There is nothing like treasure hunting in Russia! 1000 years of eventful history, vast historical areas with numerous ghost-villages, availability of good historical maps, diverse numismatic history that provides variety of coin finds and collectibles, abundance of relics and artifacts (relic hunting is not popular there yet), absence of the "Posted" signs (vast territories have no ownership) - all that makes the process of metal detecting in Russia truly enjoyable!
