‘Extremely Rare’ 4,000-Year-Old Copper Dagger Discovered in Forest

In a remarkable archaeological discovery, a copper dagger believed to be over 4,000 years old has been unearthed by Piotr Gorlach, a metal detectorist, in the dense forests near the village of Korzenica, Subcarpathia Province, Poland.

Gorlach stumbled upon the ancient artifact while conducting a routine search with his metal detector, having initially overlooked it as he concluded his day’s exploration.

The dagger, exhibiting a green patina on its surface, was identified as a significant find by Gorlach, who recognized its age surpassing that of the military items from World War I and II commonly sought in the area.

Upon the discovery, Gorlach promptly informed archaeologists from the Orsetti House Museum in Jarosław, who conducted a preliminary investigation of the copper dagger.

Marcin Burghardt, an archaeologist with the Jarosław museum, dated the artifact to the second half of the 3rd millennium B.C.

Elżbieta Sieradzka-Burghardt, another archaeologist from the same institution, highlighted the rarity of copper objects in this region during that period, predating the emergence of bronze items, Newsweek reported.
