Hei tutti,
Oggi nel mio giardino di casa qui a Ostrobothnia, abbiamo trovato questo oggetto strano e arrugginito sepolto nel terreno. All’inizio, ho pensato che fosse solo una roccia strana o un po ‘di rottami casuali, ma dopo averlo pulito un po’, sembra esattamente come un metallo a spillo di Caltrop. Potrebbe provenire dalla Seconda Guerra Mondiale? O anche più vecchio?
Adoro sentire se qualcuno sa di più o ha visto qualcosa di simile trovato in questa regione. Questa cosa ha sicuramente una storia dietro di essa.
Grazie in anticipo!

I don’t know but could be older, Ostrobothnia was not affected directly by WW2, not to mention cavalry was not really used that much in WW2 by the Finns, so a more likely candidate could be the war of Finland from 1809 which saw extended battles in Ostrobothnia between Finns/Swedes and Russians. Another more recent candidate is the Civil War of 1918, but again I am not sure about the usage of cavalry
You are required by law to notify Museovirasto of found historical artefacts that are likely to be over 100 years old
Cool find
Cool find!
I really can’t come up with a reason why there would be a WWII caltrop, especially since they weren’t that common then.
If it really seems like one, loooking at the condition it seems to be in, it might be way older, and a good bit of length might have corroded away. Maybe get it checked by a pro? Your local museum surely can help with finding someone for that.
Based on the images, I’m not sure if it is one. Caltrops are made fast, and that one has more spikes than absolutely necessary (4) making it harder to make. Also, caltrops usually set so, that one of the spikes is always pointing upwards, which doesn’t seem to be the case here. But I’m just looking at the images, so take of this what you will.
Super interesting regardless. Update if you find out?
