Fans of searching for artifacts have been going to this field for 10 years already. But there are always finds. And here I am again here. My findings in two days.

Rare Ancient bone for playing. Game Bone Astragalus Vikings 10-13 AD. A rare artifact of the Vikings, Kievan Rus. Age about 1000 years.
Found personally in the former settlement of Kievan Rus in Ukraine using a metal detector on October 27, 2017.
It is made of sheep bone and is filled with lead.
Length 1.10" (28mm)
Width 0.78" (20mm)
Height 0.59" (15mm)
Weight: 14.25g
Knucklebones (astragali), were an essential part of many ancient games: was played using four astragali with different values on each side (with lead studs indicating the value of each side). Was played with five astragali, simultaneously thrown into the air to be caught on the back of the hand. Natural knucklebone was usually cut down, grinded, drilled and filled with lead.
