Excalibur' found? 700-year-old sword discovered stuck in a rock

Legend has it that King Arthur was the only person able to pull Excalibur from a stone. But a newly discovered blade found stuck in a rock in a Bosnian river is being described as a "real-life Excalibur." The 700-year-old sword, discovered in the Vrbas River, was found 36 feet underwater, stuck in a rock while archaeologists were excavating a nearby castle, The Sun reports. The Vrbas is a 150-mile long river in the heart of Bosnia, right near the city of Banja Luka.
Archaeologist and curator at the Museum of the Republika Srpska, Ivana Pandzic, said the sword was stuck in "a solid rock, so special care was needed when pulling it out" in comments obtained by The Sun. LINK

No it doesn't. The sword he pulled out the stone was not Excalibur. Excalibur was given to him by the Lady in the Lake.

Pretty sure the sword in the stone and Excalibur were two different swords. The Lady of the Lake gave Arthur Excalibur. Whoever grabbed that rust mfer may need to get something from Lady of the Lake too, a damn tetanus shot.

Well it wasn't Arthur who could do it either, because he didn't pull Excalibur from the stone. It was given to him by the Lady of the Lake

Lots of versions of the tale, in some versions including some of the oldest the sword in the stone and Excalibur are the same thing. In some they are different, like the version you reference. I know he pulls the sword out of an anvil instead of a stone in one of the early versions.
