Congratulations on finding such a rare item!
Shlomi Katzin rocks different poses as he shows off an old Crusader sword that he found during a dive at a beach in Carmel, Israel. Honestly, him discovering the relic during a swim feels like he unlocked a secret side quest or he accidentally opened a rare chest on the sea bed off the Carmel coast.
The sword has a one-meter-long blade and a 30-centimeter hilt. According to Nir Distelfeld, Inspector for the Israel Antiquities Authority’s Robbery Prevention Unit, “it was found encrusted with marine organisms but is apparently made of iron. It is exciting to encounter such a personal object, taking you 900 years back in time to a different era, with knights, armor, and swords.”
