Hello from Russia ! :cheers:

A Russian church in the Wild West
By R-A Business staff | Published 10/14/2008 | Features | Unrated

By the 1920s, the Russian ethnic community was the second largest immigrant group in Oklahoma


The small Oklahoma town of Hartshorne, some 15 miles away from the city of Macalister is still sometimes referred to as the Russian town. There, on top of a hill that the locals continue to call Russian stands the main historic sight of the area, an Orthodox Church of St. Cyril and Methodius.

It is a beautiful red-brick temple with three onion-head domes and Orthodox crosses

Thanks for a wish and the offer. It is very a pity to me but I sell nothing from this that I have found. For me it costs more expensively what or money. All finds fill up mine yet very big collection. But I have a coin double. And i can suggest to exchange to you or even to present to you some coins if you want it.
In Russia it is a lot of people with detectors and I know some personally
They can probably help you. Write me what coins you interest. If any gold or silver it is necessary to know their price. Leave to me your е mail.
What for roubles you have? (Coins or a paper) What year of release?
If it is possible show a photo of roubles to me.:buds:


BJ in Okla.
Thanks big for a photo and the text. Church very beautiful and small.
The text very big and me time to translate it is necessary.
After transfer I will answer you. Ok?

Yes, you are right. For a long time about churches passed fairs and markets and there people lost many coins. It is possible to find about 5000 coins on one place. But there is one problem.
Churches which could not break, communists used under warehouses. Therefore about such churches a lot of metal dust. And to search for coins very difficult.
Here an example.

Privet!!!

What region are you from? The history there is unbelievable....My wife is from Tomsk...I was there many times a city that is 400 years old....... it blows my mind, the history there and to see some of those buildings still standing is remarkable.....I told my wife that I would need a year here just to detect a small portion of the city....weather or not detecting is allowed.....I never seen anybody there do it......It drives me crazy when I go there to see all this history and know what I can find there.
Thanks for showing the photos it's awesome my wife was amazed also..

I from the city of Samara. It to the west than Tomsk. You are right, Tomsk very old Siberian city. With beautiful old houses.
Samara is constructed 500 years ago. And at us too many old buildings. And rich history. But you should be cautious! To search with the detector in a city it is forbidden! It is necessary to have many special permissions. Which cannot be received.
It is possible to search in the country. Or in an old part of a city when nobody sees you. It will be better for you and will be more finds. Buy an old card and find not inhabited villages.
There will be a good result. And in a city it is possible to admire simply a fine view. Here a photo of Tomsk of 19 centuries.
