A late Merovingian to early Viking age sword found a week ago at Gran in Innlandet, Norway, by a 6 year old boy on a school trip who saw something peculiar sticking out of the ground. Thought to be roughly 1300 years old. [1663×1896]

That has to be decorative right? Its like 1/8″ thick…
I always wonder what I would do if I would bump into something of archeological value. Maybe not a sword, but e.g. a stash of Roman gold coins. Will I think of myself or of the greater good? I really don’t know.
All hail Good King (checks notes) Henrik!
