          Tweezers found at Honington, south Lincolnshire, and is suggested that item may have had an ecclesiastical purpose, perhaps candle-snuffers?

          @caitlinrgreen how were we able to first translate this form of runes? Was it due to a rosetta stone type multi language find?

          @wildgooseman Looking around, apparently folk knowledge: "In 1593 Bureus... learned to read the runes from the local farmers." etc

          @caitlinrgreen thx for the reply. Does this mean the runic writing/language was still in use circa the 17th century?

          @wildgooseman Well, apparently so in late 16th-century Sweden, or at least it was still understood by some? Not my specialism though!! :)

          @caitlinrgreen The #Norse gods were still worshiped in parts of #Scandinavia at that time? Anywhere in Britain (in 11th century)?
