Virtual visit to the Scythian burial mound (burial place)

Hi friends.
In this topic, I will not dig coins or artifacts ...
Today we will go on an excursion to the south of Ukraine ...
Our goal - examination of a Scythian burial mound ...
Mound is a large mound of earth - the grave ....
In 3-5 century BC buried so rich people (rich people elders)
When a person dies, people dug him a hole 3 or 4 meters deep ... In pit lozhili corpse, and with it the dishes and decorations ... Then people were hand-ground, a lot of ground and covered the grave ... large pile of earth ...
But even in those days, many of these mounds - were robbed ... People looking for there gold and silver ....
Many mounds were robbed in the 19th century, and now it sometimes goes ...
Yesterday I went to the mound, and made a few photos ... Dig there stop !!! by laws of Ukraine and moral principles (the grave)
But I detector, which would look far from the place ...

I go to the mound ... It is located 1 mile from my house ... I go to the steppe to the north.

This mound - the grave
Here what that person is buried about 2300-2400 years ago ... Finds that I have had in place of the old Scythian settlement refer to this date
Here is the mound from a distance of 20 meters .. A very large pile of earth
Mound - a monument of architecture and heritage history of Ukraine. In Ukraine, there are thousands of such sites with mounds

You can not dig the mound and dig there at all ... Distance to dig - 50 meters

I stop detector and Be it going to the top of the mound, I have to bring only the camera ..
If you are caught on the mound with a shovel and detector - will problemma ...
1) Major penalty \:hammer:
2) The possible prison sentence :beatdown:
3) Yous can beat the locals :blackeye:
In the end, it is necessary to have the grave and just respect for the dead

We are standing at the top of the mound ... Height of 4 meters of land

Note the trenches ...
In autumn 1941, this part of the territory was between 3 and 2 line of defense of Odessa ...
On the mound of red armiii soldiers dug trenches ... Now you can see the structure of the trenches
The trenches dug in all directions in preparation for perimeter defense ... The steppe is very stronger fire position.
According to local residents, the area was attacked by the Romanian army, and after that - the territory of the village and surroundings cleared the soldiers of the German SS.

I leave the mound and go west from him ... I walk 300 meters and cook detector ..
There is not a good place and few coins, but I have hope :dontknow:

Need to take a break. Cola good boosts energy in the cold -3 :yes:

Previously, there were fields and now a lot of different waste iron ... But the big trash. :detecting:

Usually it or tractor parts or pieces of exploded bombs or shells

I dropped my headphones and fixing broken ... It is a pity Now they need repair \:[
Dear Chinese <} ,,, If you are reading this - please make headphones better quality. Tired of your finger trouble :beatdown:

Continue to dig for another 1 hour, but today no lucky (no coins) and only metal .. I've been digging a lot of piece

I'm going home. No coins, but I do not particularly sought. I just went for 1 hour and did you picture Mound (ancient tomb). For our site -

So much history in your area, I love it. Are all the mounds that are in the area burial ones? Maybe next imes you'll get some of those great coins you post up here and not a tank.

Thanks for posting this, Serega! It is very interesting. I love to learn about other cultures. Sorry you didn't find any coins. Here in the States all of that scrap iron would be worth some money.

Are you still riding your scooter everywhere? :frozen:
