It'll be interesting to see where the components of the bronze came from.

It was probably originally placed in shallow water. As the sea gradually retreated, the former bay changed to marshland and finally into the field. The sword was covered with layers of peat,” she said. That's a shame. If it had stayed in the lake, a Lady of the Lake could have held it aloft signifying by Divine Providence that the finder would carry it and be the King.

Don’t know if there’s much of a market for this.
Will have to keep it for a long time.
Taking a lot of risk here.

Bronze has some good material qualities and in some ways superior to steel.
