In Norway,following the law all objects Older then 1537 and coins older then 1650 are the state´s property.
Things that are newer, I can keep. so get some coins and buttons.
but is pleased to have the confidence to take part in the excavation.

Nice law deal you got there.
This sounds like archaeologists, historians and treasurehunters get each their share...

Great finds. The glass beeds are great. Maybe venetian trade beeds?
Did you get a date for the grave?

Way to go...
The pendant with the garnet(?) eyes is supposed to be a warriors head with helmet or is my imagination too vivid?

Thank you so much for allowing us to be a part of this discovery through your videos. I have a background in Archeology and very much appreciate you taking time to share your videos with us. If it were not for you we would only get to experience the dig through information shared by official sources online and through the media. Your personal videos give us the opportunity to see so much more than we would normally get to see. Thank you again. I look forward to seeing more of your videos. Can you also please let us know if and when there is a website where we can see pictures of all of the finds after they are cleaned? Thanks again and Happy Hunting!

Thank you so much for the nice words, silversweeper.
I want to be part of the excavation the next week and will take more film.
It is revealed graves across the field. this will take a long time to dig out.
Now it pops up a lot in Norway but not many public photos or web pages that show this.
and they use probably 1-2 years to preserve the findings. but usually they start with the finest things first.
something shows up I'll post it.
