A 700-Year-Old Iron Spearhead

Many things that are found in the forest are found due to metal detectors. These people use their tools to search below the surface of the ground, and sometimes they find buried treasure. That happened in 2023 when metal detectorists searched a forest in Poland. In fact, they found a 700-year-old iron spearhead buried in the soil. As you can imagine, they were pretty proud of their discovery and wanted to show it off.
