In Soviet military archives, especially in different materials of interrogations of captured (they all survived), there are many data about the buried treasures. Of course, there and a lot of fiction, but there are truthful testimony.
A lot of interesting for treasure hunters. data is stored in the captured archives, removed from Germany. But not all these files are collected in Podolsk. Many archives have their funds. Such archives are located in the Ukraine, in Lithuania, Pskov and other places. Of great interest to hunters are German maps end war. A very valuable map of Courland cauldron. At the end of the war everyone knew that the inevitable capitulation of Germany. Many officers of the Wehrmacht was buried various value in the land, and they did it near a topographical landmarks in the hope easy to find them after the war. Especially rich in such treasures Kaliningrad region.
Many of the legendary treasure known in Central Russia, the Urals and Siberia. In over the past centuries enthusiasts attempted to find them, but to no avail. Apparently, in this case requires a very high persistence and intuition. Or maybe they really are as far as possible? An example of a good treasure hunt one of the legendary treasures is Heinrich Schliemann, which have dug out the Ancient city of Troy, which is mentioned by Homer as a mythical city that existed 200 years before Homer. The intuition of Schliemann and scattered information in mythology ancient Greek epic gave brilliant results in 1909, when he found this the myth not only documentary, but also material evidence in the form of gold products from treasures of king Priam.

Treasure search is a very serious business and requires careful planning, credits modern technology.
Abroad treasure hunting is a developing industry.
Targeted treasure hunts, differs significantly from the search for coins. Skills to work with the device, of course, useful to you, but tactics and strategy search already other. No one will tell you where there are good places to search for (be coins, gold nuggets, treasure, etc.). You must find them by research, and then check out these places in practice. Finding treasure requires first of all, long and laborious work in libraries and archives, verification visits for the reconnaissance of the terrain, with interviews with old-timers and etc. These are professionals who have 99% of time on studies and training.
Beginners sometimes find treasures, but it happens quite by accident.
Practice shows that the hoards were buried shallowly - usually 1 to 2 bayonet spade (25-50 cm), and in softer earth, because its easier to dig. Therefore, if the treasure is large enough, then even a simple metal detector will be able to detect. There are hoards of dimes, numbering from 200 to 1000 or more coins. Treasures of the XV-XVII centuries were usually small and consisted of 50-500 silver kopecks. And to discover them, you need to apply the devices, with enhanced sensitivity using a large coil (Tesoro Tejon, XLT or White's DFX, Explorer II or SE, GTI 2500 Garrett, etc.). The use of headphones allows you to hear signals from deeper finds. Work should be carried out in the mode "All metals", i.e. without discrimination. If you will discriminate out iron, you can skip the treasure of gold or silver coins, hidden in an iron pot or piece of pipe.
Special deep devices with spaced antennas - TM 808, Geminy-W - allow quick scanning of large areas and detect objects the size of a quart jar at a depth of 100-130 cm And on a small metal garbage they do not react. These devices are worn on the handle, like a suitcase, i.e. do not drive them out side-to-side. The threshold tone changes slightly to the beat of the walk. If the ground minerals and causing electrical interference, it is necessary to raise the instrument above the ground and reduce sensitivity. When an object is detected volume threshold tone significantly increases. Insert into the ground a stake in the place where it happened, then, going forward a few meters, turn around and walk in the opposite direction. In where the threshold tone is increased, insert into the ground the second peg. Object will be midway between the two pegs. For a more accurate location-walk with the device in a perpendicular direction, sticking two peg Then you can dig up the find or at least to check the dipstick, if you allow the soil.
For successful treasure hunting requires great experience with a metal detector and the ability to analyze. You must learn to put themselves in the position of a person sampanskeho the treasure you are looking for. If you bury a treasure, you should choose some secret place and a certain time (night, rain). And this place should be such that you could then find it. Practice the burying of the treasure. Take a jar of coins or the like and try somewhere to bury her. By doing this, ask yourself a few questions, probably stood in front of a man, sakapasim treasure. You do this afternoon? You get out into the yard and start digging a hole? Probably not, because you do not want to have someone see what you're doing. That is, select the correct time and the right place for burying treasure. If I then its easy to find? Can if someone else accidentally discover? Is this safe place? Many other questions will appear when you dig your own treasure and perepryatyvat it elsewhere.
Such training is useful because develop your imagination and help in the search for treasure.
In addition to the metal detector, you must have a shovel with a long handle. If allows the soil, it is sometimes useful to apply the probe, made of hardened steel rod with a diameter of 1 cm.
Learning to work with the stylus, you will be able to determine the material stumbles probe - glass, rusty bucket, stone, wood, bone, etc.
It should be borne in mind that finding treasure is associated with considerable financial costs. Apart from the acquisition of the underlying instrument, much time and money is spent on frequent visits to ascertain the existence of the treasure. Sometimes you have to pay big money for the information about the treasure that checking can be unreliable. Not to be disappointed, which is typical for beginners in this fact, it is recommended to work on several projects simultaneously.
Experienced treasure hunters trying not to attract attention. Devices and other equipment carry in backpacks or bags. Sometimes even work night, good computer devices having a backlight of the display, allow it to do
It happens that you can invite to help find the treasure hidden somewhere in garden relatives during the revolution or the great Patriotic war. If you already have experience, do not refuse such work, but first will definitely arrange a contract in writing, where you shall see for this service in the form of a certain percentage of the found treasure is usually from 20 to 50% upon agreement, although the law in this case, you are entitled to 50%. However, some owners of land, presenting a chest of gold, I expect enough for less than half of the treasure. Sometimes it makes sense to them agree, even though the treasure is in reality small.
