A man using a metal detector has unearthed a medieval sword that might have served as a weapon during the Battle of Grunwald in 1410. Alexander Medvedev discovered the sword near Olsztyn, in northern Poland, alongside the metal remains of a scabbard, or sheath; a belt; and two knives that would have been attached to the belt, the local governmental Marshal's Office of Warmia and Masuria reported in a translated news release on April 22.
The person who carried the sword might have been one of roughly 66,000 people who clashed at the Battle of Grunwald on July 15, 1410, according to Encyclopedia Britannica.
"Such a find is found once in decades," archaeologists said, according to the statement.

Too bad we don't have "mibd" detectors. Maybe we could find a politician with a functioning one.

This is the kind of stuff that made me want to be an archeologist when I was a kid. Fascinating read.

Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen I pretended to want to be an archaeologist because one of our neighbors was a cute young archaeology grad student! She spent a lot of time in Egypt looking for mummies.
