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

Misha came over from the other side to check on my results and was surprised when I showed him my finds. He and the guys found nothing but modern junk, and now they were ready to move to another site.

I tried to explain to him that there might not be another site and we should at least recover as many goodies as possible here. But my efforts did not have any effect on Misha even when I dug up another coin right in front of him.

Russian Imperial Coin

1843 1 Kopek, Czar Nicholas I

1843 1 Kopek Tsar Nicholas I

So we got in our vehicles and continued our journey.
