As my son and I found a treasure

We offer you an interesting story about the discovery of the treasure in the plowed field.

Hello, SW. Komrad! I was lucky enough to go with the son of the discharge in kladokopateli hunters: the first time in over a year searching caught treasure.
And it was so. Upon completion of the trouble in the country, the son begged his wife in honor of February 23 and a half hours to dig the near field. Since last year, it is under the millet in anticipation of plowing: no dirt, gravel sand, walking is a pleasure.Previously there was raised a few dimes and two years 1928-30 Billon the same period. Since, according to the pre-war maps on this site and any nearby buildings, was, went not tight, just on the edge of the field, waiting for will be removed simply.

Only hinted at the prospect that all the coins were raised Piglet 5x3 meters. In general, we returned there without much enthusiasm, so to say, for the sake of "popikat."

The old place once climbed "advice": and again snouts yes Billon 10 and 20 cents 1928-1930 period. In total, the patch that has expanded to the size of 5x30 meters, we picked up a half dozen nickels, 4 - and two desyatikopeechnyh dvadtsatikopeechnyh coins. All -1928-1930 years. As it became clear it was raspahanny purse. In addition, this same portion of the field was pleased with two more coins dimes 1880 and th? 1896 penny that we added the same enthusiasm.
However, not my story about a purse. Knocking "harvest" phase, we went down the field on the bald patches of millet last year, due to which the owner decided not to remove the crop failure, and dig in the spring. Son "ran" on nastrel PCA I 20 cents in 1932. A few meters from the "extreme" finds suddenly appeared clear, but deep coin signal (this is my Asya publishes a large copper coin or rusty iron foil).
At a depth of about 80 cm to a meter, I stumbled on the cover, it seemed to me then some boxes of stainless steel.
Called son and jokingly asked: "GOLD want?."
- Of course I do, - he said, glancing at the bottom of skeptical dug pits.
A few minutes later on the surface of the earth has been removed old chrome Medical sterilizer for syringes.
- Stumpy - I stated, still not believing that it could be something.
Next followed a silent scene, during which the head of each of us spun only one - "Is really a treasure? . "

All doubts disappeared as soon as I opened the lid: over the old, partly decayed tissue in the form of long sausages, lay old wristwatch. Little torn fabric, our views opened ducats.
- Money in my ducats, - I said, and at that moment, when his son was ready to cry with joy, he added - but not the same as paper.
Alas - Bix helpful clogged prewar gold coins. Nevertheless, the mood of not fallen. Cheerfulness was provided.
Removing ducats, it was decided at home, soak a little distilled water, so as not to damage it. Road 30 km. cottages from home, as well as household chores before you start disassembling the treasure - seemed like an eternity. After all, what was at the bottom, we did not know. And this uncertainty gave imagination.

As it turned out, the money was carefully sewn into a belt of burlap in four tight twist. On the same day we still waited a little surprise bonus in the form of ... a party card and identity officers of the Red Army. This is perhaps - the most valuable thing, because allowed to identify the owner of the treasure, and even the time of his favorites.

This here sausage (twisting of the money in burlap) wore Red Army officer

That's all the contents of the casket. On the background of tight monetary twists two matches sparingly look absolutely
helpful proprietor who is Jewish, administrative officer of the Red Army service Evdeevich Weiner Jacob, born in 1908.Through resource "Feat people" quite unexpectedly discovered that Jacob Evdeevich survived grinder Kiev boiler and promoted to captain, was awarded the 1944 medal for "Military Merit", and in 1945 the Order of the Red Star. Just found out that this military bandsman was wounded twice in August 1941 and in 1944.

Membership card, it seems, on the edges covered in blood ...

Comparing what we found out with the history of the area, came to the conclusion that in late August 1941 in the Zolotonosha Jacob Viner, being wounded, was surrounded ("Kiev pot"). And, obviously, not hoping to get out to his own, at the same time - at the end of August 1941, buried in one of the few hills once marshland, all valuable, as well as documents.

Was it his own money, or state-owned, now we can only guess. In total, there were Bikse Wrist Watch "Kirov", 91 banknote three tenner, ie 273 tenner or 2730 rubles, membership card, certificate officer and for some reason two matches.
My son was born the idea to restore the clock to find relatives of Jacob Viner (if any) and pass them along with the documents to them.
's it, do not judge strictly, pictures doing on the phone. Since time was short, nature photo there, and most of the pictures taken at home during the autopsy.
