Norwegian couple found a Viking Age Grave And Sword in their garden

Sometimes, you don't have to go far to make an incredible archeological discovery, but few of us expect to find something of historical value in our homes. Yet, this rather unusual scenario does happen occasionally. A Norwegian couple was extending their home when they suddenly noticed something unusual sticking up from the earth. It looked like a sword, and that is exactly what it was.

Oddbjørn Holum Heiland and his wife Anne were digging behind the Setesdalshouse from 1740, which they wish to extend on June 30.

“I wasn’t going to dig a lot, just a little bit in the slope behind the house, to get some more space between the house and the land,” Heiland told to Science in Norway from Setesdal in Southern Norway.

When he removed the grass and the topsoil, he found an oblong stone. He didn’t think much of it, put it aside, and kept digging. When the digging bucket dug into the next layer, the moraine under the top soil, an iron thing all of a sudden popped up.

“I looked at it and thought that this looks a loot like a sword blade. And then when I released the contents of the digging bucket, the hilt of the sword fell out, ”Heiland told Science in Norway.
