An eight-year-old girl has stumbled on a pre-Viking era sword in a lake in southern Sweden.
Saga Vanecek was helping her father with his boat in the Vidostern lake when she stepped on an 85cm (34in) sword in a holster made of wood and leather.
The sword is believed to be about 1,500 years old.
A brooch from between 300AD to 400AD was eventually found.
Mr Nordstrom said archaeologists are trying to understand why the items were there, with one suggestion being that it was for sacrificial purposes.
