> “one of its kind”

Although accurate, that's probably not the phrase they were looking for.

That’s the phrase that was used though. If you go through to the original article they said

“This one is this far the only one of its kind in Halland”.

The secondary article made it sound worse by leaving of the other words.

Let’s see. This amulet, similar to those found in other parts of Scandinavia, is the first of its kind to be found in Halland.

Clearer, yes?

This kind of thing is actually quite common. Not as common as hammer heads buried in the ground but like, one of the more common trinkets.

Thurkill has a boatload of these. He also has crosses for the slaves.

Sweden is not an amazing location for a find like this.

What do you mean? They’re mostly talking about that it’s amazing they found it in Halland (Part of Sweden) because they haven’t found one there before.

Its not “amazing”, because most would expect one in sweden. I am not amazed. Quite sure theyre not either. Interesting though.

I suppose it would be more amazing if it were found in Australia.
