Frozen Toes Entertainment's video: Metal detecting Norway - Old VIKING Iron

Welcome again to the metal detecting journey! This time the destination is northern Norway, which besides interesting detecting places to explore, offers breathtaking scenery as well. The first destination was the beach, which was not so easily reachable; a long drive, a boat taxi, and a few kilometers of hiking was part of the expedition, and the detector came along packed in the pack bag. On the other hand, the secluded location allowed for a luxurious silence and other people, not to mention other detectorists, were certainly far away. As one might guess, the Atlantic Ocean brings things ashore, and therefore a number of discoveries were fishery-related, wooden pieces with nails, and so on. There were old rusty buoys on the beach, and even a big whale’s jaw bone! Quite a unique place, but a couple of hours detecting didn’t reveal anything remarkable. The next destination was the fjord surrounded by the snow-capped mountains and rocky beaches. It was a low-tide, during which the shoreline was revealed for a more favorable search area. Compared to the ocean side beaches, this shallow fjord beach felt really clean with only few beeps here and there. That makes the detecting interesting and in a short time it is possible get around a fairly large area. Unlike in other locations, in Norway I changed the detector settings to show all metals, including iron. These fjords have been sailed for thousands of years, and of course, I had in my mind that the shore might hide old treasures from the Iron Age. This time I found something very interesting! At about twenty centimeters’ depth, I found this odd looking iron piece. I saw immediately, that it was a really old, hand-made piece of forged metal made by a blacksmith. I’ve made online searches for similar pieces, but with no results. I also sent the photos and information about this discovery to the Norwegian Viking Museum, but I haven’t received a response yet. If they respond, I'll post a new video about any additional information, so subscribe and stay tuned! If you had any idea what this metal piece could be, write it down to the comments. Thanks for watching!
