Title: Same field as Spearhead, any ideas? Post by: wagis on July 30, 2016, 07:36:39 PM Anyone any ideas on this one, very old core is iron and crumbly, with another metal possibly silver not sure over some of it. Same field as bronze age spearhead and viking bit came from about one and a half inches long by about one inch at its widest
