Any area which lies in close proximity to the border, either between the counties of the state or between two countries, can be rightfully considered "hot" for cache hunting. Whether it was smugglers' activity or numerous wars in the medieval times, many coin hoards or other treasures were buried by people for various reasons on both sides of the border. My treasure hunting buddy Misha and I focused on the area near the city of Narva that was founded by the Danes on the Narova river, the natural border between Estonia (formerly Livonia) and Russia (formerly Novgorodian Republic, Muscovia, Ingria, Ingermanland), in 1256. This area saw five centuries of war hostilities that started back in the 13th century during the tense relationship between the Teutonic Knights of Livonian Order and Novgorodian Republic. During those wars, the major fortified cities were sieged, seized and recaptured by fighting armies many times, but eventually survived the warfare. The small settlements and villages had a different fate - they were destroyed, and their inhabitants were killed or taken away during the military skirmishes, raids and invasions. The villages were rebuilt, sometimes at different locations, in between the wars. That is why the best choice for the cache hunting site would be an area where the village once stood during the medieval times and disappeared later, preferably by the mid-18th century; the buried treasures remaining underground.
