Talk about eyes only...

"Some time near AD750, someone left a Viking sword along a mountain plateau in southern Norway. On a late October day more than 1,250 years later, a hiker named Goran Olsen picked it up."

Interesting read it makes you wonder if any of these swords have been missed by detectorists because of ignoring iron signals on known Viking sites

I read this in the mail.. its hard to believe that an iron sword would still be in that condition after all those years in a wet environment as was found.

Thanks for a most interesting read. I shall keep my eyes open when I am fishing there next year.
