I got a few blanks of CA volcanic obsidian for trying my own knapping; Talk about wielding Exquilibur here..in defense of the realm!

What does that have to do with Scotland?
I would think a gold sword would be even more important.

Earlier this month on the eastern coast of Scotland, the Council of Angus, Carnoustie was clearing land to build two soccer fields and uncovered pits and post-holes that were signs of ancient buildings. Upon further digging, archaeologists noticed a slight glimmer of gold. To reveal the artifacts in controlled conditions, a 176-pound block of soil around the find was removed and taken to the archaeology firm, GUARD’s, laboratory.
After a week of careful cleaning and dusting away the dirt, a bronze spearhead adorned with gold was uncovered.
