleague decided to look for a place where he served and worked his grandfather. Usually the Guards was located along the main roads at the crossroads or at the bend of the road. Worked a little bit with topographical maps: Schubert 1860s, gg release of the NINETEENTH century, The red army 1930-31 biennium release of the XX century, and also not without attention of Google Earth.

We went to punish the place where the most recent human stepped back in 1918 as I worked well with navigation I have not had any problems with the discovery of the remnants of the buildings and terrain Guards.

Very large cluster of wild pears-дичок testified about the action of man in this area. And also my surprise preserved полуразваленный a well of water.

Laid apparatus of the backpack I started collecting. On the yard in the forest reigned spring may weather. After assembling I configured it to optimum performance for the area. The first purpose of my examination was разваленный the Foundation of the building of the hut where the Guards. The first signal on a scale 22 jumped coin « 2 kopecks 1903 - Russian Copper coin».

The second good signal on a scale 44 jumped coin 5 Kopecks 1928 - Proletarians of all countries, unite».

After walking away from the remnants of the house in the direction of the well judging on the rights of the earth was cellar. Came the clear, loud, signal on a scale 48. Pulled to the surface 2 bayonet shovels of earth and the signal goes, turned another 2 bayonet earth and here went a swag. Out of the hole I dug a lot of broken crockery, clothes, forged nails, bones of animals, metal agricultural products: forks, shovel, axe, the veil of the door, and other

Good hacking in the pit, I continued my search in the direction of the well.

To my surprise about the well zipped weak squeaky signal on a scale 12-16. I took the coil unit aside and swung his shovel into the ground and twisted the clod of earth, and there before me did something yellow. Bent and deploying a clod I saw a badge.

«Artillery arms on a headdress lower ranks. The size of 60 x 55 mm»

Late at night, 3 hours of searching found only 2 coins and cockade, and other metal stuff. In General device has proven his good side. Here my story is over. Thank you for your attention.
