According to the county archeologist Klaus Grote in Hedemünden a "sensation for the experts" was found: a metal chain which fixes head and hands at the same time. It was found at one of the outposts of the Roman camp at Hedemünden near Göttingen.
Similar chains are not known from the antiquity, said Grote. They are known as "Halsgeige" from the middle ages.
Also, a second pugio was found, seemingly a sacrifice.
