A significant archaeological find was made in Biskupiec, Poland, where a longsword and two axe heads from the late Middle Ages were discovered. Members of the Bishop's Detector Association, while searching for WWII artifacts, unearthed these remarkable weapons. The well-preserved sword, over three feet long and identifiable as a hand-and-a-half longsword, reflects the craftsmanship of the late medieval period. The find, deemed historically valuable, will be studied and later displayed at the Museum in Ostroda, further enriching the region's medieval legacy.
The discovery of a rare longsword and two axe heads in northern Poland highlights the region's rich medieval history and the importance of responsible metal detecting.
The sword, over three feet long and identified as a hand-and-a-half longsword, showcases the craftsmanship of the late medieval period with an octagonal pommel.
These artifacts, discovered by the Bishop's Detector Association, emphasize the collaboration between amateur historians and professionals in preserving cultural heritage.
The excellent condition of the weapons suggests they were submerged for an extended period, reflecting the historical changes of the Osa River's course in medieval times.
