Pretty cool archeological find in the UK...

The discovery of an 'extremely rare' Bronze Age spearhead and sword have been hailed as a find of 'international significance' after it was unearthed at a Scottish building site.

The weapons were among a ground-breaking hoard of ancient artefacts discovered in a pit being developed into council football pitches close to the small town of Carnoustie.

A leather and wooden sword sheath was also found and is believed to be the best preserved Late Bronze Age scabbard in Britain.
