Everything is found in farmland. Norway.

My friend also found a vikingpearl very near me.

The "dragonhead" decoration is a part of a box haspe.

Everything has been dated back to the viking age by many people but of course it could always be wrong. If someone knows more about the finds, please say what you know =) :icon_thumleft:

Cool, love the beast head terminal.

I can't work out the shape of the lead 'weight', but it 'might' be a gaming piece?

It's flat on both of it sides. Weights 23 grams.
It was confirmed by a "lead" weight scientist from Denmark.
