A six-year-old boy in Norway made an extraordinary discovery during a school trip after spotting what looked like an old rusty piece of metal sticking out of the ground. The object, later identified as a 1,300-year-old sword from the pre-Viking era, has now become an important archaeological find.
The boy, identified as Henrik, was on a class excursion to Gran in the Hadeland region of Norway when he noticed the unusual object in a ploughed field. Curious, he picked it up and showed it to his teachers.
