Relic Hunting In Karelia
Second "Virgin" Site Discovery
What pleased my eyes was a utility pole which did not have any wires - always a good sign of the ghost settlement site.
I found a patch of tall grass in the middle of which I could leave my bicycle and gear, out of view of unexpected passerby.
And that was where I started relic hunting - metal detecting in All-Metal mode with the highest sensitivity setting. Right away, I began receiving many signals from the iron nails, always a good indication of a former settlement.
10 minutes later, I got a solid bronze signal and dug up my first find.
A Bronze Household Hook
Most likely it was made in the 19th century considering the type of drilled holes, but I was not sure.
What puzzled me the most was a tiny pentagonal nick.
