Mystery Unveiled: Fisherman Discovers Astonishing Medieval Sword Hidden Beneath Poland’s Vistula River

What’s more, Andrzej Korpikiewicz is not the only person to stumble upon a sword or other astonishing archaeological discovery in Poland in recent years.

In February of 2025, metal detectorists found a 2,000-year-old Roman sword in a forest while looking for artifacts from World War II. About a month later, a Polish farmer stumbled across a 2,500-year-old necklace while making a path for his pasture.

In the past, low water levels in the Vistula River have led to the discovery of other important historical artifacts as well, including another sword in 2024. Now, with the river at historically low water levels, more archaeological finds may be revealed.

In the words of Michał Krasucki, “The Vistula River still hides many treasures.”


After reading about the medieval sword fished out of the Vistula River, read about the sword that was found in a sewer in Denmark. Then, read about how a Polish man stumbled upon a 4,500-year-old axe in a raspberry bush.
