A story of one discovery or how treasure hunters help scientists | Dmitri Shutov | TEDxLasnamäe


Hello

for sure many

present

today in the hall

I wonder how much

treasure found worthy

The front of you now

in fact, a man

to talk about

so mysterious and

shrouded in myths topic

as its up to the finder

it is necessary to have

personal baggage as

at least a dozen

found chests with

treasures

participating in a variety of

joint projects with

professional

archaeologists I received

unforgettable

interesting experience

interactions

scientists and enthusiasts

history of amateurs and

I’m sure it’s

this experience is

greatest contribution

which I have ever

I also found this

I am ready today

share with you but

since experience is difficult

materialize

I’ll tell you about

find a unique

treasure which which

was found during

project

organized

search engine

local lore club

kamerad one of the

managers

which I am

what did we look for and what

have found

and we were looking for a place

medieval battle

occurred in

February 1268 between

between the armies of the server

Russian principalities and

united forces

the Livonian Order and

Danish Estland

The battle took place

there was a circle near

rocawear cities and

thirteenth century

the Russians called

Cancer City Cancer

a thief and from here goes

the name of this

battles cancer avar

battle is a battle

carries the title of

large-scale

a major battle

medieval

Estonia is more

the battle was over

scale even

larger than ice

a slaughter of an attempt

find a place

of the battle

have been undertaken since

nineteenth century

but unfortunately

unsuccessfully

also we failed

still find a place

this battle but

we discovered

a lot of interesting

find one of the

which lay Roman

coins 3 4 centuries of our

era I would like today

you tell in the course of

searches instead of

This battle, we

chosen to

large

field territories

near rakvere

I appreciate this parish

The track of faith was torn and

a team of 20-30 people

within a few

days systematically

were examined at

assistance

metal detector

data fields and that’s what

happened

one wonderful

sunny April

in the morning on one of the

I found

first Roman coin

by doing several

steps aside i

I hear a similar

signal and appears

to the light 2 Roman

coin

I thought it was not

accidentally two coins in

one place is quite

maybe it’s a treasure I

I put aside

I take a shovel

metal detector

check the territory

within a radius of 5 meters

around and make sure

that the earth literally

stuffed

similar signals

as they were in these two

I take the coins in my hands

I associate the phone with

Department of Protection

monuments of antiquity

after a while

on a place leave

specialists

department and

archeologists

together with

archeologists we do

we extract from the

lands

we fix the coins

arrangement of coins

we fix the obstacles

coordinates

arrangement of coins and

coins are sent

further conservation

and restoration in

I want a laboratory

note that coins

of this treasure were

very different

status and

required

serious approach to their

cleaning by cleaning

conservation of coins

lasted almost two

year of the coin literally

had to save

on this slide you

see above the coins

post-cleaning and bottom

coins after

conservation and cleaning

here it is already possible

watch

beautiful shiny

peeled coins

after restoration

March 1, 2017

treasure of these coins

took his place in

exposition

art museum

Tartu

university where

everyone can

to meet him

smooth month

back this

exhibition them for plaza

correct actions

upon detection

extract this

treasury of Roman coins

our club received

thanks from

Minister of Culture

of Estonia

in Estonia this is the most

great contribution

Roman coins

have ever been found

and the uniqueness of this

The treasure also consists of

that two-thirds

coins of this treasure

minted not in the

Roman Empire and in

provincial Rome

this is the current

turkey and finds

similar

provincial coins

even single

are large

a rarity of themselves

yourself for our places and

I want to note that

such a treasure is not

was found even in

the entire Baltic

discovery found

search engine

gave

opportunity

enabled

to learned archaeologists

draw conclusions and

do research

on relationships

ancient inhabitants

estonia with the rest

peace and took

a worthy place in

I want to see the museum

pay attention to that

correct actions

upon detection

findings from a cultural

with cultural

value

scientists get a lot of

additional

context information

finds and this

information is often

view of only

specialist whose eye

imprisoned on her

detection therefore

are so important

interacting

search engines

lovers and

professionals

find

cultural value

belongs

the state is not a forest

who found him and her

or nights of the earth she

It was found namely

the state and

the moment of detection

cultural

value is

under protection

any

actions in relation to

this find

administratively or

even criminally

punishable so that

jokes with cultural

values ​​and estonia

bad state

important is to preserve

cultural heritage

since this part and

Dante theta and communication with

past generations

and often interpreted

history to explore

history of the story can be

only on

archaeological

finds

Unfortunately

written sources

appear in Estonia

only from the 13th century and

all that

occurred earlier in

territory of Estonia

can only be judged

only on

archaeological

finds

changed in 2011

year

legislation in

field of protection

monuments of antiquity

enabled

legally

use

metal detector for

search for items from

cultural value

search for antiquities

after

specialized

courses and receiving

permission from

Department of Protection

monuments on

courses explain where

you can search for

act under

detection of that or

other find with whom

communicate in that or

situation and

give a lot of useful

information

necessary

beginner

treasure hunters

it’s been 6 years already

current system

permissions and you can

make certain

conclusions and analysis

work of this system in

In general I want to note

with the introduction

permitting systems

quantity

of the

the State of Lost and Found

significantly increased

has multiplied

and not for nothing

it turned out

real possibility

to do something

really important

for the benefit of science and then

same time to get from

apple get money

remuneration for

cultural

value up to

an important factor

remuneration

is paid in 100 in

the amount of one hundred percent

estimated value

on a photo not 50

interest or

some other

the ratio viz.

100 percent and

paid exactly

who found the find

amount of remuneration

is determined

expert commission

consisting of

specialists and

amount of remuneration

depends not only on

material

values ​​found

subject matter but also from

complex correctly

on detection

finds

thereby

many finds

which before

left and swam away to

black market

now appears in

state

clear and transparent

transmission scheme

finds increased

quantity

search engines

lovers of ready

cooperate on these

understandable conditions with

state in order

to understand

how much is it

interaction

it is important to compare the work

archaeologist and

amateur search engine

person with

metal detector

archaeologist is looking for

all information

the man considered it

the detector is looking for

primarily objectives

Polish is

material object

for the archaeologist

found item

is the key to

treatment

historical

information for

understanding of events

which occurred

at a specific location

for the search engine

amateur search target

is often himself

on its own

subject at the same time

literate about

building

relationships and

trust of dogs from both

parties

cooperation

possible and possible

make such

discoveries that when

absence of this

cooperation is not

I would

participated in various

projects

examination with

archaeologists are such

as a survey

the rail corridor

baltica

this archaeological

mire survey

it’s urban

archeology at different

objects and I have

representation as

than lives

archaeological

communities

I know by hearsay

on the attitude

archaeologists to people with

metal detector and

often it

negative you can

to wonder why

negative kill we

talk about

mutually beneficial

cooperation on

perspectives

but unfortunately always

there will always be treasures

were and will be

treasure hunters for

which moral and

ethical cultural

legislative

norms do not have

meaning

people first of all

driven by a greed for profit and

fear of money a

this attitude is not

contribute to the

preservation of our

general cultural

heritage and

relations between

community

search engines and

archaeologists during the

illegal

treasure hunt

are damaged

antiquities at

there is a concealment

cultural

value and how

investigation

very important

historical

information

why is this so

scary everything is simple 2

delivery will not be different

words if the subject

extracted from the ground and

information about this

subject and place of it

detection

out of sight

science is practically

there is no chance

restore in

further

correct

sequence

historical events

specific place

one my good

acquaintances

known in Estonia

beyond

archaeologist begins

your lecture on the courses

before people

dealing with

of metals with a search from

metal detector

approximately so

know that I’m all of you

I do not like and hate

but if any of you

will make

really important

opening

I’ll shake his hand on him.

the default person is not

having

basic training

metal detector

man without

training is

great danger for

science and, above all,

this is a danger

strains and so

annoying

archaeological

communities arise

question what are the pros

may be

interaction if

everything is so bad in

that amateur

search is a huge

an incredible resource

enthusiastic stories

people enthusiasts

who conduct

a large number of

time in the fields in

forests in the marshes it

often not a template

approach to the selection of places

search in contrast to

academic

archeology and

non-standard

amateurish approach

often can

lead to a very

significant

the opening

a very vivid example

results found

archaeologist is self-taught

henry schloman 140

years ago troya and treasure

straight

you only think

adventurer seeker

treasures

became one of the

the founders

modern

academic

field archeology in

within the framework of history, I can

call three like that

one seat per

north coast

Estonia squeeze out the room

where for the last

several years was

found about

ten deposits

a dozen treasures of the era

Vikings

these treasures were

it was

search engines

amateurs of congestion

treasure on this

territories further

scientists

explore new

driving directions

vikings on the northern

coast of Estonia

gave further food for

the scientific community

finds of these treasures

were made in such

places where

according to one of the

archaeologists

one of the

archaeologists

academic science

never experienced

interest in earlier

marshy

where

who never

were perceived earlier

as an object to

research

because they are not

are typical

places of residence

in ancient times

but territorial

scope of action

search engines

lovers it is more

wide and often

going in search of

one topic you find

something else not less than

interesting like this

was a Roman warehouse

coins in search

places

cancer thief sky battle y

every person is

The chance to expand

history of our

country while preserving and

sensitivity to

our common

cultural heritage

person who has

desire to pick up

metal detector and go

in search of antiquity

without violating the

legislation

must take courses and

to get a permission

from the department

protection of monuments 100

this training

is aimed at

to be inexperienced

and by ignorance man

could not hurt

perhaps the most important

page in

historical book

of Estonia

if these conditions

every

can make his

contribution to world science

it does not matter

this

or amateur
