Saw a house was being cleaned out on my way home from work. Had my truck so decided to rummage through the big dumpster and bring home some treasures. Alas I didn't find any gold or silver this time, nor did I find anything really useful for use around the house. But I did find this ceremonial Knights of Columbus sword!

This is how it happened, I looked down into the dumpster under piles of wood and I saw something shiny. I reached in and pulled on the shiny thing. To my amazement it was a sword sheath. Then I thought, what are the odds that the sword is in there too. Sure enough I looked in and saw the blade - I had pulled the sheath right off the blade! So I reached in again and grabbed the blade and pulled out the entire sword. It is in like-new condition! I am so excited to have found this sword! Who throws a sword in a dumpster!?

ummm if it was used in a murder?
 
That's a pretty sweet find!
 
Great find. If you are not attached to it, I am sure the local chapter of the Knights of Columbus would be very appreciative to have it back.

Someone who sees no value in it, sees it as costume junk, or someone who hated the last owner.
 
Great catch... Sword in the stone/dumpster!!
