A team of researchers with the Westfalen-Lippe Landscape Association revealed during a presentation in the city of Schmallenberg that one of the largest hoards of Iron Age weapons in western Germany had been unearthed at a nearby dig site on a small mountain in Wilzenberg. In their press release, the researchers note that they found approximately 100 Celtic Iron Age artifacts—primarily through the use of a metal detector.

Those round shaft parts of the spear points look awful accurate to be made during the Iron Age.

Those items represented a lot of money at the time.

—”the spear points look awful accurate to be made during the Iron Age.”

The Celts were amazing blacksmiths. Seen artifacts with incredible detail.

Seems like round would be one of the easiest profiles to make.

It only took archaeologists 50 years to adopt the technology of metal detecting after it came around. it says some pretty sad things about the people in the profession of archaeology.

Those round shaft parts of the spear points look awful accurate to be made during the Iron Age. Humans in the past have been as intelligent as modern man for at least 100,000 years. Considering what's going on today I am beginning to think perhaps they were more intelligent.

Germanic people were famous for their spears.
To: wildcard_redneck
Yes! I was stunned to read that—not using metal detection for an iron age dig? WTF?
To: Sawdring
Oh no, the Germans hoarding weapons. This never turns out good.

Once all the Germans were warlike and mean,
But that couldn’t happen again.
We taught them a lesson in 1918
And they’ve hardly bothered us since then.
