Armor piercing crossbow bolt

[Full Metal Digger]

Hi Diggers,
Thought I would share this with you. One of my German detecting buddies found this recently and gave it to me (I did the electrolysis and cleaning though). It's a crossbow bolt meant to pierce armor and dates to between the 10th and 13th centuries. This is the kind of gift that any detectorist likes to receive!

Looks heavy and it looks like it would do the job. A cool gift for sure!

Awesome gift Dave!

You would be a definite gonner if ever hit with that...armor or not!
