"On Wednesday morning, a sensational archaeological find was made during excavation work outside Ystad. One of the missing Hunnestadsstenarna was found after having been missing since the 18th century." https://www.svt.se/nyheter/lokalt/skane/forsvunnen-runsten-hittad-efter-300-ar
"A fantastic fun find, which you did not think would happen. This stone has been gone for so long that we thought it was destroyed", said Magnus Källström, runologist at the Swedish National Heritage Board.
Here's the double page spread showing the Hunnestad runestones from Ole Worm's "Danicorum Monumentorum libri sex", printed in Copenhagen in 1643.
