Metal Detecting In Ukraine - Relic Hunting at the Cultural Settlement Bezradichi, circa 12th-13th Centuries (Story 1)
Finally I decided to visit my cousin Mikhail and his wife Marina in Kiev, Ukraine, after five years of not seing them. Last time I was visiting them with my American girl-friend Shelly, I brought my metal detector with me, and we went exploring the WWII battlefields in the Kiev suburbs.
All we found back then was nothing but the usual military artifacts. This time I wanted to explore the sites that potentially could yield the artifacts and coins dated back to the Medieval Times and even earlier periods.
One night in June, I arrived to Kiev

Misha and Marina picked me up off the train from St. Petersburg, Russia.

Somehow we managed to put my huge duffle bag into their new Citroen's small trunk.

Their apartment was in the Khruschev era type of the apartment building, on the fifth floor.

Like many apartments in Ukraine and Russia that I'd seen before, their was remodeled in a modern way, and it looked nice!

Unfortunately, the heavy rain started the next day and continued for a few days.
