Crossing the B.C. Time Barrier at Medieval Market Site (Story 2)
When I dug up this target, I thought it was a bronze coin.
After I brushed the dirt off it, I noticed two prongs on another side. Most likely it had an Asian origin (its design reminded me of some finds I made in Siberia) and came with Mongol invasion in the 13th century.

As if to prove my theory, Dmitry got one Tatar-Mongolian hammered silver of Golden Horde Era.
And an iron arrowhead from that time period.
At that moment, I felt really beat because of the heat and humidity. But Dmitry, on the contrary, with Aleksei's help in digging, began picking up even small iron targets.
