Nobody can tell the real story of this finding. Nobody knows who buried it here, at the place where a Cossack village used be situated more than 200 years ago. But we can only imagine what euphoria is felt when you manage to find something so old and precious. It’s like a time travel, like touching the history of your ancestors.
A couple of guys whose hobby is looking for old buried stuff were lucky enough to find 297 five-kopeck coins of czarinas Elizabeth and Catherine and 27 silver coins of different denominations. The “youngest” of them are dated 1802.

“Fascinating?” Maybe. All I see are blue squares with question marks in them! Time to go to the link! Hope that works better!
To: knarf
Well,,,, I could see the pics at the link, but there’s virtually no info, no story.
To: DeaconBenjamin

Even more amazing is the fact they didn’t blow themselves apart digging up some live Great Patriotic War ordinance.
