Engineers stumbled upon the historic axes by chance, while searching the woods metal detectors. The weapons have been initially identified by an archaeologist as late-medieval Teutonic battle axes.
Iron axes were close to each other, shallow underground, among the roots of trees. “It can be assumed that this is a deposit that someone left for better times. Perhaps the person fled, hid the weapons and never returned to this place” – told PAP Agata Trzop-Szczypiorska, responsible for archaeological supervision of the engineers’ work.
