<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DonnaML, post: 8232436, member: 110350&quot;]Sellers of metal detector finds in Ukraine are notorious for describing whatever they find as Kievan Rus or Viking, because that&#039;s what buyers in the West want. The chances that that&#039;s what it actually is -- as opposed to something that may long predate Kievan Rus -- are not great. Not that you&#039;re ever likely to see it.&nbsp; If you want it identified nonetheless, you can join the io ancientartifacts group, where there are experts on this kind of thing, and post the photo there.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would hope the feelings that you express aren&#039;t viewed as controversial here, and that there aren&#039;t too many members who would disagree. Nonetheless, this isn&#039;t really the place for the subject.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
