I became interested in runes when I compiled a presentation of rune staffs in the almanac archive of the Almanac Office at the University of Helsinki (“Finländska runstavar”). I observed there was no objective book on runes in Finnish, so I wrote my own (Riimut: Viestejä viikingeiltä 2015) which describes Finnish rune staffs, runic objects, and runestones. When I wrote the book there were two Finnish entries in the Scandinavian runic-text database (Sw. Samnordisk runtextdatabas): one brooch and one stone. My book describes an additional six well-documented objects with runic signs (five coins and one wooden cup), and one (disputed) inscription in stone, the Sund Cross from Åland, with the same runes cut in a cliff near Kastelholm
