Searched the river with a magnet, found a 1,100-year-old sword

So-called "magnet fishing" - fishing for ferromagnetic objects from rivers, streams, lakes and ponds is generally an interesting activity, where you can sometimes catch a nice piece of history. But rarely something as old as Trevor Penny, who pulled a complete 9th century Viking sword from the River Cherwell near Enslow in West Oxfordshire.
At first Trevor didn't know just how old the find had 'stuck' to his magnet, but after consulting friends and those with knowledge of the matter, he contacted the Portable Antiquities Scheme liaison officer at Standlake: "At first I wasn't quite sure what it was. Some people confirmed that it was definitely very old. As soon as I got home I immediately contacted the liaison officer," described the finder, who coincidentally had a birthday on Saturday.
The finds officer subsequently identified the object as a Viking sword dating between 850 and 975 AD. It is the oldest object ever discovered in Oxfordshire during a magnet hunt. Swords of this type can retain traces of organic residue on the hilt - such as wood, leather, cloth - even after hundreds of years in water. It is therefore very important that the weapon is gently cleaned and preserved. Underneath the corroded surface could be organic treasure.
Since Trevor used the magnet for the search without the consent of the landowner and the river, he will probably not be able to recognise the sword as treasure under the Treasure Act 1996. Moreover, in Britain this method is illegal in most places: 'There has been a small dispute with the land and river owners who do not allow magnet fishing. But they sent me a legal document saying they would not act on the condition that the sword be handed over to the museum, which I did," Penny added, adding that the sword will remain in a local museum, probably in Witney.

Krátká je, ale myslím, že to dost zkresluje, jak ho drží v rukou nakloněný od sebe .
no česká cihla má na výšku 7 cm,nevím jak anglická ale i tak to tipuji na 8 cm 
není také možné že při této velikosti by byl dvouručný a ten spodní kus tam chybí? 
Tennle meč měl to specifikum, že se držel pouze třemi prsty. Je to známý vikingský tříprsťák.
Každopádně krásný železo 
Tykráso toto najít
V minulosti se tu jeden nález meče objevil. Byl ze středověku a jednalo se o lesní nález. Byl poblíž nějaké kupecké stezky....
Ta rukojeť mne příde moc malá?🤔
Mazec! Kolik anglosasů asi vykrvil? 
Možná žádného. Mohl to být obětní meč.
Že by zrovna válečnická společnost vikingů obětovala meče? To je jako kdyby spisovatel obětoval psací stroj.
Tenhle byl třeba nechtěně obětován během vylodění......
Super. 
Obětiny byli třeba i ze zlata v hodnotě větší, než měl takovýto meč.
