The artifacts were sent anonymously to The National Museum Of Ireland.
A Westmeath farmer who found two bronze age axe-heads, says he could have thrown them into the ditch, as he didn't know what they were.
Coraltown's Thomas Dunne, who found the ancient items in his silage field, initially thought they were bits of a horse plough before anonymously sending them away to The National Museum Of Ireland.
The NMI says it gratefully received the axe heads and information regarding its whereabouts as this allows archaeologists to understand ancient settlements.
Mr. Dunne says, he has no idea how they got into that field:
