Metal Detecting in Ivanovo Region, Central Russia (Story 16)

We were headed to the next metal detecting site which was located on the outskirts of this village, but the only way to get there was through the minor ground depression at the street end. Andrei's car could not pass through and got stuck at the wet spot which did not look anything bad at all.

Thank God, we had Misha's Ford Ranger at hand! We got the sedan back on dry grounds but could not go forward towards the site and had to give up on it.

Now we had only one site to check out on the way to the meeting location, and getting there seemed to be a problem.

Careful Maneuvering

It was very disappointing to give up on another metal detecting site but we would not pass through these deep puddles without help of a tractor.

So we got back onto the "good" road and rushed to the meeting place trying to arrive there before the sunset.
