I remember going to Jorvik quite a few times when I was younger (as my sister went to york Uni) - my mother caused a bomb scare there by leaving a bag full of knitting behind in the shop..... Title: Re: My Viking Sword Pommel On Display At Jorvick (York) Post by: Spooyt Vane on June 05, 2013, 11:55:41 AM The real thrill was finding the pommel and i have found many fine objects..But this sword pommel was smy top find IN 37yrs of metaling detecting...Your time will come Val :)
