12th century Crusader sword discovered “by chance” by a University of Haifa student off coast of Israel

A 12th-century Crusader sword, likely belonging to a European knight, was discovered by a student swimmer in a historic anchorage off Israel’s Dor Beach, with imaging revealing battle-related damage. The artifact, found heavily encrusted with marine growth, marks the second such discovery by the student in the same area, say researchers. For more details, visit the University of Haifa website.
