6-year-old boy finds 1,300-year-old sword on school field trip

They always said he was a sharp student.

A schoolboy in Norway made the discovery of a lifetime when he spotted a rusty object protruding from the ground on a field trip that was actually a 1,300-year-old sword predating the Viking era.

First-grader Henrik Refsnes Mørtvedt, 6, was on a class trip to Norway’s Innlandet county, a vast expanse of untamed wilderness and jaw-dropping mountain ranges, when he made the unusual find as the group made their way across a field.
