Mee too and

Holy Smokes!

What is a halberd?
Put simply it is an axe mounted on the end of a large spear. So in effect it is a melding of two different weapons - the axe and the spear but it wasn't used for throwing like the spear, just for thrusting. .

Holy Crap man!!! That's a Halberd!!! I have never heard of or seen one of them dug. That's awesome.

Ditto on that. I'll be surprised if anyone here has seen mention of one located with a detector, or located at all.

Unbelievable find!!

 

[Demrok]

unbelievable !!!

I wish we could see what it looked like with the missing pieces

But none the less, it looks to be in great shape o_O
You can even see some of the decorative marks on it!

Good job!

That's totally awesome. It would be really super if it wasn't broken.

Great find.

That is a VERY nice surprise!

I think I am going to start digging more iron now. No chance that I will find something that cool.
Kinda looks like one of the 2 halberds in this pic

Great find!
