Metal Detecting at Kokorino Village Site in Siberia (Story 10), page 14
Finds of One Treasure Hunting Day
At that point, the daylight was out, it was getting dark quickly, and Sergei suggested to hunt until next coin was found. I did not mind to hunt longer as I was prepared for night metal detecting and put my headlamp on. It did not take me long to recover my next and last coin of the day.

I still could not believe how many coins were left behind by numerous metaldetectorists who had been visiting the site for three years. But who can imagine how many coins were found at this location in the begining! No doubt, there were still many coins remaining in that field and waiting to be discovered by the most advanced treasure hunters.
Sergei unearthed a couple of coins dated to the 19th century, but he could not believe how many coins I had found since he arrived. He was pleased that my program worked for him as well. He even called up his treasure hunting buddy and told him about it. I was glad that now more people would finally switch from Factory Preset Programs to the "Proved-To-Be-Productive" ones.
Second Group of Coins I Had Recovered Since the Moment of Sergei's Arrival
It was truly another eventful and successful treasure hunting day in Siberia for me. Once again, I proved that no site could be "hunted out" completely, no matter if everybody would say so. I felt satisfied and pleasantly tired. Too bad, I missed that episode on metal detecting, with me in it, on the evening news. Oh well, maybe next time.

Happy Hunting!

ANNOUNCEMENT:
In January of 2020, I started a one-time fund-raising campaign in attempt to accumulate enough money to buy a simple but reliable 4x4 vehicle. My old 4x4 car (made in 1995) had faithfully served me for 10 years before it eventually went beyond repair last October. Without a 4WD, I will not be able to get to my hunt sites and test-plots hidden in the remote wooded areas inaccessible by a regular car.
Unlucky for me, those sites are the only locations available and suitable for my field-work which results in informative articles you can find on this website. For the past 10 years, my usual field-work has consisted of field-testing the latest metal detectors and accessories, experimenting with some of them, and devising new effective search methods that meet the requirements of the new metal detecting reality.
Before my car died, I managed to finish a couple of interesting detector-testing projects which will be covered in my upcoming articles. But other equally important projects that I was working on were not completed and had to be postponed until the Spring 2020. I hope that this fund-raising campaign will help me get a decent 4x4 by then so that I will be able to resume my work and to write more new articles, tutorials and guides based on data gathered through testing and experimentation.
If you find my website useful and would like it to provide more essential info for you and other detectorists worldwide, please consider chipping in $5, $20, $50 or whatever you can afford to keep MetalDetectingWorld.com growing in 2020. I promise you, it will be money well spent. Thank you.
