One of them, I don't remember if it's the one in the Museum or if it's the
one in private archieve I sent you. I know of two alike found in Minnesota.
One of them was found together with Medieval type of Scandinavian fishing
hooks and one of the green glass beads we been discussing many times over
during the years. That one was found during excavation close to a
cave(rather more a type of shield). I don't have all details for the other
one.
One of the axes, I will present some information of the specific
usage-periods in my article, is more interesting than the other ones.
