Mushroom picker finds 3,300-year-old sword

[Still Waters]

In the Czech Republic, a man who was mushroom-picking close to his home ended up finding a 3,300-year-old sword from the Bronze Age, according to Radio Prague International.

It was reported that a local resident, Roman Novak, found the ancient sword in a forest in Jesenicko, Northern Morovia, whilst he was indulging in the Czech tradition of mushroom picking (or mushroom-hunting as it is also known).

He said “It had just rained and I went mushroom-picking. As I went, I saw a piece of metal sticking out of some stones. I kicked it and found that it was a blade, part of a sword. I then dug some more to find a bronze axe.”
