How to find old buildings. How to find a place for a cop without an old map

It makes no sense to hide that abandoned villages and other settlements are an object of research for many people who are enthusiastic treasure devices (and not only) people. Here there is where to get raised and lovers of attic search, and "call" basements of abandoned houses, explore the wells and MN. DR. Of course, the likelihood that your colleagues visited you in this village or local residents are very high, but, nevertheless, "knocked out" does not happen.

Causes that lead to the destruction of villages

Before starting the transfer of reasons, I would like to dwell on terminology in more detail. There are two concepts - abandoned settlements and disappeared settlements.

Disappeared settlements - geographical objectsToday, fully ceased to exist due to hostilities, man-made and natural disasters, time. At the site of such items, the forest can now be observed, a field, water, anything, but not standing abandoned houses. This category of objects is also interesting to the treasures, but now we are not talking about them.

Abandoned villages just belong to the category of abandoned settlements. Takes, villages, farm, etc., abandoned by residents. Unlike the disappeared settlements, abandoned in most part retain their architectural appearance, buildings and infrastructure, i.e. There are in a state close to the time when the settlement was left. So people went away why? Decline in economic activity that we can observe now when people from the villages seek to move to the city; war; catastrophes of various character (Chernobyl and its surroundings); Other conditions making accommodation in this region uncomfortable, unprofitable.

How to look for abandoned villages?

Naturally, before going down the head of the head to the search place, it is necessary to prepare theoretical base, speaking simple words, Calculate these very estimated places. This will help us a number of specific sources and tools.

Today, from the most accessible and enough informative sources is the Internet:

The second is quite popular and affordable source. - These are ordinary topographic maps. It would seem how can they be useful? Yes, very simple. First, on enough famous maps Gentster has already been marked and arugating, and non-residential villages. It is important to understand one thing that the tract is not only an abandoned settlement, but also just any part of the terrain other than the rest of the surrounding areas. And yet, at the site of the village, there may have been no village for a long time, well, nothing, go with a metal detector among the pits, make a metalwork, and you look and lucky. With non-residential villages, not everything is simple. They may not be completely non-residential, but to be used, say, under the cottages or may be settled illegally. In this case, I see no reason to take anything, the problems with the law are not needed by anyone, and the local population can be quite aggressive.

If you compare the same map of the General Staff and more modern satin can notice some differences. For example, there was a village in the forest at the General Staff, the road was led to her and suddenly the road was disappeared on the more modern map, most likely the inhabitants left the village and began to bother with repair of roads, etc.

The third source is local newspapers, local population, local museums. Chat more with aborigines, interesting topics for conversation will always be found, and between the case you can ask about the historical past of this region. What can the locals tell about? Yes, a lot about what, the location of the manor, the Barsky Pond, where there are abandoned houses or even abandoned villages, etc.

Local media are also a fairly informative source. Especially now, even the most provincial newspapers are trying / trying to acquire their own sites, where they carefully lay out separate notes or even entire archives. Journalists are much going through their affairs, take interviews, including old-timers, who in the course of the stories like to mention various interesting facts.

Do not go to the provincial local lore museums. Not only are their expositions are often interesting, so the employee of the museum or guide can also tell you a lot of interesting things.

What could be more interesting to search for new places for kopa? Probably the search process itself with a metal detector. After all, if you figure it out, all search engines can be divided into several categories. Someone acquired a metal detector for fun and goes to search only occasionally, while a person is not ready to invest and spend money on this hobby.

Such people rarely when completely give themselves to this hobby, respectively, and searching for them is limited to a territory that is adjacent to the house (if we are talking about the inhabitants of the village), or they visit the fields closest to the metropolis. As a rule, this category of citizens in rare cases is chosen on a kopeck for hundreds or two kilometers. And this is normal, because for them a cop is just a one-time adventure of thousands of possible, each one.

Another category of search engines is a person who is imbued with this kind of hobby, but for which it is not the main or there are any restrictions in order to completely surrender to the search case. For example, a person has a shortage of time, he does not have a car, a person is passionate about some other hobby, which stops with a treasurebling (tourism, hunting, fishing, and so on). People from this group dedicate much more time to search, sometimes learning old cards, but still for them the priority is the main hobby, and the folding of the second plan and the search with the metal detector is a pleasant addition.

True treasures

Well, finally, the third group of people is true treasure detectors who have left their heads. For such people, search is a hobby, adrenaline, emotions, they are completely distracted and abstracts from pressing problems when they are engaged in treasure. We can say that they live in morally. Accordingly, winter for them is time to sum up the outgoing season, well, and find new places, make a plan for the next season.

We have already talked about finding new places, and a variety of programs that allow you to look at the world from space are a huge help. But, in addition to the satellite, quite by the way and old cards that can give a search engine for a lot of information. For example, on numerous forums, many treackers write about how to use old maps, how to impose them to new ones, how to make binding and so on. I use these methods, but I have been engaged in the treasure, no one year, for myself I developed my strategy for finding new places.

For example, one of the search engines seeks to find the disappeared village. And this is good if you manage to find it. But, as a rule, such villages have already been accomplished by search engines and treasures not once. And although, there are no flooded places, this rule needs to know, and it really works, but much more pleasant to look for where the field is evenly and not visible to the cams. So, in addition to the previously existing villages on the old maps, I am looking for both those that exist now. There are much more such settlements than the villages of the villages, therefore, you can safely go to search in the vicinity of such a village.

Experience shows that if you found a village, which is at least 100-150 years old, then there is no one about the year around it with a circle of 1500-2000 meters around one year very well and with finds to continue searching in this place. It is good for the rivers, especially where there were mills earlier. This information can be obtained from old cards. It is difficult to find exact place, but there is a trick. As a rule, the river for 100-200 years retains its channel. Therefore, with some probability, you can combine the map with a satellite image, focusing on the river bed. Well, then - the case of technology.

They found an approximate point, score it into the navigator, and already on the area inspect. Accuracy, in this case, can vary, and sometimes you must first be on the spot without a metal detector, go through 1-3 kilometers along the shore in both directions. But, a number of signs will definitely indicate that there could be a mill: a comfortable coast, a good approach, waters, old roads and so on. Well, do not forget to talk with local, which can tell something about the place.

Using forums for treasurefishing

You can search for places and reading forums. Someone from the cams can boast of finds, and if you recognized the place (or the forum users wrote themselves, or somehow learned the place in the photographs), it may be quite successful to enter the sections bordering this place. For example, there was a case as one of the acquaintances to me search engines found one chabar field, we were very good there at one time. But everything comes to everything.

So, the cards said that there was nothing more to do, but we decided to explore the adjacent to interesting field Forest, pass a plot of 1300 meters, deepening in the forest for no more than 100-150 meters. The plot is huge, and it is clear that it all go through it is not one day. But we traveled it periodically, and slowly led with metal detectors. The calculation was simple: if the field is so habarous, people have previously planted there, the same people could go into and a fitting forest, relax or hide something, could and lose something. As a result, the coins were, buttons, and other interesting findings.

As you can see, search for search spaces different ways, And each treastener over the years produces its search scheme. And browsing the cards in winter (most different cards on a different scale), you can open a lot for yourself. By the way, do not forget to celebrate the most interesting points in my navigator, where you had a find. When these points are more than a dozen, you can "draw" an interesting card that "opens" on a lot of eyes. And what are your secrets for choosing a place for a cop?

If you do research activities, directing or treasure, you need to know what features, you can determine the place of ancient settlement. Another important item lies in the fact that carrying unauthorized excavations in such places is prohibited by law. We must try to make up detailed description Casual finds, places and report to the local history museum and archaeologists. Now it can be done on the Internet.

Relief area.

Ancient people settled most often on broken having natural fences.These are high capes when merging two rivers, not flooded with the island, natural elevations. Thus, they could see the approaching enemy on time, besides, the height gave a combat advantage. And the river served as a natural fence, as well as gave drinking water and food. Some rivers over time changed the channel and often you can find settlements on small tributaries.

Often the place of an ancient settlement is fenced with moat or shaft. Over time, the ditch became a small groove, and the shaft - the line of Bugrov. Many settlements are easy to read from the air. And now with the ability to use such resources as satellite maps Google and Yandex, you can convince one of them. On our site there are appropriate maps.

Country

The main signs of the place of ancient settlement is the service, objects and details of objects pointing to archaeology and, of course, fragments of ceramic products. This is a ceramics with an ornament, lacquered with a pattern, casually imposed, on the layer, you can consider inclusions of seashells, river and sand, the presence of bubbles, porcelain with a double-sided pattern.

The depth of the accompanying parts of items and ceramic fragments can be different from several tens of centimeters, up to several meters, depending on natural conditions terrain, soil composition. Another sign is a large cluster of animal and fish bones and fish with ash, often in coastal ancient settlements, you can find bone products: decorations, handles. It is possible to find ceramic and glass beads with an uncomplicated pattern. Of building material: Limestone stone and non-standard brick sizes.

The continuity of cultures.

For the Rostov region in choosing a place for settlements and arrangements is characterized by the continuity of cultures. Good seatsA little suitable for safe existence on Don, all the same mainly steppes and beams, and therefore, the early settlements can be traced early. And key cities like Rostov-on-Don, Azov and Taganrog have an antique and even daunty story.

Of course, the work of researchers and archaeologists today is currently welcome. Russian archeology is underfunded, among scientists there are wishing to heal on finds. But in the Rostov region there are archaeologists and local local lores and researchers of our region who have close contact and perform joint intelligence on the ground.

Interesting materials of the site

General recommendations and rules for finding the location of ancient settlements in your area. How do you understand? There are no such settlements on the maps, as it was a period when the cards were still not (in any case detailed). So, armed with knowledge and metal detector, you can make a discovery in the form of a detected ancient settlement, Selishche, a settlement!

1) See Acre (archaeological map) of your area and notice the characteristics where people lived (Look for regularities, think and analyze). Attention! Dig on the site of existing (identified) archaeological objects is prohibited by law! Acre will help you to find out just where it is impossible to dig. it reference Information In order to understand where ancient people lived in your area, to understand patterns and logic.

2) People always lived in the water (i.e. look for such antiquities only next to water)

3) People needed convenient approaches to water, but at the same time so that the flood did not flood them (the steep 30-meter clotched coast does not go, if he is so everywhere .... too gently fucking too - floods)

4) When walking along the river - Pay attention and turn on the fantasy - see where it wanted to live yourself? (Whether you are an ancient settler of Russia) from the point of view of beauty, amenities, it is possible to combine sowing activities with hunting and fishing. Such places are usually visible immediately, you feel them!

5) What you have to do - walk and admire nature! This is how it is different! But periodically digging signals. therefore treat such trip philosophically. It is not a blockage with the villages of the 19th century to look. Here luck and kilometers have passed are important.

6) Speak need iron first. And look for objects of ancient life from iron (knives, tips, axes, etc.). The presence of an ancient color signal is not worth waiting, such signals are rare, more rare than other types of search.

If you find ancient settlement Which is not in the mentions of local local lores, there is no His on AKR - report it to archaeologists or local local lore organizations! This is the newly identified archaeological and historical object to be learned by specialists. Save the story for everyone!

How to calculate delicious place for the corop Without XVIII-XX centuries.? This question is interested in very many instrument search lovers, and every year it is more complicated to answer it and more difficult.

I live in Nizhny Novgorod region, our edges are very rich in forests, however, in lately They are mercilessly cut down. Nevertheless, so far our area is sufficiently wood and anyone who did not overgrown islands in the forest (glades) always cause interest. And if there is a lake or a stream nearby, then go and explore the place is simply necessary in my opinion.

So, first feature The former place of residence of people - Polyany in the forest. Perhaps they will be a little overgrown with young birch. These trees are well taken out on the soil in which there are many organic matter. An additional tip is the presence of a reservoir. If he turned into a stream or disappeared, then the snake will be visible from small thickets.

Second signnoted by the existence of the village, the presence of a close of the cemetery. On Yandex maps, in most cases, the marks of the cemetery remain. Cemetery separately from the village can not be, respectively, somewhere nearby you need to look for a tract. Since ancient times, the cemetery tried to position it so that the river or stream leaks between him and the village (any running water). According to the legends, the river separated the world of alive from the world of the dead. It was believed that the dead would not be able to move to alive through the river. Water artery was a natural guard, protection against penetration of the entire otherworldly.

Third sign, It is leaving in the forest or field from the place of the former village road. In most cases, the vintage roads have been preserved and at our day, in any case, on the spaces can be assumed, where they once passed. Plus, minus a few meters to the right, left. Such small displacements occur when expensive are in bad weather. People choose where land and join the hlyb, so it turns out a new risk. This road can again withdraw a small clearing. It is likely that the urgent glade will be very curious.

Fourth sign (not 100%), it is almost a linear planting of trees. The trees themselves are smooth lines (ranks) almost never grow. So they were so planted, or once cut off the extra trees that prevent something.

Fifth signit is more correct to say - a way, it is to go to the living village nearest to the point of interest and try to get information from local residents. It is better to take some treat (gingerbread, candy) with you. Local grandmothers you with pleasure (not always, of course) will tell you what the village was, and he may still remember who lived there.

Sixth signYou probably know everything. Having arrived in place to examine it, suddenly there are remains of foundations, broken brick, ceramics. I advise you to get on all metals in a new place and dig all the signals at least thirty minutes. It will help you very much in search. You can imagine what and where it was (here the house was, here Iron a bunch - apparently fur. Yard).

Finally.

When the first four signs come together, then I assure you to be moved to the place without thinking. These methods are verified by me personally and more than once. There are a lot of such points, because not all the farm and cuts were marked on the maps. So if not to be lazy and sit on spaces and modern cards Even the other, using these tips you can find an interesting search place..
