One of maybe 50 decorative mounts from a man's belt of the 900s or 1000s. Found an hour ago. #archaeology #vikings
@mrundkvist wow. Amazing. Ill have one, please.
@mrundkvist It's quite exhilarating to see these things so quickly after they've been unearthed. Thank you for sharing!

@SorenMRiis Smartphones are pretty good that way! I like to communicate straight from the field.

Metal detecting with a big team is also an amazingly fast way to discover or re-evaluate sites. We knew almost nothing about this site last week. It's way bigger and more normal now.

@mrundkvist

I wonder what the belt might have looked like in its day.

@Morgunin These men were buried with their belts, so we have a pretty good idea. Sometimes 70 mounts!
@mrundkvist This is sooo cool!
