My fascination with the former.





It was in 2008. Having read the stories I wanted to her, this same story, hands touch. I bought a metal detector, read the appropriate forums and started to think about where to go and where to dig. Stopped on villages (deserted and residential), the prohibition of excavation of archaeological sites has not been canceled, there will not be put. I found a map of Nizhniy Novgorod region in 1850, opened a toponymic dictionary, Google opened the card and began the fascinating search.
