And so, finding two or three caravanserais on the map, I mark equal distances of 35 and 37 km, then I look at them in a satellite image . They are all digital . Take off the coordinates . I arrive at the place, on the navigators I find these points . I launch the drone, it from a height of 200 meters helps me determine where the remains of the ruins can be located .

And when I went to this place with the help of a navigator and a drone shot, I began to comb the area . . . for the presence of shards of ceramics, as a rule, they immediately lay on the green . The remains of bricks . Coins, b.u.t.tons, nails, chains . . . Sometimes I find it right away . Sometimes not . Then I plug in the geophysical equipment and look for voids . . . I compose a geophysical map . . . and after that I raise information from the thematic database .

Now it has become easier to work . Since I use satellite Internet, from the antenna, and earlier . . . and now the mobile Internet, like the stationary one, works in the areas "below the baseboard" (the local expression for very s.h.i.+tty works) .

I can immediately go to paid databases in various electronic libraries around the world . Therefore, as a rule, in 8 cases out of 10 I can get information about a particular subject or object .

Advertis.e.m.e.nt

- "Dear, are you just doing this for a hobby or is it your job, you are making money on this"? He asked, intrigued by Dara .

Well, what can I tell you . At first I was carried away as a hobby, and now I am making money on it . I'm leading a YouTube channel, I get money from advertising, I sell finds . With advertising, I get 300-500 dollars a month, now I have 400,000 subscribers for my channel . Sometimes manufacturers or online retailers selling search equipment enter into a contract with me for 3-6 months . I advertise equipment on my channel, test it and for this I get another $ 300 a month . Well, sometimes there are valuable finds that can make a profit in 4 days of searching as in 3 years of work . And sometimes weekly finds barely cover the amount spent on gasoline and energy for tools, and sometimes even go to minus .

This is when, instead of coins and some ancient and old objects, I raise all trash - like "Fingers" for tractors, some kind of iron sc.r.a.p . On the collected iron, a lot of money does not make 1 kg costs us 30 cents . The cost of travel will not pay for the transportation of the found iron to a metal collection point .

- And what except coins can be sold? asked Dara .

b.u.t.tons, arrowheads and spears, axes, irons, but this good is not enough on the plain . Sometimes there is an old harness, collectors give good money, especially if it is a clan harness . It was usually made of silver with semi-precious stones, locally produced . Turquoise, carnelian, amethyst, garnet, less often rhinestone and river pearls .

- Yeah, the most expensive pearl, used to be sea, then lake, followed by river, and in the last place cave of the mountain, cave lakes . He said with the air of a connoisseur, Dara .

Wow! So you know something too! Joking, the historian remarked!

"Yes, no" (a local expression - showing confusion, an excuse) - I just read something about it from Frank Pursel, a French cave explorer . Confusedly answered, Dara .

Well, you're right, Dara, the historian said . So I practically didn't have any pearls, 2 for several years . .

Well, sometimes you can find jewelry, earrings, rings, rings . . . and head jewelry . They were usually made of royal silver and less often gold coins .

Then consider that you hit the jackpot . Such an decoration in incomplete form costs about 600 dollars, and if complete, then all 5000 dollars .

"And what is it all just for the money?" You, as a historian, don't you want to systematize all this? With the fuse of a young and green (naive) university graduate, Dara said .

Why don't I want to? Want! Yes, and I do! Slowly!

I want to make an electronic atlas - reconstruction of roads - Arab time and Chinese, trade roads and trade infrastructure . Completely find all caravanserais, lost cities, bazaars of barter trade .
