A man using a metal detector has unearthed a medieval sword that might have served as a weapon during the Battle of Grunwald in 1410. 

Alexander Medvedev discovered the sword near Olsztyn, in northern Poland, alongside the metal remains of a scabbard, or sheath; a belt; and two knives that would have been attached to the belt, the local governmental Marshal's Office of Warmia and Masuria reported in a translated news release on April 22.

"Such a find is found once in decades," archaeologists said, according to the statement...

There are a couple of good rmeinders there.  I doubt if the sword was found first, althought it could have been.  In either case, when you find one good thing, search the area well for related items.

Notice the hook, buckles and other items that go with the sword.

Recent Beach Finds by Christopher N.

Christopher said, Here are some finds I got the other day in Daytona while working the upper tide line I found lots of pennies as usual some dimes two quarters and rusty nails, pop tops, and other trash.
No silver or gold this run...

Christopher found a 10K ring, silver ring, and a fake escudo at the beach.  He also recently found a silver cross and skull ring at the beach.

On another hunt at an inland old camp site he found the following balls and buttons.

Chris said since it got warm people have been swimming.   Like I always say, "There is always some place to hunt and something to find."  Adapt to whatever is going on.

I went to the beach Wednesday and found the following along with a few coins.

The 10K ring is missing the gem stone, but the 14K earring has some diamonds.

I also went on a bottle hunt yesterday, but struck out on that one.  I did find three almosts on that hunt. I found three bottles that would have been good finds if they weren't broken.

I found the top of a Coca Cola Soda Water Bottle.  The one with embossed stars. They are nice bottles. 

I also found a blown brown blob-top bottle.  Probably an old beer bottle.  It had a broken top.

The other was an older ABC  (Anheuser Busch Company) bottle - also broken.

So I was close on a few, but the good ones were all damaged.
