In the bowels of the earth there is a huge number of treasures and hiding places that have attracted hunters for adventure and easy money for a long time. Weapons and uniforms of soldiers of the Second World War, caches of Stepan Razin - all these and many other artifacts gave rise to the emergence of the so-called "illegal archaeologists" or "black diggers".
Instructions
Step 1
Today, unauthorized searches for treasures not only arouse indignation on the part of the representative of "white" science and the public, but are also prohibited by law, some acts even fall under the articles of the Criminal Code. After all, black diggers, as a rule, do not stop at any obstacles in order to achieve their goal: they destroy monuments, ruin the collections collected for years, scattering them later in parts across the countries of the far and near abroad.
Step 2
Among the black diggers, those who are engaged in excavations without a license, there are real fans of their business, overwhelmed with a thirst for new discoveries, but there are also thugs, they are usually divided into several podcasts: these include black archaeologists, treasure hunters and ordinary trophy hunters.
Step 3
The first group is usually considered to be the most "dangerous" individuals, they seek to find the most valuable finds, penetrate into prohibited territories, bribe authorized persons and representatives of local authorities, and often have really serious historical knowledge. As a rule, such organizations have a whole staff of very savvy research workers, because in order to discover a serious treasure, you need to know where and what to look for.
Step 4
Treasure hunters-groupings, focused on the search for valuable treasures and coins, which will be profitable in the future. This is the most numerous category, often driven by purely romantic impulses and the spirit of adventurism. As a rule, they are unceremonious and fearless, not afraid of dilapidated buildings, wild animals, robbers and aggression of the local population.
Step 5
Trophyers, or "black trackers" are people who spend a huge part of their time on analytical work, because their goal is the trophies of the Second World War and the study of the terrain on which at one time or another there were battles and battles. Several decades ago, trophy workers had a very legal status and included not only employees of historical clubs, but also volunteers and schoolchildren helping to find the remains of soldiers and remove fragments of shells and old mines. Today, these are illegal squads, scouring the forests in search of weapons and rewards and sending their findings to black markets. Among them there are also gravediggers who do not disdain the personal belongings of German soldiers and officers.
Step 6
As a rule, any of the above categories of black diggers finally deprives the scientific community of the opportunity to explore this or that territory, because they not only rob burial grounds, but also damage the layers of earth that are necessary to restore certain historical events.
Step 7
Today, the law provides for serious sanctions for such illegal activities. The sale of special equipment and equipment is under the vigilant control of the authorities. Being caught at the "crime scene" provides for a prison term.
