Farmer discovers 1,000-year-old rare Viking sword type Ulfberht

While cultivating a field that had not been ploughed for many years on a family farm in Suldal in south-western Norway, local farmer Øyvind Tveitane Lovra and his son discovered a rare Viking sword. Lovra initially thought it was part of an old piece of farming equipment, but upon closer examination he recognised the torso of a Viking weapon in the object. Only 170 swords of this type have been discovered in the whole of Europe.

Living history of Jenštejn

In the middle of last month, the first (and certainly not the last) year of the Living History of Jenštejn event took place. I was honored to be invited to give a presentation on the Unethian culture and a colleague from our germo association, Wulfaswaiut, gave a demonstration of Germanic weaponry in the 2nd and 4th centuries AD. Otherwise, there was definitely something to see...

The most beautiful metal detector find of May 2024 - qualification

It has to be said that the April round of the most beautiful find of the month is 99.99% decided by the kind of margin I'd expect to find a big lump of gold, not an ornate bronze knife.
