Sword... Hays Kansas

[ixKNIVESxi]

Found this about two and a half feet deep. Sorry about the bad backdrop haha. Ill upload some better pictures soon.

Sword has ONE singular pinhole located toward the back (non cutting) of the blade. It was clearly oiled or something because the right side of the handle is the only portion of the blade that remains unscathed by rust. It also had some sort of design but is so corroded that i cannot discern what it is..

It is incredibly fragile. Leading me to believe it could be of significant age.

A long sword over 2 feet deep must have taken some digging! I probably would have hauled on it and ruined it. Good going getting it out intact!

Its actually broken where that pinhole is . It was hanging on by a thread and i separated it that way i wouldn't risk it falling off during the walk home and damaging the lower part even further haha. Thank you! Its sooo incredibly fragile though.

Need to find someone who can scan it or something. It definitely has some sort of etching in the bottom but years of wear have made sure its gona be a difficult job trying to render an image of it.

Might try transfer paper (like indiana jones and the shield marker haha)
