A while ago there was a necklace discovered in Sweden [1], thought to be about 2000 years old it made international headlines. Then it made headlines again when analysis revealed it was a fake.
Not saying this knife will turn out to be a fake but seeing "Experts will soon conduct a metallurgical analysis" makes me just that little bit hesitant.

- unwind 2y agoWe also have "the moped ring" [1], an 800-gram gold+silver necklace from 500 AD that some kid clipped a piece off to fix their moped. :) This is on display at the Historical Museum in Stockholm, which has a fancy vault-like "Gold room" [2] showing off lots of found treasures.
