Hi all.
I have not posted anything for a while, but now I'm back with an awesome find.
During the easter holiday I spent most of the time out in the fields by the Hardangerfjord in Norway.
After digging insane amounts of modern aluminium trash I came across an intresting signal.
At first I thought it was just a big coin, but after starting digging I notised the signal came from something bigger and deeper than usual.
I hoped for a while it was a pot of silver treasure since I did'nt got any Iron-audio feedback on the machine.
Finaly I i found the source of the signal with the probe, It was somethig big, so I had to pull up a few more plugs to make the hole wider.
then I removed some more loose soil and then I notised It was something made out of iron, multiple objects close together.
I look closely at it and got like a flashback to earlier this year when I found the Viking-grave.
I notised a object that might could be a sword, and something that could be a scythe. I was pretty sure I had came across another viking-grave.
I grabbed my videocamera and did some recording, covered it carefully back up and called the state/county archelogist.
Two days later the archeologist came to take a look at the find to verify that I was right about it being a grave. Along with him came a local archeologist he had invited with him.
We removed the soil again, and soon a very exited archeologist could confirm that it was a grave.
But not a vikingage grave this time, but even older. At first he dated it to be from around 450-500 AD., but later same evening he sendt me a text telling me he had done some research and he think it is from the time of "Roman Iron Age" (100-400 AD)
We have not removed anything from the grave yet, but it will be an excavation in not too distant future. And I hope my boss will let me take som time off so I can be there and help, take pictures and do video-recording.
(Some of the pictures is showing a rock with manmade carvings on it)
Happy hunting folks, Ill keep you posted!
