On a detecting hunt during the Easter holiday I came across some iron objects in the ground stuck underneath some big rocks. After a little thinking I figured it had to be a grave.
So I called the county archaeologist and told him about my find. He was very happy to hear, and came to inspect the find a few days later.
He soon confirmed my theory after seeing it with his own eyes.
In the beginning of May, the excavations started. Two archaeologists from the museum and two from the county came to dig, they allso invited me to take part in it.
The excavation lasted for 4 days and we found lots of nice objects; Sword, Spearhead, Arrowheads, Axe, Schyte ++
They have dated the grave to "Late germanic iron age" 550-793AD
This is my best find... for now
(I did make a thread about this find in the Todays finds, but the title and some of the information is incorrect in it.)

It was a great experience to be able to take part and see the artefacts.
