An Israeli scuba diver discovered a sword that likely belonged to a Crusader knight

Jacob Sharvit, director of the Marine Archaeology Unit of the Israel Antiquities Authority, holds a sword that experts say dates back to the Crusaders in Cesarea, Israel, on Tuesday.

The amateur Israeli scuba diver stumbled upon a bunch of ancient artifacts near his local beach, including a large, 900-year-old iron sword encrusted with marine organisms.
