Note; The Arreton is a flat axe with a kind of small flange, but ''It is very difficult to decide when raised edges of axes officially turn into flanges''
Confirmed with archaeologist today. An 1800s find. BC.
Ran into any trouble with the Archeologist?
Did he skrew around with regard to permission by Denkmalschutzbehörde?
When Crusader and Westfront agree, it leaves little doubt in my head. Wow, congrats again. That's a once-in-a-lifetime find, and a banner IMHO.
I had little doubt as well. Those 2 are obviously extremely knowledgeable. On of the reasons this site is awesome.
Thanks Scrappy, T-Net is is great because we all share our knowledge, no matter if it's a special field of activity or just common sense. You can learn something new any day here.
No sir. Just suggested I bring it to the museum as they might wish to display it.
Not a Sir, just me :-). I am not "The man" or something.
It may be very hard to part with this, but it also be one of the earliest items in the local Museum. I think I would in your place.
Also your face in the local Newspaper "Metal Detectorist finds oldest Axe in XXX" may actually be very cool.
Let me rephrase the above. It might be "normal" as in archeological finds and artifacts found in museums, however for one of us fellow metal detectorists this has to be a rare find. Banner vote in.Imo, that should be up top. May be normal for you guys over the pond but for me, that's just incredible.
Just the fact that you have gone as far back as you can in metal detecting in your area says a lot . Very nice save. I can not imagine that age frame unless it is in stone.
