A farmer and his son started clearing stones to prepare for planting. The farmer picked up some metal “trash” to throw it away — then realized he was holding a rare Viking weapon.
Archaeologists say this is probably the first time a sword like this has been found in Rogaland. Archaeologists identified the weapon as a rare Viking sword dating between 900 and 1050. The well-preserved sword is about 15 inches long but only about half of its original length.
