The new investigation "Black Diggers: how to find the treasure?" will be shown on REN TV on August 9.

Russia is experiencing a boom in treasure hunting. Gold, mammoth tusks and antiques: how much can you earn from this? What are Russians looking for in forests, fields and dungeons? Who are they selling their finds to? How do I find something worthwhile and not end up in jail? The secret treasure map of Russia is featured in the REN TV documentary investigation "Black Diggers: How to find the treasure?".

In the company of a treasure hunter with half a century of experience, the authors of the project set off along the route of the "black diggers" to the Kaluga region to find out what secrets the basements of ancient manors hold. And together with the FSB officers, a resident of Krasnodar was caught baiting, who got hold of the largest antique coin of Tsar Bosporus Evpator and decided to sell it.

Mammoth tusks, woolly rhinoceros skulls and bison skeletons: how much do these bones cost on the black market? The creators of the project have studied what hides the thick layer of the Yakut permafrost.

Is it possible to find a treasure in an hour? The authors of the film decided to test this in practice: armed with a metal detector and diving equipment, they went to a beach near Moscow.

Where and how do smugglers hide their finds? How are customs tricked into transporting prohibited goods across the border? The REN TV channel has exposed the criminal scheme of illegal traders.

The documentary "BLACK DIGGERS: HOW TO FIND THE TREASURE?" will be released on Saturday, August 9, at 17:00, on REN TV.
