The object was carved into the shape of an animal's head and intricately decorated. So the family called the local administrative board, Länsstyrelsen, which sent out three archaeologists to investigate the site. When they arrived, Bruno directed them to the exact spot where his discovery had been made.
After an initial spot check, researchers from Gotland's museum carried out a full investigation at the site. They were not disappointed. The researchers found another suit buckle, this one shaped like a ring. Since discovering the ancient buckle, Bruno has been considering a career as an archaeologist, his father says."Both buckles are made of bronze and belong to costumes from the late Iron Age or early Viking Age," Therese Lindström, cultural environment manager at the County Administrative Board in Gotland County, said in a statement.
It is believed that the grave was most likely disrupted at an earlier point, with the buckles coming to the surface as the earth was plowed. Both buckles are to be sent for preservation, and their ultimate fate will be determined by the National Antiquities Authority in Sweden."We were asked to keep it a secret until the site was properly examined," said Andreas."Bruno is really proud of what he found and happy that he's finally allowed to tell people about it. He has even started thinking about becoming an archaeologist when he grows up.
