But sometimes they apparently "grow" in our little country too. And I had the privilege, after more than two thousand years, to bring this beauty out of the darkness and into the light...

We have an enquiry from the Swedish museum Blekinge about a find on LP. It is probably a brooch/clasp. A similar one was found during excavations in Sweden and they are trying to find more information.
